The Crusade Mid-Eastern Battles I expansion for Commands & Colours Medieval focuses on some of the major engagements of earlier Crusader history. In this first Crusade expansion are 16 Crusader scenarios and all the additional unit blocks you need to fight out these battles. New units include: Crossbow Infantry, Foot Knight Infantry, Turcopole Light Bow Cavalry, Heavy Knight Cavalry, and Heavy Military Order Knight Cavalry.

The Crusade expansion introduces many new game concepts: Impetuous Pursuit, Feigned Flight, Shower Shooting, and Charging Cavalry ability to pass through friendly stationary infantry units, all of which add historical depth and flavor. Still many game mechanics remain constant, like the deck of Medieval Command cards that drive movement while creating a “fog of war” and the battle dice used to resolve combat. There are also new and updated Inspired Actions for both the Crusader and Mid-Eastern armies.

The stylized battlefield scenario maps still emphasize the important terrain features and highlight the historical deployment of forces in scale with the game system. Like the Medieval core game, the scale of the Crusade expansion is flexible and can vary from battle to battle. Yet to gain victory, the tactics you need to execute conform to the advantages and limitations inherent to the various Crusader and Mid-Eastern army units, their weapons, terrain, and the history.
