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.

Ottoman Asiatic Sipahi Cavalry

This unit of Ottoman cavalry has just received a complete revamp. New horses and steel lances have been provided, and the basic paintwork has been tidied up as well. These are my own castings and the headdress is based on several early 19th century prints, representing Asiatic sipahi. Whether it was the distinction of an officer, or a particular regional fashion is unclear but it certainly adds to my army, and appears quite different from those adopted by the Silahtar, Janissary, and Solack units.
