Swords and Scimitars
This title is a gaming companion for Osprey's Field of Glory wargaming series, featuring army lists, gaming and historical notes, Osprey artwork, and photographs of suitable miniatures. It focuses on the Middle East and the Balkans from the late 11th to the mid 13th Centuries, covering the armies of Byzantium, Fatimid Egypt, Salah al-Din ibn Ayyub's empire, and the Mamluks that replaced it, as well as the Turks, independent Arab states, and of course the barbarian Franj - known to westerners as the Crusaders.

Well Done
While not my favorite period, like all the other supplements to the Fields of Glory series by Osprey, it is well done and includes information from their books series (Elite) throughout. Designed for a 4' by 6' battle area and 15mm to 28mm figures. If you like the Crusades, get it.
