Crusade: The Fourth Crusade

Scenario Briefing: What if - Alexios III has assembled his garrison and is preparing to crash into the Crusader camp. Historically, Alexios, for unknown reasons, decided not to attack. However, if you choose to play as the Anti-Crusader Byzantines, the battle will commence and blood will soak the grounds in and around the Crusader camp. As the Crusader, repulse this attack and continue the siege to ultimate victory. Once achieved, the Crusaders can continue their stated goal of retaking Jerusalem.

Ships are symbolically represented and cannot maneuver.
