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.

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!
