The Ottoman forces are on the march again. Screened by light cavalry the army is on the move …
I have really enjoyed Balkan Dave’s book on the wars between Austria, Russia and the Ottoman Empire in the 1730’s . The book is an excellent overview of the armies, the battles and the war. It is full of fascinating characters and incidents and reminds the reader that there was another kind of warfare on the fringes in 18th century Europe and beyond. I have been adding muskets to Minifigs, repainting and rebasing. Using what I have and not buying more figures. Great fun . Mainly Minifigs with a tiny smattering of Dixon .
Will we see these in action soon?

Depends if they encounter any option on their march I guess .

I look forward to seeing the build up to some of this colourful ‘fringe’ warfare in action -

Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteI love the look of this army and the fact that you’ve been able to create it with what you already had in your collection.
I also love the see-through bases!
All the best,
Bob
Thanks Bob. I am pleased with the see through base look too.
