Crusade: The Fourth Crusade

Scenario Briefing: Variant - This scenario will allow the Varangian guard, who historically abandoned Alexios V for lack of payment, to stand by their new emperor in the hopes that if victorious, they will be richly rewarded. To leave now would mean that all they have sacrificed will have been for nothing.

Also, in this variation, the balance of the Crusading army has crossed the river, at the great bridge and have assembled to attack the Byzantine camp. While this is going one, a larger force of Crusaders have crossed the Golden Horn via the Venetian fleet and are preparing to attack the sea wall. And this time, they have a siege tower that will appear on the shore at one of 4 selected beach hexes. Each hex has a 25% chance of being selected and can vary each time the scenario is played.

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".
