I know he's pretty set on Impetus but I'd like to give them a try. Fingers crossed!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-55859712360722412062012-07-30T09:31:42.159-05:002012-07-30T09:31:42.159-05:00I have both a Hungarian army and a Ottoman army.

I am playing with Hail Caesar as it is simplier than FOG and my group is a bunch of older foggies. Half of them are retired, and two more of us are retiring within two years, yet we been gaming since '91.Sheriff Leenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-50385276938210767362012-01-08T20:36:16.885-06:002012-01-08T20:36:16.885-06:00Thanks Pru!

I'm just not sure if I can find an army as colorful as the Ottomans!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-5163974212143453312012-01-08T17:45:33.691-06:002012-01-08T17:45:33.691-06:00Beautifully painted army, and very nice figures!Beautifully painted army, and very nice figures!Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-19699387176378567962011-12-22T19:37:54.353-06:002011-12-22T19:37:54.353-06:00I hope you can visit here one day.

I ...WOW! Talk about first hand research material. <br />I wish I could make a trip to Turkey to see your country's antiquity. The best I can do is paint and play my Ottoman army. You reminded me that I need to paint up some Deli cavalry! <br /><br />Your English is superb, by the way. I'll be following your blog and thanks again for sharing!Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-18273159359744863712011-12-22T16:28:45.304-06:002011-12-22T16:28:45.304-06:00Here it is.

"Deli" is another irregular cavalry unit. "Deli" means crazy or insane. Because they were insanly brave :)<br />As I live in İstanbul-Turkey it is easy to me to find information about Ottoman Army. For eaxmple when I was building Constantinople diorama I went to city walls to plan diorama.Artar İnciduzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451644360014482321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-31041009826512572682011-12-22T15:07:57.656-06:002011-12-22T15:07:57.656-06:00What I knew about the Ottoman Army before I painte...What I knew about the Ottoman Army before I painted this one would have fit in a thimble. Now, my knowledge fits in 2 thimbles!<br /><br />I used the spelling from the Field of Glory rulebook. They've changed the spelling of Akinji to Akinci between Field of Glory and FoG Renaissance so perhaps I should find a better historical source? If you have a good book to recommend on this subject, I'd love to hear about it.

I suspect there is overlap between these two lines. For example, I had to cut the handgunner's muskets down to make them look more "pre-16th century."Montyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094254709103687259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227525544754109991.post-163948254092271732011-10-08T08:14:40.488-05:002011-10-08T08:14:40.488-05:00Are these from OG's most recent Renaissance ra...Are these from OG's most recent Renaissance range?
