Crusaders v. Saracens

 Renfrey's Crusaders v. Chris' Saracens

The Crusaders are on the left.  They have delpyed all their cavalry on their rightwith their foot on a  ridge on their left.  The Saracens have also put their foot ona ridge, but with their cavalry on both flanks.

Both side's advance their right flanks.  the cRusader foot also advance, leaving the ridge to cover the flank of their cavalry.

On the near flank, the Crusader's Turcoman light cavalry are being driven back, theri Seents have smashed through the oppisng cavalry while the Sarcen cavalry are for now holdon theri own v. the knights. 
On the flank the infnatry have engaged each other whle the Sarcen cavary manoeuvre around the Crusader's flank.

On the near flank the Crusader cavalry have smashed the Saracen horse.  The Srgents have reformed but teh Knights are still pursuing.
On the far flank the Crusaer fotot is under pressure as they reploy their second line to counter teh Saracen's flanking manoeuvers. 

Half the Sergeants are driving off the Sarecen light cavalry while the other half are moving on the Saracen foot's flank.  The knights have pursued off the field (but the figs are left on the edge of the table).
Some Saracen foot are moving to protect their comrade's while the Crusader foot hang on, saved from flank attacks by a run of hot dice. 

The Crusader left is beginning to crack despite their hot dice, but the Saracen foot are not so lucky as the Sergeants hit their flank & the Knights finally return to the field.

The Crusader foot have finally ran out dice & broken, but they held up the Saracen right for long enough  & inflicted enough casualties so they don't enough left to face the Crusader cavalry which has destroyed the Saracen left with little loss.  

The Crusaders have lost 2 of 4 divisions while the Saracens have lost 3 of 4.  Both sides failed their Army Morale test at the same time, but as the Crusdaers cavalry have suffered few lossses in defeating the Saracen left & are clearly stonger than the surviving Saracens, they have a Pyhic victory.
