No worries LLE... I think it works just fine. No need for it to be some anonymous Ranger.

Yes. I believe they were the first army to do so, though they eventually lost the 'arms' race to the European powers by not upgrading fast enough.LLE said:
I also believe that they lacked uniform training for them, so they may be able to field them, but not as a concerted effort with continous fire for instance

EJ, didn't LD post it would take hours efore those siege guns where n position?
Moving a ton of metal from siege work and then through the army should take time

yup... he sure did... but then again assaulting us takes a lot of time as well. Each wave wouldn't just advance clash a little bit and run after 5 minutes. Not too mention the time it takes to marchup the hill to get to us. Dunno. I'll see what LD says and I'll remove that bit if it doesn't work.
Plus now there are two waves of fallen turks on the slope to contend with, in a mid afternoon sun and ocean humidity.
I was curious about the muskettes because one source I have indicates that the Janissary adopted them around 1440. They sound like a blunderbuss (bell end, highly ornamental, each one custom) to me though, which would trade range for power. One shot into just before the charge, then all melee.
Figure thirty minutes between the Azebs and the closing of range of the Jans?

Hmm, that would be extreme range for a siege gun of the period. Would mean overloading the barrels.... True?

EJ, surely, but RJ didn't order the guns moved until after the first wave, and setting up such beast required a day in the siege wokrs at best... this is not siege works, but stil, it takes alot of pushind shoving, not to mention earthworks to get them angling up the hill instead of into it

LLE I hope I didn't get to catch any corsairs in the enfilade :evil:
RJ did order the Turksih Corsairs to be living shileds to the Jans, so they wil now first hand who whistled

Post up. Possible hooks for Vald and RW, or anyone in the muskets up for making fun of a fat frenchman.
Okay I made minor adjustment to my post to reflect the movement of the guns and not some much the placement of the guns being ready to fire.
moderately busy, but Gunshy and a Mustafa post (to supplement LD's) before I crash later.
Ya wouldn't be having a little glee at that thought, now would ya Vald?
Question is how many of them vanish into the smoke as soon as the first volley goes off...

Excellent writing, everyone. The last batch of posts intertwined really well. Earlier on, there was a discussion of time. I would say that it's at least late afternoon by now. The Turkish guns could be in postion, but as V alluded, they have to be secured and sighted, as well as swabbed and loaded. No doubt the first few rounds will be off target, too. And then there's the question of the Knight garrison, who are no doubt watching things very closely.
*looks around briefly, confused...shakes head*
PM your way, LD. Hopefully my confusion is a good sign.

I apologize
I know I've been a ghost latly and I'm sorry I haven't participate more then I have. I thought with school over I would have more time, but my B-day, coupled with my POS car, adding in my brother graduating from UT with Honors, and this last weekend spent down in San Antonio risking fate moving my moms studio(again) kinda ate up my time. I'm not going to make any promises for tonight cause I am beat. But expect more participation on my part in the comming week.
Again I apologize for my absense as of late.

Sorry people for my disappearence as well last week. I was down with fever the past few days and is only recovering now. I will see if i can put in a post this next couple of days once I catch up with what i've missed. In the meantime, perhaps someone can give me a summary?
Probably haven't missed all that much RW and Leto... the forums have been bouncing around like a rabbit. So not a whole lot has been going on.
