Sir Richard employed Turkish Mercenaries. Not a popular move in Cyprus
Sir Conrad Was captured by the Crown Prince
Sir Gilbert hired on more Crossbowmen
Sir Gaston had his nephew made Bishop of Famagusta
Sir Clugney Was also captured by the Crown Prince
Sir Roland Took on a band of Crusading Knights

and two prisoners...
Chance Phase ‑
The top card of the Event deck is drawn and the instructions on it are followed.
Sir Richard Mercenary Cog. The Greatship Salerio of Genoa
Sir Conrad Prisoner. Cannot draw.
Sir Gilbert Additional Crown Card Sir Hugo
Sir Gaston Skirmish, Bloodbath
Sir Clugney Prisoner. Cannot draw.
Sir Roland Free move.
Prince Guillaume Free Move
Movement Phase
Sir Gilbert Moves from Caparso to Nicosia. Gilbert drew the "Royal Uncle" card and I surmised that this was Gilbert himself. he brings his forces to challenge his nephew, or at least prevent him from entering Nicosia before he can cut a deal.
Sir Gaston has married the Widowed Countess of Roland. The new Sir Roland is a little unhappy at losing his patrimony, the castle of Hilarion. A blood feud is declared. Roland uses his free move to arrive outside Hilarion as Gaston is celebrating his nuptials. Awkward...
Incensed Gaston charges out ready for battle...
Scenario A: Bloodbath
Bloodbath is a straightforward fight between opposing retinues.
 |
| Gaston uses a line of bowmen to screen his deployment |
 |
| Roland clumps his men, but those crossbowmen on the flank bear watching |
 |
| Roland's Crossbowmen advance. |
 |
| The first round of shooting from the crossbows is devastating. |
 |
| Roland advances his spear groups |
 |
| The clash... Roland and his new step father go head to head. |
 |
| Roland wins the combat throwing Gaston back |
 |
| The end game. Gaston runs for his life as young Roland wins the day. |
Meanwhile at Nicosia the main battle of the campaign was about to take place...
