54mm W.Britains Knights and Saracens, 28mm Muscovites, Ottomans, Tartars, Medieval Spanish & Portuguese, and other armies for the period 1300-1700
Wargame Rules
BLOG BACKGROUND AND WARGAME RULES I have set up this blog for my wargaming interests in the Muscovite-Tartar Wars, Reconquista Wars, the Barbary Coast Pirates, and the early campaigns of the Ottoman Turks and Saracens. Some lesser known crusades will also be covered. Miniatures are mainly 28mm with a growing collection in 54mm. If my photographs serve to encourage others to complete their collections I shall be pleased. I will also be mentioning other sites with interesting collections on the above. Do join the 'Friends' if you like what you see.
I prefer to use my own rules which are kept simple and involve eight-sided dice. These allow for fast results with various types of weaponry. Morale dominates my games.

Tartar raiders on foot
Have just completed another batch of Tartars, this time they are dismounted. I decided to add some of my spare shields to these castings although I will classify them as skirmishers without armour on the wargames table.

Thanks Phil, its a strange casting, quite heavy, from Hinchcliffe. Not expecting anything great from them on the war-games table but having raised 24 mounted horse archers I wanted the Tartars to have something different. They will probably just guard the plunder or man their city walls. Michael
Thanks Willie, under my rules I expect some mounted cossacks to make short work of these fellows, its the Tartar horse archers that may cause problems. Michael
What a colorful and beautiful unit, well done!
