Andy completes the write up of the Crusades mini campaign.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

First off, I must apologise to my fellow gamers, it has taken me far too long to complete this report.<\/em><\/p>\n

Stephen and I continued the Five Battles Campaign from Lion Rampant Version 2. This time we were joined by two other members, joining Stephen with the Ayyubid Egyptians was club treasurer Mark, and joining me with the Frankish Settlers was new member Charlotte.<\/p>\n

To recap the first day, we played three games, with my Pullani (Frankish Settlers) forces winning each battle. I had 3 victories and 23 Glory, Stephen had 3 defeats and -1 Glory. You can read about these games in a previous blog entry here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second day would comprise two more battles, the final battle using double size armies<\/p>\n

When planning these games, we had prepared five warbands with differing points values for the five battles, and had assigned each warband to a battle before the campaign started. Stephen had used his larger warbands in the battles on the first day of the campaign, so would be at a disadvantage in the first game of day two.<\/p>\n

Having won the final battle on day one, I got to choose the first battle on day two; I chose \u201cThe Road\u201d and the die roll resulted in \u201cThe Convoy\u201d scenario with Charlotte and I as the attacker (see part 1<\/a> for the battles that make up the campaign).<\/p>\n

In this scenario the attacker has three convoy tokens that must be conveyed from one corner of the table to the opposite corner. For our game these comprised of a cart, a group of pious monks and a group of civilians. Each token had to be assigned to a unit, although more than one token could be assigned to the same unit. Escorting units were restricted to a maximum move of 6\u201d. The convoy tokens have no effect in the game, other than marking the escorting units.<\/p>\n
