Crusade: The Fourth Crusade
Scenario Briefing: Historical - Alexios III has fled the city and Alexios IV and his blinded father, Isaac II have regained the throne. But wait, after several months of civil and political unrest and court intrigue, both Alexius IV and Isaac II have been murdered. In their place, came Alexios Doukas, known as Mourtzouphlos, was crowned the new Emperor and become Alexios V.
This scenario depicts the "Final Chapter" in this, the Fourth Crusade. Alexios V has refused the harsh peace terms proposed by Doge Enrico Dandolo and closed off the city from the Crusaders. In response, the Crusaders have decided that enough is enough. If the Emperor, now the 4th they have had dealings with, will not come to honor the original terms proposed by Alexios IV, then the city will be taken by force and a new Latin ruler placed on the throne.
The Crusaders plan is to take the city via its sea wall running along the shore of the Gold Horn. But this day will not go as planned. Heavy winds are threatening many of the ships and their Crusader troops that are waiting to scale the walls. As a result, only about half the intended force will reach the wall. As the Crusader, your task will be to take the city with this reduced fighting force. Plan well and execute better.
Note that there is an exit hex at 48,57. Use this to remove friendly units and gain more points.
Ships are symbolically represented and cannot maneuver.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crusader against the Anti-Crusader AI or played Head-to-Head.
Suggested reading: Nicolle, David, The Fourth Crusade 1202-04. Osprey Campaign Series. Vol. 237. Also, J. Phillip "The Fourth Crusade and the Sack of Constantinople".
