Great looking army - Go Tamerlane!!!

So what you are saying is that you did not send any player characters to the asylum? Is that really a win? :)

Not!… enough!… plastics!… OTTOMANS!!!

What about akıncıs, humbaracıs and başıbozuks? Not included in the wargame?

Amazing looking force!

lovely work!

Great painting as always. I have a 15mm Lithuanian Army and will be adding Ruthenian/Rus subjects and allies as well as Golden Horde allies. This army will represent the army that fought at the Vorskla in 1399. I eventually have to build more Golden Horde troops to be the army that fought them. I have Essex Mongols to use as the Golden Horde. To your knowledge did the Mongols wear the uniform colors described by Marco Polo? This was dark brown trimmed with light blue and blue trimmed with red. Not sure if this is applicable to the Golden Horde.

Great work my friend excellent work on the figures great looking army

A veritable sea of horse flesh. Your enemies will quake in fear. :)

SUperb units, I do like the cavalry and the elephant...Cracking job!

Great Looking Army!

Evening. Just woke up from a nap. Troops look very excellent.

seems like an interesting concept

Hmmm... I've think I've got the same/similar content in pre-7th CoC books... including earlier versions of at least some of these cults. For the cult creation section I'd also highly recommend Silent Legions by Kevin Crawford. It's not for CoC rules but has LOADS of helpful content for creating your own Mythos content.

Great set of rules 2nd is a tad better , but ver 1 is still solid

I, Cthulhu, approve of this use of free will

Evening.

I don't remember that book. Then again, I last played in 2018. :)

Wow, this actually looks awesome, and to be fair I never thought it would contain anything apart from the screen 😮

By the way in the military museum in Istanbul they have several janissary uniforms. And also in Vienna.

Nothing to add. I'll mull everything over a while. Just maybe rules to tie mechanics and the narrative together. Whatever that may mean. :)

They look good. Bases. For gaming on my table, I'm not too worried about the bases 'matching'.

Good score

Good Wednesday morning

The trope I am familiar with is that the Rumelian Spahis were Heavy Cavalry the Anatolian Spahis were Medium Cavalry but it seems more likely they were just tendencies within the army that the Balkans knights were more likely to invest in armor than the Anatolian knights and that they all had lances and bows but the Balkans favored the lance and the Anatolians favored the bow. I cant imagine they would be so interchangeable if they were entirely different classes of troops

Great tips. :)

Thanks for fixing the sound. This is a great resource. I hope to use it one day, wallet permitting.

I think I would put Tatars up the list higher as they are even more flexible for other armies as well.

Sound is much better. Thanks for the presentation wish I would have had this when I started. I bought Janissarys first.

Nice overview, as an outsider to the ottomans sone of terminology is confusing. It would be awesome to get a break down of the army and its organization from a wargaming perspective.

Fantastic place to visit. I remember my Catholic Godfather (now a Redemptorist Priest) and I getting a tour from an English speaking Monk on a visit to “Our Lady of Chesty Cough”. The cannonballs are still embedded in the walls.

Gda 2 actually plays pretty quickly. Onething i really like about it is the command decision element with adcs and also the skirmish mechanic which gives games with a period authentic feel. Also cav are a threat but if you leave them hanging about they can get shot up and then won’t perform. Really like them and it has prompted me to paint up some long neglected 15mm figs for a peninsula campaign.

Great work mate they look good,

Nice work. You’re making good progress. It’s coming together.

I have an Old Glory Army club membership, basically half off, makes blue moon very inexpensive. Let me know if you need me to pick you some up.

Great work. I think for KZbin at least solo games work better, I feel like when I’m actually playing with others I’m too busy playing to actually try and make a cohesive video

I dolike this period...and your fantastic work!

lovely work

They are coming together. Looks good and they do look like a dense formation. :)

Maps, business cards, receipts, handbills, posters, menus, etc. are all good things to make up for players, They really respond to props like these. Mine always did. They are also easy to create. It gives them something immersive to look at instead of tossing dice across the table. :)

Location! Location! Location! :)

Write a script and then keep up the pace!

I'd be interested in hearing about the evolution of the Ottoman army and it's components. I've been painting up some 6mm Ottomans after Baccus6mm updated their range last year, these being for late 17th early 18th century conflicts. But reading up on more readily available sources like Ospreys and what not, information on units seems to be on a nonsensical timescale. For example the Spahi, when these sources describe them they tend to talk about the 15th century, and maybe mention some changes in armour that happen, but then when I look at my Spahi models they are clearly not heavily armoured any more, and the same seems to be true when looking at a book called "Late 18th Century Turkish Cavalry" by Chris Flaherty. But finding information on how these things changed, what caused the changes, how these changes affected tactics etc. seems to be hard to come by. Also how would the Spahi or equivalent from different regions of the Empire differ in equipment and or tactics? I've some scenarios where the author's have listed Kapikula Spahi, European Spahi, and Asian Spahi, could you give some information of where these troops more specifically are from and how would they differ?

Ever hear of Mythic GME? (Game Master Emulator). It allows you to play any RPG solo or with co-GMs. However, I was thinking it would be useful for scenario playtesting before the scenario hits the table. There are several, but I read reviews that says this particular one is highly rated. I'll post table of contents and introduction screen shots in Disco if you are interested.

Troop type proportions for Ottoman armies would be most useful. Sounds like a good idea to review the existing army lists.

nice to see you again :)

Nice to see you back. I leave tomorrow.

I think a 'how to collect for play' would be a real good resource. I see too many video's trying to be too general and cover everything but not really giving enough specific information on what to collect. They speak too loosely because some cultures have too many choices. I'd like to see someone say: get x of Y i.e. specific numbers and unit types. Less confusing this way. They can always add units later once they get a core army finished. Welcome back!

Basing is definitely an opportunity to tell a story about the unit or army, excited to see where you take it
