| Renaud de Chatillon famously attacked a caravan supposedly carrying Saladin's sister as you can imagine this didn't go down well. |
 |
| The rich caravan would make tempting pickings. |
 |
| You can just about make out Gerard de Ridefort (Renaud's old pal) behind the priest who would no doubt be advising Gods will in this type of scenario. |
 |
| Travelling in these caravans gave a bit of safety in numbers. |
 |
| Especially if you had a rich emir with some of his retinue travelling with you. |
 |
| Now I can guess the sinking feeling as you see as dust cloud gather in the distance. |
 |
| You cant cross over just anyone's land if you haven't paid the toll. |
 |
| oblivious they carry on. |
 |
| These sort of raids were very common during the Crusades. |
 |
| The templars would have been involved at various times. |
 |
| A few cross bow to accompany the Knights. |
 |
| Fight or flight. |
 |
| Common-sense means flight. |
 |
| And he's not the only one. |
 |
| These raids could be brutal. |
 |
| But some would stand their ground. |
 |
| The spoils of war. |
 |
| Back to the stronghold to divide the goodies. |
 |
| I'm very pleased I can now leave this set up out. |
 |
| I can feel a reived interest in the Crusades coming on. |
 |
| Still a way to go with this collection. |
 |
| The full set up is 4000x1500mm so a decent size to game on. |
 |
I'm picking up my siege of Malta scenery tomorrow from Dave at TM terrain. Dave has stored this for me for a year now when I was doing the renovation looking forward to showing it off during the Christmas holidays.
Best wishes
