Lions Rampant Crusade game 2

This is the second game from our Crusade themed gameday using the Lions Rampant rules.

As with the first game we had two Warbands on each side and using a standard deck of cards for random activations.

This time the County of Tripoly was joined by Crusaders from Europe facing the Egyptian and Damascus forces.

As i wrote in the previous battle report I really like the Lions Rampant rules


German knight in full tournament attire... Something says me that this is a style they will quickly abandon when they get to feel the heat of the Holy land... But atleast they look good...

Archers getting a good vantage point.







The Germans having just plowed through the Saracen lines are turning around and are preparing to hit the poor spearmen from the other side. The spearmen have just reformed and prepares for the onslaught...




The forces from Damscus are almost shattered and only loosely fragments of their force can be seen here and there on the battlefield.

The Commander of the forces from Damascus are challenging the Crusader commander for a duel.
A duel that he wins. 


The Commander is then charged by some mounted sergeants but didnt react in time to countercharge them and is them ridden down.

The Egyptian forces are still holding together.



Even though some insane bravery on the behalf of the Turcomans on the left flank the heavy knights of the crusading force was to much and the County of Tripoly with their newly arrived Crusaders from Europe tock home the day.

Another excellent game of Lions Rampant.
