OTTOMAN/GERMAN ORDERS OF BATTLE

PALESTINE CAMPAIGN 1917-18

Because of the sheer size of this wargames campaign it
was not possible to provide model soldier equivalents
of every regiment and battalion, battery, etc. Instead
a table of organization was produced, as on the following
pages. Units of Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, etc. were
then raised and painted up. These formations were able
to be added together etc. in order to achieve the forces
in any one specific battle. As some battles involved more
than one division, the number of miniatures had to be
rather large, even so. The figure scale used is 1:50 and
the battles fought out mostly under 'BIRTH OF A CENTURY"
rules, by Mal. WRIGHT.

Bedouin Attack On Syrian Railway

The railway was attacked between Dara and Busra ash Sham,

Syria by Bedouin raiders. Turkish cavalry from both the Dara

and Adu Kamal garrisons were sent to intercept the raiders

without success. All that was found at the scene of the attack

were bullet casings of French manufacture.....

Trouble In Mesopotamia

Kurds in the north with Russian made arms attacked a

Turkish garrison in Mosul. The attack was driven off with

low casualties to the Turkish forces. The Kurdish losses

were as high as forty percent. A cavalry brigade was sent

to reinforce the Mosul garrison. The Sultans' government

has announced that it will mobilize four reserve divisions

and will be sending two into this area. It is hoped that this

surge in Ottoman troop strength will stabilize the situation

in Mesopotamia.


The Sultans' government has sent a letter of protest to

St Petersburg over this incident. The Tzars' government

has denied any knowledge of this attack and further
categorically denies providing weapons to the Kurds.

The Ottoman Empire

The Ottoman Empire

Part of how I finally got back into VSF was the gift I received
from my wife of a few hundred WWI Turks, still shocked over
this as after 24 years of marriage this was the first gift of
miniatures she ever gave me. Thing was I had nothing else
from that era....not that I'd let that stop me......)


The Ottoman Empire, far from it's former status as the poor
man of Europe, has under the direction of the "Young Turks"
reasserted it's self upon the world stage. The Turks have
reoccupied Morocco, Libya, Sudan,and have rearmed with the
help at different times, of Germany and the United Kingdom.
The Turkish government has successfully played the interests
of one European power off of another. Granting Greece it's
independence without a fight and supplying the British and
German governments with information about Russian
maneuvering in areas of interest to both empires, has won the
Turkish government the friendship of both, in part at least.
The relationship with the French, Italian and Confederate
governments has not been as civil. The Turks drove the
Italians outof Libya and have fought several skirmishes
with the French on both the Libyan and Moroccan boarders
of Algeria. The Turkish navy has also exchanged shots in the
Mediterranean with a combined Confederate and Royal Mexican
flotilla,that was on a "good will " tour to several North African
ports.The Turks are still expanding their military power and
looking to consolidate their hold on both their north and west
African conquests, as well as the continued refit their navy and
army.
