Crusaders v. Saracens again

We repeated the scenario from a few days back with mostly different players.
Saracens: Renfrey, Mark & Mitch.
Crusaders: Mike & Steve.

The Crusaders are on the right with infantry in centre, Seargents on their right, Knights & Turopoles on their left.  The Sarecens have all their cavalry on their right & infnatry on their left.
The Crusaders are advancing witht ehri cavalry while their infantry stand on a ridge. 
On the far flank, the Sergeants attack on the Saracen foot was beaten off in flurry of crap dice. 
In the centre Saracen cavalry tried an attack on the Crusade foot, but failed to break through.
On the near flank half the knights have vahregd forward while half have wheeled right to support their foot while the light cavalry of each side mostly neutralise each other.
On the far flank the Sarecen foot is folowing up the Sergeant's retreat.
In the centre the Saracenn cavary have turend to face the knights.
On the near flank, the Sarcen heavy cavalry is losing the fight v. the knights but their superior  numbers of light cavalry are beginning to take effect. 
The knight's attack on the Saracen centre has been held up by the Saracen cavalry for now, but the Sarcen cavalry is running out of steam.
The Saracen heavy cavalry has now broken, but the knights have lost heavily & harrassed by the Saracen horse archers which have disposed of the Crusader's Turcoples.  
On the other flank the Sergeants have renewed their attack on the Sarcen foot, this time with better dice & inflicting significant casualties, beaking one of the Sarcen foot brigades.

The Saracens have now lost both heavy cavalry brigades & one of two infnatry brif=gades so fail their army morale test.
The Crusader knights are still on the table, but entiring shaken.  The Sergeants have heavy casualties with only one functioning unit left.  But the Crusadee foot has only light casualties & is now the dominant force.
A clear win for the Crusaders.

The Crusaders also won last week, but theSarcens had good plan & arguably only lost through some very lucky Crusader dice at critical points.  This time the Crusaders had the better plan & won decisively.
