3 Crusader Rex 2.0 Saracen Blocks Manifest with Special Rules
A breakdown of the Saracen blocks by Emirs and Nomads. It notes the special abilities of the Nomads who can Harry as well as which blocks are irreplaceable. This is more of an aid for someone who's not familiar with the game.

3 Deus Vult! (Part 3 of 3) Final additional historical units - Enter the Leper Knights
Final? historical unit variants, Leper Knights of St Lazarus and Saracen siege engineer Harrafish(ah).

3 Assemble the Army! (Part 2 of 3) Additional historical units - Slingers, Sudanese & more
Part 2 historical units to add to the original game to complement the earlier submission of Cilicians etc. I originally toyed with the idea of introducing the Slingers and Ahdath through an event card but lack the skill to design the card. I may revisit this option another time along with possibly a Children's Crusade black block
