Antioch 1122:

One thing about fighting out in the Levant was the dust and sand. It was every where. It floated in the air. It sat on your horse. It got in between the fittings of your armor. It was omnipresent.

Makedonios looked down a hill and saw a vast sea of sand. And down there was the enemy. The last Fatimid Jihad army in the area was waiting. Two had originally come to Antioch to get to Anatolia. One led by the Caliph himself. And one led by a general. Makedonios had killed the general in the first battle. That army, leaderless, had fled and ran to the boats. It sat out in the sea now, having dropped out of the Jihad.

That just left the Caliph and his army. Mak saw him down there with his army. The Caliph had a ballista, over 40 of his bodyguards, 2 groups of cavalry, and a lot of infantry. Behind and to the right, Mak had set up the army. Four battered infantry regiments protecting four battered archer regiments. With two half-strength regiments of horse archers to support. Makedonios, Armatos, Nathanail, and Iakovos were far off to the left. When the enemy walked towards the far off army, they would present their flank to the Order members.

The Grandmaster looked around with pride. He was honored to yet again lead such men into battle. To his left was Armatos, his second in command. To his right was Iakovos, newly arrived from Adana and fresh for this fight. Farther to the left was Nathanail. Between the four of them, there were around 60 bodyguards. The army walked by, leaving the Caliph and the ballista behind.

"Charge!"

The four members and their men ran down the hill. Armatos charged into the ballista crew. Makedonios and his 18 men charged the Caliph and his 43 men. Horses and men crashed into each other. While the Caliph was kept busy, Iakovos crashed into his flank. Nathanail took on a small group of Arab Cavalry that tried to aid the Caliph. With the artillery crew run off, Armatos crashed into the back of the Caliph's bodyguards. It took multiple charges from the men, but eventually the Caliph's bodyguards fell one by one. Makedonios saw a couple of bodyguards surround the Sultan and kill him.

Meanwhile, his army had been fighting off by itself. Battered and without replacements, the army was not doing well. But with the Sultan, artillery, and cavalry all gone, the Order members could simply charge into the enemy infantry from behind. One by one, the enemy units ran. Makedonios ordered his men to let them run. They would be no further threat. Antioch was once again secured.

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 
The Caliph killed in this battle was SS's Caliph. He was the Sultan and had the "Caliph of Cairo" title. He is not the same Caliph from the story thread. Think of it like the King of Jerusalem or Prince of Antioch. The "Caliph" in the story thread is very much alive. But the Caliph in SS is now dead and there is a new one. I'm sure it will sort itself out. :D

In this battle, Mak got a Heroic Victory, Battle Marker, filled out on chevrons, "Major new victory," "Bent on glory," and "Can tell a tale."
