The Crusader's Campaign of 1183

Saladin begins his campaign of 1183 much like the previous year. The Crusaders can gather an army in a well supplied position and basically wait it out until he runs out of supplies. But they can't really do this in the open desert around Kerak which is ideal for Saladin's cavalry archers. He makes one last attempt to conquer it which fails but this ends with a general treaty among all the Muslim princes who now agree to contribute to the Holy War. By 1187 Saladin's able to gather the largest army that he's ever commanded.
