The Extension

 

This CRUSADER HARBOR is NOT the official one that we had been waiting for so many years and that never got published. Yet, Duccio Vitale (the designer of the game) was kind enough to share with us the original materials and we were able to reconstruct the maps and make them available in our Shoppe.

To differentiate both versions, I'm now calling this one the Crusader Harbor, while the Eurogames version was designed to be played with Saxons and Vikings counters (hence the name of Saxon Harbor that is used sometimes).
 

The Map

This extension for the MEDIEVAL TOWN was made of 2 standard maps plus 2 smaller maps that overlap the town map in the direction of the Montferrat gate.
The Medieval Town is not mandatory to play with the CRUSADER HARBOR, but the combination forms quite an impressive game surface. However, all scenarios use the naves and galleys of the extension with the same name.
