Balkan adventures

[trev]

These are excellent.  Always good to see some Balkan irregularity.

Attention thieves, kleftes and Greeks! "Baba" Yusuf's section of rediff infantry is in town and will most certainly put an end to civil disturbances if appropriately rewarded and stop all criminal activities in which is not involved! For the glory of ther Padiscià, our glorious soldiers will safeguard the citizens who pays for protection and almost never harass women and get mighty drunk!
 
In the following pictures, the complete section; Mustafà, Kemal and Ataturk run in support of "Baba" Yusuf in action; the Albanian, Kurdisgi and Tuz Okcian strike an heroic pose in a clearly staged photography somewhere in the hills.

Love your work on these villainous valiant fellows 

[valerio81]

Thanks! The Sultan is also pissed proud!

[Hang Tuah]

Hot damn! Those came out great. Gotta say I'm pretty impressed with your sculpting.

[valerio81]

Many thanks Hang Tuah, it was actually fairly basic stuff, easir to do than it seems.

[Lord Raglan]

Nicely done sir

[valerio81]

Thank you Effendi.

The glorious Army of Tessaly, under the invictus Prince Kostantinos, is advancing in the Vardar valey liberating that sacred Greek soil! The army is now close to the border with the Sanjac of Kurşıkkülu, whic is unfortunately one of the most backward and poor and savage Sanjak in the corpse of the Ottoman empire...but is still Hellenic land to be redeemed!

In the picture, a half section led by corporal Apostolos Spyridonis in front of a village they just liberated

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Great idea and beautifully done! Looking forward to seeing more...

[trev]

Great figures.  Looks like there will be some cheap fixer-upper property in the sanjak, which has recently become unexpectedly available.  😱

Finally I got around to work on this Balkan job again... a game set for early January, using Fistful of Lead, and still quite a lot of stuff to do! At least "Efe" Abdulhamid and his fellow zeybeks are ready to roll, steal and even worse on the hillside above the village of Caycoy, in the unlucky sanjak of Yanya!

[flatpack]

Good luck with the game.
We love playing FFOL.

Chaps, love the figures . Let's not forget this was the precursor to the wars of ethnic cleansing in the  Balkans. I have no personal "skin in  the game" re this period but as with many, there is a lot of stuff lurking below the surface.... 

[valerio81]

Indeed there is, and I strongly wish to keep it there... none of the players have no skin too, and I just want it to remain a light-hearted fun series of games. For the same reason I usually refrain from playing scenarios too close to today - just makes me too unconfortable.
