Here are some photos of the second game we played last Wednesday afternoon. This was a First Crusade, Lion Rampant Crusader States game, with Garry commanding the Crusaders and Craig and I commanding an all cavalry Seljuk Turk force. We just played the usual Bloodbath scenario but the game was much closer than our Early Mycenaean Chariots Rampant game (see previous post). For a while the Turks managed to contain the Crusaders but were eventually ground down by the Crusaders' superiority in combat. In the end it was a victory for the Crusaders but by a narrow margin.
