One Ottoman retinue was just defending the trench the whole time which really changes the dynamic and the other Ottoman retinue arrived only to be slaughtered by arquebus fire from the Spanish. Definitely need some more games with them and to give them a run with the cavalry in a more standard scenario.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-20814243941164290582020-09-04T10:17:12.739-07:002020-09-04T10:17:12.739-07:00Cheers, I am glad you enjoyed it.Cheers, I am glad you enjoyed it.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-73193596572223049832020-09-04T09:18:58.818-07:002020-09-04T09:18:58.818-07:00What an epic spectacle Oli, a visual feast ! were ...What an epic spectacle Oli, a visual feast ! were you happy with the ottoman unit profiles?Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03255875998586936550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-71205171484275907292020-09-04T00:28:08.398-07:002020-09-04T00:28:08.398-07:00Great looking game.Great looking game.commissarmoodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17453787431294606707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-54577079718178093982020-09-03T13:13:47.775-07:002020-09-03T13:13:47.775-07:00Cheers Ronin, yes it was really great to get the O...Cheers Ronin, yes it was really great to get the Ottomans on the table!Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-16918248134056119082020-09-03T13:13:17.742-07:002020-09-03T13:13:17.742-07:00Thanks Chris.

I can use lots of my collection against them as Venetians, Hapsburgs, Hungarians or Knights of St John. At some point I may even do a "what if" scenario where a relief force sent to the Siege of Rhodes from England actually arrives instead of sinking in the bay of Biscay which is what actually happened! Things did get particularly brutal at times between the opposing faiths although there were probably more dealings between the Turks and Christendom then you would imagine.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-74039413004274048252020-09-03T11:50:52.626-07:002020-09-03T11:50:52.626-07:00Great game very fun to read this battle, finally t...Great game very fun to read this battle, finally the army.
