Good day to all

Since one of the fellow gamers at the Istanbul Karargah club is interested in gaming the Russo-Ottoman War of 1877-1878 with me (in 1/72 or 10mm), I sat down and came up with army lists and special rules for Black Powder.

I would love your comments, criticisms and ideas

A text version is available on my blog

and an illustrated PDF version here

Enjoy and share!

I should be clear this is a game not a simulation, and the lists are in no way to be considered as an attempt at simulation. Also all values are relative (Russian vs. Ottoman). You cannot take the lists and say fight a Russian vs. UK battle without proper adaptions.

If anyone wants to try this in 28mm dont forget Outpost Wargames Services have an extensive range with more to come.

Fantastic. I am in the midst of painting figures for this conflict and was thinking of using black powder. Thank you.

No problem!If you play using them, tell me if you feel if anything was overpowered (I am looking at you Guard Units and Ottoman Veterans)!
