But a new power would be great. Remember that to my knowledge no one has taken the Ottomans as an imagi-nation.<br /><br />By the way expect an an update after the 18th.

Besides, given the diversity of troop types within the Turkish Empire the possibilities are endless - even including mercenary Europeans. I think this may have more legs in it for me than Kronenbourg and Artois..........;-)David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-27213499002246436842009-05-11T23:26:00.000-07:002009-05-11T23:26:00.000-07:00Not whimsical at all (unless you field 'Turkish' t...Not whimsical at all (unless you field 'Turkish' troop types from the 'Munchausen' movie - and even then...).<br />So much color, diversity, exoticism, so many different minis to enlist (depite the lamented closure of the London War Room)!<br />There was some scimitar rattling in the 'Emperor vs Elector' Mediterranean Sea, but we are lacking a powerful Eastern country.<br /><br />Glad to see you posting here, Ogrefencer.abdul666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16172686098173637906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1582882317444419527.post-84606893263883411492009-05-11T10:39:00.000-07:002009-05-11T10:39:00.000-07:00I have always had a soft spot for the Ottoman Turk...I have always had a soft spot for the Ottoman Turks and the Moghuls so I shall have to see what I can come up with.
