Bohemond, Herman and Butimedes move 1908, join siege of Antioch. 4 points of attrition, no loss. Tancred, Boel, Alberard, Humphry and William move 1908, join siege of Antioch. 4 points of attrition, no loss. Ranulf and Robert hold in Latakia. Geoffrey and Gerard move 1809, 1810 and into Latakia. 4 points of attrition, no loss. Roger moves 1606, 1706, 1805. 8 points of attrition, no loss. Richard holds in Famagusta The English fleet holds in Latakia. Since I can't transport anything back into Latakia until winter ends why move back until Feb.? Now let's see if I mess this turn up as bad as last turn. If for some reason I get attrition losses they are paid for from the field treasury for Boh's and Tanc's forces and from the Latakia city treasury for Geoff and Ger. If Roger gets a loss he moves less until he has no loss. After last turn I figured the disclaimers were necessary to cover my own mistakes. *Germans 1806/006 Henry/1T1 1806/003 Peter/1T1 --- Move 1807,1908, besiege Tars/005 Baldwin(Boulogne)/1S4 Tars/003 Rainald/1T2 Tars/001 Baldwin(Bourg)/1T1 --- hold 1504/002 Oshin/0T1 (Armenian) 1504/002 Constantine/0T1 (Armenian) --- move 1404,1405 attack drogo Part/004 Dudo/1T1 hold 1704/001 Eustace/3S2 1704/002 Conon/1T1 --- move to partzepart and enter city 1904/003 Godfrey/5P3 (disrupted) move to patzepart and enter city Lamp/001 Warner/1T1 Lamp/001 Baldwin(Hainault)/2T3 --- hold 1006/001 Otto/(1)T1B move 1107,1207, enter SELUCIA Anways pay for attrition to avoid losses *Southern Franks Its Winter, so everyone stays put ...
