FOG Medieval: Crusades Mini Campaign
- Thread starter Rico
- Start date
The knights heavy horse is class.
Until they lose their heads and go off on a mindless pursuit, get flanked or surrounded and ...
The second battle for ACRE has been completed and it ended with a Major Defeat for the Saracens. (52-18%)
This gives the Crusader side both Initiative Points for the next turn.
BATTLE 1: ACRE -- @Nathangun vs @Cargol -- Major Muslim defeat
BATTLE 2: TRIPOLI -- @chiquichops vs @Rico -- Major Muslim Defeat
TURN 4
For Turn 4 the Crusaders have two Initiative Points available and a great chance to secure the Holy Land -- if the Crusaders manage to capture both Damascus and Edessa it'll be scored as an Overwhelming Victory.
Crusaders will attack DAMASCUS from Acre -- I will command that battle.
Second attack will be ALEPPO from Antioch -- @Cargol will take command there.
Sultan @chiquichops -- who will command on the Saracen side?
BATTLE 1: DAMASCUS -- @Rico vs @Nathangun
BATTLE 2: ALEPPO -- @Cargol vs @chiquichops

We're conferring. I'll let you know today, I think.
I'll take Aleppo. No allies. @Cargol will you set it up?
@Nathangun can take Damascus.
I figured it'd be more interesting if we swapped opponents.

Challenge created. I ve picked for both also Allied forces possible, if that's ok with you.
Good luck!
Who knew there's a large lake on the approach to Damascus? 
The battle to defend Aleppo is underway. It's a pretty cagey affair. A little skirmish on the Christian right is all that's on offer so far. I'll post screenshots soon.
Battle for Damascus is in the up-close-and-personal phase ... the map benefitting the Crusaders somewhat as it doesn't give the Saracens much room to maneuver.
DAMASCUS has fallen to a Crusader Major Victory.
It was always going to be a tough fight for @Nathangun -- the cramped map definitely favoured the Crusader side once I charged across the stream with a solid block of spears and crossbows.
The Saracen cavalry had no room to move or deploy properly.
Score now stands at 18 - 8 in favour of the Crusaders.

It's going. Very inconclusive so far
It's getting hot now, there's some clashes along the front too.
The battle for Aleppo is getting close to a finish. The defenders have a points edge still but it'll be a close finish either way.
Evening. Yes, I think so. Good win, you had to be persistent to get that.
Another ignominious defeat for the Saracens!
I think we can call this one... the last turn can't affect the Victory level standings any more -- to achieve an Overwhelming Victory, Crusaders need to capture EDESSA, which isn't possible anymore.
If one side controls both JERUSALEM and DAMASCUS and have a higher score, they win a Major Victory.
So it ends as Major Victory for the Crusaders!
Was a lot of fun @Nathangun @Cargol @chiquichops -- maybe once I'm back from travels and we have Roman Campaign under way, we can refight this one with sides reversed?
