A 6-5 win to the Fatimids followed by a 6-4 win to the Crusaders.  Game 1 had lots of Fatimid shooting to weaken the Crusaders but even then the Crusaders almost stole victory, whereas game 2, a win to the Crusaders, saw the Fatimids barely get a shot off.

6-4 to the Fatimids. Three Crusader knights with attached leaders playing a Leadership Card charged the spearmen on turn 2. Glory would be theirs! Even bought an extra combat dice. First unit with 6 dice gets 3 hits, not enough. Second unit with 5 dice gets NO hits. Third unit with 5 dice gets NO hits.  So, 16 dice for 3 hits.

Two turns later three Crusader generals are fleeing to the rear in an attempt to join two units of medium cavalry sergeants. How embarrassing to be the leader that misses out!

The two units of sergeants charge in crush wounded spearmen and heavy cavalry in glorious charge. Sadly, they did not last.....
