The board depicts the Middle East from Antioch in the north to Egypt in the south.

Game design by Jerry Taylor and Tom Dalgliesh (Hammer of the Scots).

This version is updated (corrected) to clarify the rules relating to withdrawls during a siege and the swapping of blocks on the attack in a storm.

9 Crusader Rex 2-sided reference sheet
One side has a reduced game map and a full description of a game turn. The other is a counter sheet and shows the different types of unit including which are subject to permanent elimination. Amended 22 July 08 - thanks to speedracer550 for pointing out the error, and apologies to everyone else.

5 Crusader Rex Battleboard
This is similar to some others here, but in the style of the other 2 reference sheets I have uploaded. The four coins which act as a battle turn track are from the period of the crusades. I wish I could have made the castle wall equally authentic!
