Hi, The raw orders for the Jul II 1098 turn follow. The Random Events will be along in a later die roll email... *Fatimid Caliphate All sp's to defend Duqaq's forces considered hostile due to continuing internal civil strife 1) Iftikhar 15sp's [1622] - 1621 - 1722 = 2 MP's 2) Emir #2 14sp's [1524] - Full Siege Ascalon 3) Emir #1 10sp's [1619] - Partial Siege Acre 4) Al-Afdal 20 sp's [1621] - 1620 - 1619 - 1618 = 3 MP's & 3 AP's prepare to siege Tyre. As an adendum to my orders....if the Duqaq Syrians wish to leave Ascalon they may go *Syrians - Ridwan You might check but I think the two Northern Franks Hugh's might be mixed up on the summary. Bribes: Transfer Edessa treasury to Hamah. Bribe both Oshin and Constantine with 10 bezants from Hamah. Movement: 1. Hamah, 16 SP's (Edessa) - 2505 - 2506 - River - 2406 - 2407 - Aleppo **Do not avoid combat and attack any Germans in particular 2. Oshin (St. Symeon) - 1808 - River - 1909 - 1910 - 1810 3. Jarah, 24 SP's (2111) - River - 2112 - 2212 - River - 2213 (Drop off 5 SP's outside of City so that Jarah and force will not exceed maximum. If through RE, reinforcements are called for in Homs, adjust amount of SP's left outside of city so that at least Jarah enters the city to bring the garrison up to the 25SP maximum.) - Homs 4. Constantine (2107) - 2206 - 2306 - River - 2405 - 2505 (Stack w/5 SP's in hex) Terms: Accept no terms in any sieges. Use any available treasury to offset attrition/siege losses when possible. *Syrians - Duqaq Movement/Possible Combat Soqman, 5 SP, 15 bezants @ 1619 -> 1720, 1820, 1821, 1822, 1723, 1623 (15 APs). Soqman spends 5 bezants of his field treasury purchasing supplies enroute to avoid a one SP attrition loss. Ngahzi, 5SP @ Hebron -> 1725, 1724, 1823, Jerusalem. Hebron's treusury (8 bezants) remains under lock and key in the city's coffers. Duqaq, 25 SP @ Jerusalem -> 1823, 1724, 1725, 1624, 1524 (10 APs). Duqaq takes 25 bezants from the Jerusalem treasury as a field treasury spending 5 bezants enroute to avoid a one SP attrition loss. If permitted, the 5 SPs in Ascalon will join in battle against Emir #2's Fatamid force besieging Ascalon. The Emir is advised to avoid battle and vacate the area. All other Duqaq Syrians defend. Fer-Mendzin Grand Vizier, Duqaq Syrians If not too late, I would like to clarify that Soqman, et al, will attempt to take Ramlah. *Mosul Turks NMR *Northern Franks and Normans Password: turkey *PRIOR TO THE TURN -alliances are formed/dissolved[PGM3.3] No orders -assignment of Butimedes[22.13] No orders *BRIBERY PHASE No bribes *MOVEMENT PHASE Forces in cities defend Any movement attrition paid for by Hugh Order:Move Phil/001 William/1T1 Hexes:=0101,0201,0301=3MPs APs=3x2=8, 0SP loss Order:Move 0401/001 Clrmbald/1T1 (captured Yaghi-Siyan/1T2, Ridwan Syrian) Hexes:=0301=1MPs APs=2, 0SP loss Join with William Order:Move with intent to siege Sido/006 Hugh(Pol)/3S2 Sido/003 Caro/1T1 Sido/003 Guerin/1T1 Sido/003 Aubrey/1T1 Sido/004 Walter/1T2 Sido/002 Drogo/1T1 Sido/002 Ivo/1T1 --- 23 Hexes:=1717,1718,1618=4MPs APs=3x1=3, 0SP loss *SIEGE PHASE No orders *Sicilian Normans Trip/002 Richard/1T2 Hold 2111/002 Bohemond/6P4 (1 treachery point) 2111/001 Herman/1T1 2111/004 Rainulf/1T2 2111/004 Geoffrey/1T2 2111/002 Robert/1T1 2111/001 Boel/1T2 2111/004 Butimides/2T2 (Byzantine) All move from 2111 to Antioch, I don't have a map with me, only the campaign map from the Grognards site, so I can't give you a hex by hex move. Go directly to Antioch and pay the attrition cost from the field treasury. Set up siege, 1/2 siege, ie full defensive strength against an outside attack. If there is a force outside the city, attack it with impunity. I have developed the Crusading furvor of late. Lata/001 Tancred/5S4 Lata/002 1Fleet (English) Lata/002 1Fleet (Genoa) All Hold Fama/001 Alberard/1T1 Holds.
