Commands and Colors Medieval Crusades Expansion 1 Board Game Expansion

Fight the defining clashes of the Crusades with Commands and Colors Medieval Crusades Expansion 1. The expansion moves the system into the Middle East and introduces Crusader, Seljuq Turk, Artuqid Turk, Fatimid and Ayyubid forces across 20 historical battle scenarios.

New army blocks, terrain, reference sheets and inspired action rules recreate the distinctive tactics of the period while retaining the command card driven battlefield system of the base game. Players must manage formations, leaders, ranged attacks and momentum as mounted troops and infantry compete for decisive positions.

The scenarios cover battles from Dorylaeum through the campaigns of Saladin, presenting varied armies and historical situations for both sides to command. Asymmetric forces and battlefield layouts reward repeat play, allowing players to exchange armies and test different approaches to each engagement.

This is not a standalone game. Commands and Colors Medieval is required to play.
