Almoravid: Reconquista and Riposte in Spain, 1085-1086
Al-Andalus, 1085
Almoravid, Volume II in Volko Ruhnke's Levy & Campaign Series, takes us from Russia’s frozen northeast frontier to medieval Europe’s opposite corner - Spain.
The western jewel of Islam had broken into pieces. Alfonso VI, Christian king of a unified León and Castilla, mustered a great feudal host to rip out the heart of Muslim Spain. But Alfonso would find there was fight left in al-Andalus as they sought aid from northern Africa.
- Base rules show the muster of lords, their levy of forces and capabilities, and their command of armies on campaign across 11th-Century Spain.
- Armies enjoy good Roman roads and gentler seasons but must contend against Moorish fortifications.
- Taifa politics and Parias tribute will guide your military strategy.
- African troops, bloodthirsty crusaders, the avaricious Cid—may or may not make their appearance.
