Rampant Crusading

Table E at DWG try out Lion Rampant for Crusaders.  On the side of Murderous Christendom, Lord Quilp of Belmont, Earl Quincy of Prebends, the Laird Shraner o'the Glens and Odious de Phallus, Baby eating Bishop of Bath and Wells.
The Forces of Sultan Salad-McTurk, Emir of Sacriston, included the Amir Al Alanus, and the desert widsom of Jihadi Jim.
Christendom used their own armies 4 x 18 points, The Saracen used Al Alanus' Andalusians (and very nice they are)

My apologies for the focus on the right flank.  My Norman's against Al Alanus' Moors was a great sub game and took all of my focus...

The Bishop advances waving his club aloft

The Saracen watch my advance unimpressed

Off to a running start for the Norman's.  It wouldn't last.

Beside  the Normans the Lord Quilps rough fellows advance in support.

Could Lord Quilp actually see his troops or dice?

The Normans capture the oasis.  In the absence of a hill it was my best option.  Lessons learned from 5th Edition WRG Ancients rules, capture the real estate.

The Wisdom of the Desert points out "You can't do that," as the Sultan prepares to slap his own head in frustration.  A classic photo, but I was trying to take a picture of the figures on that side of the table not the players!

Lord Quilp fights well in the centre, his knights to the rear until they lost it!

The Bishop charges wildly, killing an enemy cavalry unit.

Fighting with a club?

As the game nears it's it's conclusion the Bishop is isolated and surrounded. 

In the centre Earl Quincy and Lord Quilp push the Saracen back.

The end of the Bishop?  Well probably.  When the game ended he was seen to be running amok with fewer and fewer men.  The wooden club was effective but alas his tactics not so much.

And my apologies to the far left flank where the battle raged on between the Sultan, who hadn't played these rules before, and the Laird o' the Glens.  I didn't get any pictures of the action over there, mainly because of my focus on the mad Bishop.  Really enjoyed my game, thanks guys...  Back to Cyprus for me though.
