A wargamers' guide to the Crusades

This was a book I purchased in April 1984 for $7.95 from Mary Martins in Adelaide.  I have now finished reading it.  I hasten to add I really only started to read it when Richard and I started playing Kingdom of Heaven.

I also have the WRG book Armies and Enemies of the Crusades 1096-1291 which is also by Ian Heath.  Both are more reference books than narratives, although both do a good job of covering the events and conditions of the Crusades.  They certainly hit the wargaming mark and my next job is the have a game of Basic Impetus 2.0 using my figures.  It will be Later Crusaders versus Seljuk Turks.

A future project maybe to do something using the Pyrrhic Campaign mechanics.  Hopefully sooner than in 40 years time!

Only other observation is I wish I still had the SPI Strategy and Tactics magazine game on the Crusades.
