Yaghi Siyan is duly released >and goes to the nearest Ridwan city, Antioch. > >Robert transfers 25 bezants each to Bohemond and Raymond. This is possible >as all forces are together. > >The Ridwans in Antioch (Jared, Yaghi Siyan and 9SPs) are allowed >to retire to Harenc. Robert of Flanders marches into Antioch. I have two alternate sets of orders depending on if Ridwan accepts the agreement as stated above. If the agreement is completed, as defined by Bohemond receives a 25 bezant bribe from Robert of Flanders, the following moves are done.: Bohemond, Tancred, Boel, Alberard, Roger, Herman, Butimides move to Harenc, 4 points of attrition no loss, and set up a siege of the city with Raymond's forces. Any attrition loss wether from movement or siege is paid for from the field treasury. Rainulf, Geoffrey, Richard move to Tripoli and take the city from the Duqaq Syrians. 1Fleet (English), 1Fleet (Genoa) move into Tripoli if I take the city. If not they move to blockade it. Robert holds in Latakia Gerard holds in Famagusta If Bohemond does not receive the 25 bezant bribe from Robert of Flanders then the following moves are done; Bohemond, Tancred, Boel, Alberard, Roger, Herman, Butimides continue to siege Antioch. Any attrition loss wether from movment or siege is paid for from the field treasury. Rainulf, Geoffrey, Richard move to Tripoli and take the city from the Duqaq Syrians. Any attrition is paid for from the field treasury. 1Fleet (English), 1Fleet (Genoa) move into Tripoli if I take the city. If not they move to Tripoli and blockade it. If for some reason I cannot blockade Tripoli and my units would die the English fleet moves to Famagusta and the Genoese fleet moves the Latakia. Robert holds in Latakia Gerard holds in Famagusta *Germans 2405/006 Henry/1T1 2405/002 Peter/1T1 Besiege Edessa 1802/007 Godfrey/5P3 Besiege Gaban 1904/001 Eustace/3S2 1905/002 Conon/1T1 Move 2003 besige Maresh 1506/001 Oshin/0T1 (Armenian) 1506/001 Constantine/0T1 (Armenian) Move into tarsus Lamp/001 Baldwin(Hainault)/2T3 Hold Syca/001 Otto/(1)T1B Hold 1705/001 Warner/1T1 Move into Partipart *Southern Franks Bribery : None -------------------- Movement Orders 1908/011 Raymond(Toulse)/4P3 (2 Treachery) 1908/006 Gaston/1T1 1908/007 Gerard/1T1 1908/005 Isoard/1T1 1908/001 Adhemar/5S4B 1908/006 Frncs-Lmbt/1T2 1908/005 Rambald/1T2 --- 041 A proposed deal for Antioch will let the defenders go in exchange for a hefty bribe. >The Ridwan Syrian bribes Robert of Flanders 75 bezants (from his >field treasuries) to release Yaghi Siyan. Yaghi Siyan is duly released >and goes to the nearest Ridwan city, Antioch. > >Robert transfers 25 bezants each to Bohemond and Raymond. This is possible >as all forces are together. > >The Ridwans in Antioch (Jared, Yaghi Siyan and 9SPs) are allowed >to retire to Harenc. Robert of Flanders marches into Antioch. This deal is acceptable to me, although Ridwan has not agreed to it, as far as I know. Specifically, I agree to let Ridwan's forces and leaders in Antioch depart to Harenc. Whether or not I have received 25 bezants from Robert of Flanders, which is my end of the deal, I lead my entire force including the field treasury to Harenc with intent to siege. Unless Ridwan intercepts me halfway :-) Hexes 1908, 2008, 2108 ------------------------ Defend Orders for Beir/003 Raymond(Forez)/1T1 Beir/003 William/(1)T1B --- 6 SPs --------------------------- Defend orders for Stsy/003 Wm-Hugh/1T1 --------------------------- Patrol Orders for Stsy/002 1Fleet (Flemish) --------------------------- Movement Orders for Fama/002 1Fleet (Pisa) Return to St Symeon hexes 1212, 1211, 1311, 1410, 1510, 1609, 1709, 1808 ---------------------------
