| Event: Russo-Turkish War Battle Rules: Fields of Honor Period/Era: 19th Century European: 1877-78 Scale: 15mm GM: Michael Machell Club: Lawrence Wargamers Sponsor: This is an obscure, but interesting 19th century European imperial war between the expansionist Russian Empire and the "sick man of Europe", the Ottoman Empire. The Russians hoped to exploit the weakness of the decrepit Turks to re-establish an Orthodox Christian presence in the Dardanelles and in Constantinople. When Slavic peasants in Turkey revolted in 1875, Pan-Slavic rebellion in the Balkans gave Russia an excuse to march into Bulgaria and assault Turkish forts along the Caucasus border region. Battles of the Russo-Turkish War feature the Turks on the defensive, often in mountain-top defenses guarding vital passes. This scenario will offer players the opportunity to command the steadfast Russian invaders or direct the desperate Turkish defenders hoping to stall the Russian advance. |
