Hi,

The raw orders for the January 1098 turn follow. The
Random Events will be along in a following die roll
email...

*Fatimid Caliphate

Everybody hunkers down for the winter and defends.

Treachery: To Al-Afdal
Assassination: Leader of the infidels beseiging Antioch
Reinforcements: To Gaza

*Syrians - Ridwan

Looked at things last night but just remembered the bit about force
size in castles.  I *think* Hamah can fit into Harenc but the rules on that
must be on the mapboard because I don't see them in the rules.  If he can't
not, move him (2208) - 2307 - 2407 - Aleppo instead.  Thanks!

Treachery (#5) - To Ridwan leader
Reinforcemnts (#1) - Harenc
Assassination (#13) - Raymond of Toulouse w/Hamah leader
