Today I would like to say a few words about this unit, which has been modelled by different manufacturers at different scales.
Maybe you should also learn something about the background of this "flamboyant", but also very criminal unit.

Interesting blog post. I knew they were undisciplined but not to the extent of massacres.

Cool. Thanks for that, Koppi.  I seem to recall Richard Burton was put in charge of a unit of Bashi-Bazouks during the Crimean War. They promptly mutinied on him.


Not sure if that says more about the Bashi-Bazouks or Burton himself. I mean, if he were your commanding officer, why wouldn't you mutiny?  lol
