The Ottoman attack has finally developed.  It took some time to rally unit resolve, and re-align the ranks after the poor Disease and Mishaps die rolls.

Beginning to think that I’m a tactical rut.  Once again (it seems) the main effort is on the left with a demonstration on the right.  Or, is it a terrain placement rut?  I’m not going back in the archives, because I just don’t want to know.  I guess it’s enough to be aware (?).

Trying very hard to honor the command radius distances for each side.  That does make a difference.

I bumped the Janissary missile troops rally value to a “2”, vice “1” based on my past readings of their tactics.  We’ll see how that works when they contact their Abyssinian counterparts.  I did remember one lesson from the previous Ottoman fight; the missile units are backed up by two units of Janissaries with cutting weapons.
