Saladin Sallies

I decided to start a Crusader-themed campaign for Dominion of.

Saladin sallies across the border into the Crusader States. His army (blue) consists of 2 units of Mameluks (elite horse archers), a unit of Turkoman horse archers, foot archers, and spears.

The Crusaders defend with crossbows (in the town), 2 units of knights, and 3 spears.

In the initial attack (not pictured because for some reason blogger is not uploading it), the Crusaders lose some knights and spears. Knights and spears fill in the gaps.

The reserve knights charge the Turkoman horse archers. A rain of arrows wipes them out.

Some of the Mameluks recklessly charge the town. The crossbowmen shoot them down. But Saladin's archers take out the spears on the right.

This opens up the Crusader flank. The archers hit the center spears.

The Crusader crossbowmen are bottled up in the town. Game over, Saladin has won. But for the sake of narrartive.

Saladin's forces prepare to storm the town.

What happens next? Stay tuned!
