Hi, The raw orders for the Aug II 1098 turn follow. The Random Events will be along in a later die roll email... *Fatimid Caliphate 1) Iftikhar 14sp's [1623] - 1524 - prepar to siege Ascalon = 1 MP & 1AP 2) Emir #2 11sp's [1424] - Retreat to Jaffa 3) Emir #1 10sp's [Acre] Hold 4) Al-Afdal 16 sp's [Acre] Hold If Ramlah is besieged force will withdraw to Jaffa with treasury *Syrians - Ridwan There is a mistake in last turn. Jarah only moved outside of Homs with 17 SP's and stacked with the 3 outside the city for a total of 20 SP's with 8 left in Homs. Bribes Transfer all bezants Harenc to Hamah. Bribe Constantine 20 Bezants with Hamah. Movement 1. Constantine 6 SP's (2407) - Aleppo (drop off 5 SP's) - 2407 - 2308 - 2208 - 2108 Terms: Accept no terms in any sieges. Use any available treasury to offset attrition/siege losses when possible. *Syrians - Duqaq 1) If permitted by the Fatimids AND if they can take the Ascalon treasury (34 Bezants) with them, the 3 SPs in Ascalon will leave Ascalon if the Fatimids allow safe passage to Hebron. If neither of those cases are satisfied the 3 SPs will remain in and defend Ascalon. 2) Duqaq with 26 SPs moves from Jerusalem to 1823, 1723, 1623. If any Fatimids are present in 1623, they must either retreat to Jaffa or do battle with Duqaq and his 26 SPs. 3) Rules permitting, Soqman and his 5 SPs in 1623 continue the seige of Ramlah. If not permitted to continue the seige due to the presence of Fatimid forces in 1623, Soqman will join with Duqaq in driving the Fatimids from 1623. 4) Ilgahzi and 10 SPs and a field treasury of 10 Bezants moves from 1722 into Jerusalem via 1822, 1923, 1823. 5) Toghetkin enters Nablus with 5 SPs and leaves the 5 SPs to defend Nablus. Toghetkin then rejoins the 16 SPs outside Nablus. Rules permitting, Toghetkin will mive with those 16 SPs into Tiberius via 1821, 1820, 1819. 6) If released by the Fatimids, the Emir of Tripoli moves to Tiberius. *Mosul Turks Balduk - 3SP - MOVE 0801 / 0802 / 0803 7 Attrition - no losses Just read the rules and think that it would be best if I slightly alter Balduk's move. I will have him stop at hex +ACM- 0802. That should work out a bit better for the little guy. Kerbogha - 32SP - DEFEND - Will not avoid Combat Hasan - 24SP - DEFEND - Will avoid Combat All others Defend Treachery to Kerbogha *Northern Franks and Normans Password: lecture *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 Clrmbald Order:Move Tyre/006 Hugh(Vmdos)/4S2 Tyre/003 Caro/1T1 Tyre/001 Drogo/1T1 --- 10 Hexes:=1618,1718,1717,Sido=4MPs APs=3x1=3, 0SP loss Order: Move Sido/001 Ivo/1T1 Hexes:=1717,1815=3MPs APs=2x1=2, 0SP loss Order:Move 0703/001 William/1T1 Hexes:=0602,0503=2MPs APs=2x3+2=8, 0SP loss Order:Move Phil/001 Clrmbald/1T1 (captured Yaghi-Siyan/1T2, Ridwan Syrian) Hexes:=0101,0201,0302,0402,0503=5MPs APs=2x2+3x3=10, 1SP loss (but paid for, see above) Join with William *SIEGE PHASE No orders *Sicilian Normans Trip/002 Richard/1T2 Hold 1908/002 Bohemond/6P4 (1 treachery point) 1908/001 Herman/1T1 1908/004 Rainulf/1T2 1908/004 Geoffrey/1T2 1908/002 Robert/1T1 1908/001 Boel/1T2 1908/004 Butimides/2T2 (Byzantine), all these troops retreat to Latakia and enter the city as the broken siege rules require me to leave the Antioch hex. Lata/001 Tancred/5S4 Hold Lata/002 1Fleet (English) Lata/002 1Fleet (Genoa) Fama/001 Alberard/1T1 Hold Stsy/001 Oshin/0T1 (Armenian) Hold All attrition is paid for from availible field or city treasuries. P.S. I am about to demand a rematch as after looking at my performance in this game, I have butchered it up pretty badly. Also I have rarely seen a collection of random events this bad for one side versus the other, thanks again Rich. The troops appearing in Antioch was the last straw for me. Of course the amazing number of "leader falls ill" for the Franks was much worse but my Sicilian safety and personal hygeine training films were much better than their's so I escaped that problem. I'll have to loan them out next game. In summary, I'm up for another game once this one is done if people are interested and Alan is willing. *Germans 2307/004 Henry/1T1 2307/001 Peter/1T1 --- 5 Move: 2206 enter Ravendah 2207/001 Eustace/4S2 (1 treachery point) move: 2206 enter Ravendah Part/001 Warner/1T1 hold Tars/001 Baldwin(Hainault)/2T3 hold Icon/001 Otto/(1)T1B hold *Southern Franks empty field treasury #2 into #1 (Raymond keeps all the cash) create field treasury #3 with Frncs-Lmbrt, and store 9 bezants from Hama ----------------------------- Movement Orders, with intent to siege 2008/009 Raymond(Toulse)/5P3 (3 Treachery points) 2008/006 Gaston/1T1 2008/007 Gerard/1T1 2008/004 Isoard/1T1 --- 26 hexes entered 2108 ---------------------------- Movement Orders Hama/003 Frncs-Lmbt/1T2 Hexes Entered 2111, 2110, 2009, 2008 8 attrition points, no loss --------------------------- Defend Beir/003 William/(1)T1B --------------------------- Patrol Beir/002 1Fleet (Flemish) Beir/002 1Fleet (Pisa)
