I discovered a new Russian language Osprey-type book series. link link link link Series covers Khalka River, Kulikovo and two general works on the Muscovite and Mongol armies. |

Those look great, better than Osprey! I have a similar book in Polish on Ottoman armies. |

I have the last 3, I got mine from On Military Matters – the pics are awesome (the one on Mongol armies is my favorite) but too bad the text is all in Russian – although some of the captions to the pictures has English text. Uesugi, where did you get your book on Ottoman armies? Thanks! |

Uesegi, I'm trying to research the Ottomans in the late 16th and early 17th Centuries and finding not a lot to work from. Would your Polish book be useful to me? |

Hard to say. If you read Polish (which I dont), then "yes", it could. From the pictures (which are great) it appears to mainly cover the 14th and 15th centuries. The author and illustrator are:
Andrzej Michalek

Rats! Great pics, but mainly 14 and 15 Centuries! Just my luck. Actually, the site had a lot of other Polish Renaissance stuff, although maybe not that accessible as they seemed to mainly be textual and I can't do Polish. |

I am actually going to sell my (mint) Ottoman book soon. I was gonna do the Ebay thing but if anyone wants it please let me know. |
