First Legion
The Crusader state has been long been in a period of decline. The city of Acre stands alone as the last bastion of Crusader power in the Holy Land. Defended by the Military Holy Orders and various allies, Acre has now come under siege by the powerful Mamluk armies lead by Sultan Khalil. A fierce struggle ensues and the result is the final collapse of the Crusader State.
The range will also bring to life the great armies of the Mamluks who dominated the holy land in the 13th Century. From simple soldiers to great siege engines to personalities, First Legion will cover in detail a seldom studied army which was one of the most successful in military history.
