KOH2 Seljuks vs Ayyubids

Next up, it's the Light Horse laden Seljuk Turks vs the Cavalry heavy Ayyubids. Defending General Amy would take command of the Seljuks & I the Ayyubids. The Seljuk plan was to have two flanks of three Light Horse, while the centre had the rest of the force. An Auxilia element was giving Camp Guard duty. The Ayyubid setup had a flank of Cavalry while the other would be Light Horse. The other troops would form the centre.
