Put together the Army Rosters and rolled for Commander and Staff  characteristics.

Wanted to play a quality (Ottomans) versus quantity (Local) scenario, with both  forces built using an equal number of points,  and using the same terrain as last time.  Why same terrain?  I want to see if that defensive position can be forced.   The attacking Ottomans do have an advantage as the Locals don’t have as many shot or archaic missile (bow) units as the previous game’s defenders.

However…………

The Ottomans have a real leadership problem.  The dice dictated an Inexperienced Lord that is also Cowardly.  His staff has an Incompetent Physician.  These are a lot of negative DRM modifiers.    On the other hand, he is considered Dashing.  All that means is that he can get into trouble quicker.  This all begs the question, “How did someone like this get command”?  Well, it does happen, and we will see what Bey Osker Boz can do.

On the other hand, or side of the hill, the Local Commander, Taaj el-Burki, has no strengths or weaknesses, but does have a Bad Gunner on his staff.  But, since his force has no artillery, it’s of no consequence.

Here’s a photo of the Army Rosters Sheet.  Before I get started, I’ll have to come up with a name for the “Local” place.  I’ll go over the “Game Modifiers” in my next post.
