Crusade: The Third Crusade
Scenario Briefing: Variant - In this variant, the Crusaders will fight a very similar battle as seen in the previous scenario. The biggest difference will be that Frederick Barbarossa did in fact drown in southern Anatolia and will not be available to fight for the recapture of Jerusalem. The victory conditions have been adjusted as have many of the unit placements.
Background information as described in the previous scenario: During the actual events of the Third Crusade, King Richard, the Lion Heart of England, was unable to muster the resources needed to lay siege to Jerusalem. And it was his strategic thinking that reasoned that even if he was able to retake the Holy City, it would be unable to withstand a Muslim counterattack after his departure from the Levant. Which was inevitable given the developing situation at home in England. Remember, if a gate can be opened from the inside, then the Crusader cavalry will have a chance to pass through the gates and slaughter all the remaining defenders. You will even find civilians inside the city. How you treat them will be up to your own moral code.
Recommended Rules: [Default]
Intended to be played as the Crusader Alliance against the Anti Crusader Alliance AI and can be played Head-to-Head (PBEM).
Suggested Reading: Asbridge, Thomas, The Crusades: The Authoritative History of the War for the Holy Land.
