Yeah.
He cites the same half-dozen books throughout the text - wouldn’t pass muster at any academic level.
And his most frequently-cited source is...

David Nicolle’s Osprey.
Wooh, research!

(This after criticising much of the popular information available as derivative.)

His diversions into the pre-Napoleonic stuff (on the grounds of establishing historical background or defining terms) are a bit lengthy and start to whiff of ‘padding’.

Also the phrasing: “it is known”.
Made me think I was being read to by a Dothraki.

From BBC News website 17/7:
"....in the 1815 Battle of Waterloo...... which saw the French army defeated by the allied British and Persian troops"

There's a game to rival the battle for AWI airfields.

Factually wrong. Everyone knows that the Persians were marching to support Grouchy at Wavre but took a wrong turn somewhere in the Causacus.

(More seriously, does anyone do Napoleonic era Persian troops? There was a Russo-Persian war at the time)

Id LOVE a Persian army. Of course this is just part of the conspiracy against Noted Paedophile Peter Hofschrauer.

To answer my own question, Khurasan do in 15mm. No idea if they have ottoman dildos in their range though.

I think that's a scratch build item. Of course, you might not be looking at the right manufacturers.
