In this episode, Clay dives deep into Almoravid, the second entry in Volko Ruhnke’s celebrated Levy & Campaign series from GMT Games. Set in the gritty landscape of 11th-century Iberia during the Spanish Reconquista, Almoravid is a game of feudal logistics, political tension, and brutal siege warfare.

We unpack the game’s most compelling systems:
How you command lords—not armies—and what it means to manage medieval loyalty
The dual-role of El Cid, the legendary knight who might fight for either side
The tactical weight behind every card, siege attempt, and ravage action
Why Almoravid isn’t just a game—it’s a historical narrative waiting to unfold

Whether you're a veteran of Nevsky or just curious about asymmetric wargames, this episode will guide you through what makes Almoravid a must-play for fans of immersive, strategy-heavy tabletop experiences.
