Ottoman Turks
Army Lists
For our games we use the Pike and Shotte rules from Warlord as they facilitate multi-player games and get us a result in a few hours. While the rules do contain lists for the Ottomans and Poles they appear to be for the mid 17th Century and do not cover all the potential troop types.
Previously we had a group project to build forces for the Italian Wars and we faced a similar situation. What I ended up doing was producing list for each of the major antagonists. I wish I could say this was the product of much scholarly reading and research but in truth it was done by taking existing army lists from previous rules (mainly WRG 2nd Edition Renaissance and Field of Glory Renaissance with a sprinkling of Tercio and DBR) to produce the lists of troop types and ratios. It was then a matter of converting morale, armour values and weaponry to Pike and Shotte. This also included decisions on which if any of the special rules needed to be applied to add the correct flavour.
I did the same for the Ottomans, Poles and Imperial Austrian forces. I have attached copies of the list if anyone is interested.
A brilliant job on your project figures @sirhumphreyrtd all the figures look fantastic.
Thanks, just have to get them on the table now?
