I'm curious which Crusade interested gamers enough to research and influence their choice of army and why? Thanks!

Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe. That's what my Flames of War Americans are modeled after.

I forgot about G. W. Bushs crusade against Islam (still on-going). ;)

Yesthatphil01 Apr 2014 3:41 a.m. PST

It was more about recreating the battles for me so Dorylaeum and Jerusalem (the assault) from the First Crusade and Arsouf from the Third …

I'm doing Lake Peipus so I guess Northern.

Why: Ice Lake…. Duh!

Matt Black01 Apr 2014 8:38 a.m. PST

The Eighth/Ninth for me because of the presence of Edward I (or to be more accurate Prince Edward) and all that.
