Das Spîel |
|
| CROISADES ist ein
Spiel des französischen Designers Duccio Vitale, das von
Standard Games aus dem Original OUTREMER adaptiert wurde. Im
Gegensatz zu letzterem, das lediglich eine Adaption des CRY
HAVOC-Spielsystems an die Crusader States war,
veröffentlichte Duccio ein viel anspruchsvolleres Spiel, das
heute als Referenz der Serie gilt. Die taktischen Regeln
wurden überarbeitet und erweitert, und das Spiel fügt eine
Kombination aus strategischen, diplomatischen und
Rollenspieldimensionen hinzu.
Box Contents (Croisades):
> 2 full-color
maps, giving a possibility of 10 different terrains;
> 2 sheets of playing pieces
printed in
full color (over 150 different characters);
> A strategic map of
the Middle East;
> A sheet with 480
strategic counters (borders, ships, castles, etc.);
> 1 125-page rule and
scenario booklet;
> 6 playsheets for
the tactical, strategic and role playing games;
> 4 troop layout
sheets;
> 1 notepad of major
and secondary characters;
> 3 dice (2D10 & 1D6). |

The
playing pieces include templars, turcopoles, Kings and
Sultans, mamluks, horse archers, hashishins and much more. No two
characters are alike, each has his own name, costume and
combat values, bringing the period faithfully to life.
Note: A few counters of Sergeants, Halberdiers, Billmen,
Spearmen and Peasants are similar to those of Siege and have
not been displayed here. Kings have been exchanged to match
their arms (lions for Richard). |
