Impetus Rules - Mohacs 1526, part 9 - Ottoman Light Cavalry in 20mm

 


The Turcoman archers shoot at the Hungarian lines with their own  'Caracole' tactic while protecting the arrival of the Akinjis. In fact the only thing noticeable about this post is the position of the Turcoman archers inside the stands. 


By placing them by side on the stands they can simulate the 'Caracole' with a central stand shooting its arrows and the two others mostly recharging and getting ready to shoot again. 


The figures are all StreletsR and all of them are different which makes the group pretty lively. 


The Akinjis in fact are figures from the Muslim Cavalry box by StreletsR but, with a different painting, stressing red and green, they make reasonable Turkish Akinjis. Most of the horses came from Italeri as the original migrated to the Norman army at Hastings. 

Next: More Turkish for Mohacs 1526 or  Gallipoli 1915.
