It is an era steeped in myths, legends, and battles that still resonate todayconflicts that profoundly shaped the course of European history. This supplement features rules for recreating some of historys most renowned battles: the Great Siege of Malta, the Ottoman assault on Vienna in 1683, and the devastating Hungarian defeat at Mohács. Alongside these famous engagements, the book also sheds light on lesser-known conflicts fought across the Mediterraneanand beyondas empires expanded and nations vied to establish themselves as global powers. It was, truly, a time when empires clashed, each striving to secure "the highest throne." The book offers a fascinating glimpse into an epoch in which Venice vied with the Ottomans for supremacy over Crete and Cyprus, and gold from the Spanish conquest of the Americas financed the Habsburgs' wars against the Ottomans in Eastern Europe. It is the era of Portuguese adventurers fighting in Ethiopia; of Hungarian and Croatian cavalryvastly outnumberedsallying forth from besieged fortresses; of Venetian troops battling the Ottomans in the shadow of the Parthenon; of Polish Winged Hussars leading devastating charges; and of legendary figures such as Suleiman the Magnificent and the Knights of St. John. The aim of this book is to enable wargamers to fully immerse themselves in this dynamic and colorful eraan age defined by the rise of the Ottoman Empire to the status of a global superpower. To this end, the book offers exciting army lists, interesting character models, and valuable tips on collecting and gameplay for a wide variety of different factions.
