Richard the Lionheart is building his forces for the Third Crusade - your men are scattered throughout the forest of mediaeval England, and Prince John's army is tracking you down. On the screen, you will see lettered squares representing your crusaders - to collect a group, you need only move onto the square which they occupy by pressing the cursor keys. You may collet them in any order, but the higher lettered squares represent a greater number of men. To proceed to the Holy Land, you need to leave England via the bottom right hand corner of the screen with at least 450 men - the number you have with you at any time is displayed at the top left. Some groups may at first be surrounded by dense forest, through which you cannot pass. Prince John's army, however, pursue a scorched earth policy, destroying the forest as they home in on you, and you can turn this to your advantage to create a route to your trapped men by using yourself as bait, luring the prince's forces onto the patches of forest which are obstructing you. You must be careful not to attract the prince's forces onto a square occupied by the men you are seeking, as they will be destroyed.
