The Ottomans are coming update

 As I mentioned, I had to leave the recent game early.  Steve and Phil carried on and Steve kindly sent me some more photos.

The Ottoman right continued its push into the village


The soldatski units push back against the tufecki, but the janissaries are waiting to advance.

To the left the Azab attack has been stopped by the Polish infantry


The Poles have also committed their reserve in the form of the Polish Hussars.


They have already destroyed one Azab warband and are now attacking a unit of Sipahi. In the foreground a unit of pancerni is attacking another Azab warband.


Both melees were successful, but off camera two units of Sipahi of the Porte are uncommitted; will they intervene?

  1. This battle looks terrific. One of my favourite theatres to recreate.

  3. Yes it worked really well. We enjoy the mix of troop types and the fluid nature of the cavalry battles.

  4. A wonderful looking game with really attractive troops on both sides. It's a shame that you had to leave early, but these additional photos and those on Phil's blog provide the tale of the ending.
    Best wishes, James
