Crusades scenario posted

I've just posted the full scenario notes for our Harran 1104 AD Crusades game that will be staged at Fiasco next weekend (Sun 26th) at the Royal Armouries Leeds. We are now all set to go.

Although you can read about the game on the day at the table side, we stopped doing hand outs years ago and now pass out web address slips to anyone wanting the scenario notes. Much more information can be made available this way, and in colour.



I hope you like the look of the game and hope to see you at Leeds. Drop by and say hello if you are passing.

I followed you scenario development on the blog… that's a very interesting scenario, I wish I could watch it being played

The game worked well, drew a fair amount of interest and received more than one complement. Here a a couple of shots just after we set up. As with the test game, it was Tancred who won the day. Initially the Saracens managed to get the Edessans to fall for the feigned retreat (the rule worked very well, see link to scenario) and Jekermish began his sweeping envelopment with his light cavalry. Then they ran out of steam as the sequence cards failed to fall kindly and the Antiochenes swept into Soqmans flank. That, and a quite devastating charge by Joscelin, at the head of his mixed Frank and Armenian heavy cavalry, which swept away most of Jekermish's heavy cavalry in one great rush decided the day.
