2017 Battle Day will recreate the Battle of Arsuf, AD 1191, between Richard the Lionheart and Saladin. The Crusaders were engaged while marching south down the Levant coast towards the fortification at Arsuf, a series of charges and counter-charges ensuing as the Saracen forces attempted to stall the movement of the Crusaders towards their goal. This is an unusual clash between two great captains of history, with very different forces, and the added challenge of simulating an assault upon an army on the march, utilizing your favorite ruleset.
The day will commence with an introduction by Dr. Matt Bennett, former Senior Lecturer at RMA Sandhurst, and well-known author of books and magazine articles on medieval warfare.
