"Cos Breaking Up Is So Very Hard To Do".

 

 

(a)  Breaking Up the Ottomans - Part 4

An entertaining book about the Mongols.  Typical pattern - Break Out - Expand - Conquer - Fight Among Themselves - Fragmentation - Demise.

Now that I have separated out the Ottomans and Turkomans I have the 'rump' to deal with.  Islamic Persians may be a possibility but I would need to purchase models to fill out certain gaps.  

Many Lh and a few Cv are, as yet, unidentified. Looking not too closely at the illustrations in the above book I considered raising a Mongol army.  So what are the requirements?

Cumulative list for 3.44, 4.35, 4.47  & 4.52:

1 x Cv(g);  4 x Cv (Mongol);  1 x Cv (Georgian);
3 x Cv (Uighur, Khitan, Khwarizmian or Chinese);
9 x Lh (Mongol); 4 x Lh (Tartars); 3 x Lh (Cuman);
3 x Lh (Uighur, Kipchak or Turkoman);
1 x 3Bw (Armen); 2 x 3Bw (Bessemeni); 1 x 3Bw Tajik);
1 x 4Xb (Italian); 1 x 3Wb (Siberians); 1 x 7Hd (Tajik);
1 x Art (stone-thrower)

That's a lot of figures [92 + Art]
                30 Cv, 36 Lh, 12 Bw, 4 Xb, 3 Wb, 7 Hd, 1 Art

Interestingly, list 3.44 is exclusively Mongol whereas 4.47 only has 1 x 3Cv.  Perhaps I should give the Golden Horde a miss!

(b)  Breaking Up the Aztecs - Summary

4.19a - Tarascan or Toltec-Chichimec - a/w painting
4.19c - Spanish & Tlaxcalan - ready for use
4.53 - Mixtec, Zapotec or West Mexican - a/w painting
4.63 - Aztecs - a/w shield painting
4.71b - Coastal Peruvians (Tallanes) - a/w painting

Most of the remainder has been swapped.  So that's the end of my old (6th Ed) killer army.  Ho hum - life goes on!
