I have completed the draft of the campaign rules and they can be viewed by following the link below
A War Like No Other
Please remember this is still a draft. I am working out a few kinks before I try it on the cut down map I posted earlier.
I have also completed two more army markers: Sultanate of Aleppo and the Principality of Antioch.
As you can see the generic crescent and star that I went with for Aleppo looks better than the Pac Man control marker. I decided to go with the solid red banner for Antioch. I have found a few different versions for Antioch. One shows a red field quartered with the Fleur de Lys in the top right and bottom left. I am not sure when the arms of France were added but it would have had to have been after the male line of Bohemund died out. Another reference I saw claims that the de Hauteville family arms (or a variation) were used. These had a blue field with a bend of red and white lozenges. No book I have every read that speaks directly to Bohemund and the 1st Crusades mentions these last two so I went with the red field.
I hope to add a couple special event markers for the campaign for my next post and maybe a test game of FOG 300 with Early Crusaders versus Syrian States.
