1. INTRODUCTION
We have seen, at the court of the (Mongol) Emperor, the Grand Prince of Russia, the son of the
King of Georgia, many sultans and other princes to hom they pay no respect! and even ordinary
"artars ho have #een sent to escort them, hoever poor they ere, al$ed in front of them and
alays too$ a #etter seat%& .6ean de 7lan Carpin/.
(n the 8(((th century9 the )ongol hurricane swept o&er :urasia and reduced to cinders towns and
empires. :urope and the 1oly ;and underwent their attac<s and 6apan repelled two in&asions. 1ere
is something that merits a %ew scenarios %or 3Croisades59 3-amoura=5 and 3Cry 1a&oc5>

2. TACTICAL COMPOSITION O THE MONGOL ARMY
Fne o% the greatest strengths o% the )ongol *rmy was that a maAority o% the army was made up o% a
power%ul national ca&alry. 1owe&er9 other peoples did %ight %or the )ongols? these auxiliaries were
primarily %oot soldiers.
I,FT:? 3Croisades5 as published proposes using the counters %rom 3-amoura=5 .excluding the
mon<s9 ninAas and peasants/ as )ongols9 but gi&ing all shortbows9 all treated as unarmoured with a
mounted mo&e o% 1@ and a %oot mo&e o% H. The rules below o%%er a better balance and9 in particular9
pro&ide the horse archers that %ormed such a maAor part o% the )ongol armies.J

scimitar and a lance +.5 metres long. )ost hea&y ca&alrymen also carried the )ongol bow .see
below/.
To represent the )ongol hea&y ca&alry9 use the mounted -amurais .%rom 3-amoura=5/ and the
Eoyal )amlu<s .%rom 3Croisades5/. Fnly the -amurais armed with a bow should be treated as
being armed with the )ongol bow.

IEules %or one additional type o% arrow9 the %laming arrow9 are pro&ided in -iege. These rules are an
optional extra9 but should be used sparingly.J The bow9 one o% the oldest missile weapons9 has
undergone many modi%ications o&er the centuries .short bow9 long bow9 compound recur&ed bow9

hunting arrow9 the war arrow9 the cutting arrow9 etc>
The )ongols were a people that <new how to use bows to the best ad&antage9 and they had an
impressi&e number o% types o% arrow a&ailable to them. This game aid concerns two types o% arrow
which can be used as options? the arrow with an explosi&e head and the cutting arrow.
These two types o% arrow can be used alongside normal arrows. During a campaign9 at the start o%
each tactical battle the archers are reGsupplied to their maximum carrying capacity with the di%%erent
types o% arrow? they can ne&er ha&e more than 5 arrows o% each o% each o% these types.
The "rro- -%th "n e(2los%#e he"3
This is only a&ailable to the )ongols who had the secret o% gunpowder than<s to their contacts with
the Chinese. They were certainly used %rom the end o% the 8((th century in the :ast and )iddleG
:astern states.
:ach )ongol archer may carry only 5 o% these arrows. 2hen an archer dies and he still has some
explosi&e arrows9 another archer may pic< them up by remaining %or a %ull turn next to the dead
archer without %ighting or shooting.
-hooting with an explosi&e arrow is only possible during o%%ensi&e %ire. The %use must %irst be lit9
one o% the most dangerous moments %or the archer. The player rolls 1D1$9 and on 1G+ the arrow
explodes and <ills the archer .this happened Duite o%ten/.
(% the arrow has not exploded9 the player designates a target hex and rolls 1D@ to see i% the
explosion has any e%%ect on adAacent hexes around the target. 1 means that only the target hex is
a%%ected9 #G@ means that one adAacent hex9 counting cloc<wise %rom lower le%t9 is also a%%ected .the

2e will ignore the modi%ications to mo&ement allowances proposed in the rules to 3Croisades5. The

IW? There is an error in the scenario as originally published? it states that the map TThe Coast0 %rom
3Ni<ing Eaiders5 should be used in place o% the Nillage o% the 2hite Dragon. The problem is that
The Coast map .,o.1/ does not ha&e a long side numbered T'0 and much less than hal% the map is
land .so it would be impossible %or the )ongols to deploy properly/. The solution proposed seems
the best way to resol&e the problem9 assuming that TThe Coast0 is an errorC the 2D Nillage map has
the same orientation o% numbers as in the diagram9 and it suits the location. 7layers may wish to try
alternati&e map layouts %or the two lower maps.J
