This review is from: Swords and Scimitars: Field of Glory The Crusades Army List (Paperback)
This title is a gaming companion for Osprey's Field of Glory wargaming series, featuring army lists, gaming and historical notes, Osprey artwork, and photographs of suitable miniatures. It focuses on the Middle East and the Balkans from the late 11th to the mid 13th Centuries, covering the armies of Byzantium, Fatimid Egypt, Salah al-Din ibn Ayyub's empire, and the Mamluks that replaced it, as well as the Turks, independent Arab states, and of course the barbarian Franj - known to westerners as the Crusaders.
