The Extension

 

This extension was initially created by Christian Delabos, from the Claymore magazine, and was then published in Vae Victis Nr 7 of March/April 1996. I contributed by adding morale and command rules, as I was working on similar rules at the same period. A few rules have been edited, others have been added, but most of the modifications have dealt with the counters to make them specific.

The Map

Standard size map showing some desertic landscape with a little butte and 3 palm trees. Perfect for knight charges or deployment of massive forces. Note: This map has been slightly edited before going to print (texts, colors).

The counters

   
These counters have been edited from those of VIKINGS, CROISADES and CRY HAVOC. They use the CROISADES format (higher speed for horses, defense armor and direction arrow for horses).
