Description: On July 4, 1187, near the village of Hattin, beside Lake Tiberias, the Christian army under Raymond of Tripoli faced Muslim forces, led by Saladin, in deadly clash. The battle was a series of engagements in which Christians tried to make their way into Tiberias. In an all-day battle, the Kingdom of Jerusalem’s army was completely destroyed and only a few Christians managed to escape the battlefield. Game uses Medieval system rules, with classic "I go, you go" mechanics. Cavalry is allowed to perform charges that doubles or triples it's strength, but it needs enough terrain to do so. Muslims have quite a number of horse archers that allows them to carry a number of distance attacks on the enemy. Fatigue of the armies pays important role as well.
