Crusades! Second of 2 !Here we see the Knightly duo smug in their position as takers of other's property. The Syrians and Turks will just have to see about that! Bring it on Boys! Stout walls and boilin' oil await!
Antioch is filled with Saracen soldiers and the coastal towns are ready, manned to the max with the Turkish team.
Suddenly it all seems to soon nearly over as the chain clad clunkers smash their way through the defenders walls. Wait a minute! Weren't there supposed to be land battles? What the?!? There's barely been a siege and suddenly ...BOING!
Jerusalem's taken by treachery! D'oh! Not even a rock tossed down on the Christian crumbs! Didn't anyone bother to spit?!? Evidently not! One die roll and the whole dang thing is over. The Syrian fink flees with one measly army point and Jerusalem is now in Crusader hands along with the One True Cross! Well! There goes the game! Remember that pic of flames and siege towers and epic chaos and everything up above? Nope. Not in this scenario. Just a quick exit by Iscariot with his thirty pieces of silver and it's all over but the looting. Nice. At least things can't get much worse, right?
HA! Evidently that's a double laugher 'cause guess what? Here's the cross and chalice guys sittin' in Damascus! Not even ever an historical reality! Huh wha!!?!?!?!? Another simple die roll and the big town goes down. At least here there was the semblance of a fight. Some minor defense no matter how weak! I'll say this for the Syrians, they didn't just get up and clear out like the Turks did twice. Discretion was the better part of valor for them though as they needed every man they could get for their unsuccessful siege of Antioch!
Here's the winner taking a deep breath before his glorius Deus Vult wahoo! Nice going "E". Our heads were handed to us in style!
The big loser? Li'l ol' Blame Game! Here we see his half grinned puss swallowing defeat yet again! Crown of Jughead for you buster! That'll teach ya' tah invite Europeans over for a friendly contest!
And now ...the "Sophisticate's Analyasis"!
The "Sophisticate "sez:
Truly a flawed meeting! East had slim to none chance against the West especially given the formers inability to roll bupkiss on the random events table but plague and chaos! The invaders had it nearly all their way with ships aplenty to insure mobility that the lack luster wits of the Islamic duo could not counter. If only a fifth player had been present in the form of Egypt there surely might have been more fight in the Moslems. A pity! My recommendation? Try this one again! Laffs aplenty and with seven players and a referee (as was originally intended) this game would be tip top!

Hey! What about part one? Was this where we marched thru Anatolia? Cause that was, like, my favorite part. That and bribing Armenians.
