I'm not complaining, they deserve to dominate. If only the Emperor of Constantinople had hired English mercenaries! But I do think an Ottoman player should have a horde to throw away in any wargame.

Next time I take on Richard's Burgundians I am going to take all the poor grade stuff and hurl it at his pike/longbow blocks...and then send in the good stuff.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12778030858712526137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000607646504186151.post-6331543685275370502015-04-26T14:46:01.355-07:002015-04-26T14:46:01.355-07:00John, great to see some of your collection in use....John, great to see some of your collection in use. For what its worth, my Ottomans only win by weight of numbers. I try to allow my Janissaries to have field fortifications to fire from. The light horse and azabs always run off the table. Would be interesting to see how hordes of skirmish horse archers do, hence my new Tarters.
