Volume Four of Partizan Press' Universal Wargames Rules Supplements for the later 18th century and Napoleonic-era Ottoman armies. Includes scenarios and campaign options for an Ottoman army against other Ottoman, Russian, Austrian, French, or British armies to represent any of the major conflicts from the 1780s to 1814.

Wargaming with a later 18th century or Napoleonic period Ottoman army presents some challenges as the Ottomans did not follow many of the military conventions of the period. This book covers organization, tactics, and rules modifications intended to showcase the Ottoman's warfighting style. The organization and fighting concepts employed by the Ottomans were developed based on an ethos of individual martial prowess and expertise in the use of the sword - the formidable scimitars. The nature of Ottoman warfare led to specialized tactics developed by the Austrians, Russians, and French tailored to fighting the Ottomans.

The book includes an end-section listing a selection of 25-28mm scale metal, resin, and hard plastic Ottoman figures and accessories that could be used to develop a wargaming army for the later 18th century and Napoleonic period.
