Ray's Request - Donnybrook Ottomans and Donnybrook force offer


Janissary Vets face European cavalry


An Ottoman Wagonburg bristling with menace - Come and get us!


Ray Roussell blames me for his Donnybrook addiction. I know the term lead pusher could have a totally different meaning in the context of selling minis as opposed to playing with them. I am however probably answerable to both descriptions.

At Salute, Ray told me I needed to get the finger out and produce a Donnybrook force for gaming with Ottomans. I'll do that I casually responded. Ray is much bigger than me and its best to agree with him.

I thought about the request and them thought about a couple of variants of such a force might look like.

I finally came up with three frames of force. I also seem to remember at I am typing this that I sent a full Ottoman Donnybrook Faction piece to Clarence for consideration a few months back, now where the heck did I put that?
