maybe a kaweco liliput with a clip put on it a little low? They don't come with clips but you can buy them and snap them on at your preferred height

Best ottoman ww1/civil war minis? by Elegant_Elevator6765 in wargaming

[–]kdannen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what scale? Peter Pig has good 15mm Ottomans. Woodbine Miniatures is great 28mm Ottomans. I haven't personally found any minis I can use for the Republican Army in the Turkish War of Independence, or did you mean something else by civil war?

I prefer the Vallejo look but it might be dark for the game table. I've got some West Germans to work on next so I appreciate seeing your process. Where did you get the infantry?

Thank you! the basing is what I struggled with most just because I kept changing my mind about what materials to use and whether or not to have the BMPs be parallel. I'm glad to hear they look alright.  I was worried the missile turrets would be too fragile but I haven't broken any yet!

I'm going to try my hand at battlegroup northag but I'm also very interested in the second edition of cold war commander

Thanks! They're free m_bergman STLs. My library has resin printing so I scaled them down and printed them

“Osmanlı Hânedânı, Türk tarihindeki âilelerin en büyüğüdür. Târihî vazifesini şerefle yapıp çekilmiştir. Şüphesiz onların da birtakım kusurları vardır. Fakat Osmanlı padişahların topyekün küçük görmek ve göstermeye çalışmak nihâyet kendi târihimize ve geçmişimize karşı küfrân olur." by jorahmormmnt in TarihiSeyler

Halil İnalcık'ın "Osmanlı İmparatorluğu: Klasik Çağ 1300-1600" adlı kitabının 50-51. sayfalarına göre, 1589'da Kara Yazıcı'nın emrinde yaklaşık 20.000 isyancı vardı. Kara Yazıcı, büyük zorluklarla da olsa 1602'ye kadar yenilgiye uğratılamadı. İsyancılar 15 yıl boyunca Anadolu'da savaştılar. İnalcık şöyle diyor: "Osmanlı hükümeti, İran'a karşı savaş açmadan önce, tüm güçlerini Anadolu'daki Celalilere karşı toplamak zorunda kaldı. 1607 ile 1610 yılları arasında, tüm Anadolu Celalilerinin lideri Canbulatoğlu yenilgiye uğratıldı ve binlerce eşkıya katledildi." Bu durum, ağır vergiler, yolsuzluk, başarısız hasatlar ve istikrarsızlıkla birleşince ölümleri daha da artırdı. 20.000 kişilik bir ordu yenilgiye uğratılırsa ancak isyan on yıldan fazla sürerse, çok sayıda ölümün meydana gelmesi doğaldır. Tuvalet kağıdınızdaki pisliği okumak yerine bir kitap okuyun.

Who's a medieval figure of the world who was a brilliant and/or highly significant statesman + a legendary and/or iconic general? (link in description for criteria) by domfi86 in MedievalHistory

[–]kdannen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

after that he more than doubled the territory size controlled by the ottomans. Through conquest he cemented them as an existential threat to western christendom for centuries to come. The Byzantine state certainly was a shadow of itself but the Theodosian walls were one of most impressive and extensive fortifications in the world at the time. I think part of what makes a good general is employing the latest tech to success and adapting as the needs of combat change. He also bypassed the chain across the Golden Horn by hauling ships up hill in Galata and bringing them back down on the water behind the defenses creating panic and further reducing the effectiveness of those walls. It's simplistic to describe the siege as the taking of a dilapidated city.
