Re: Gallipoli - a plea from Down-Under

Alex, that's very kind of you providing information, much appreciated.

I find info on numbers and use of helmets in the Ottoman army sketchy at best.

https://www.ottoman-uniforms.com/ww1-ottoman-army-uniforms/
pretty much sums it up. There is also some additional information here:

https://www.greatwarforum.org/topic/146160-turkish-stahlhelm/

I once thought about equipping Ottoman figures with WW2 paratrooper helmets but they lack the lugs so typical of German WW1 steel helmets.

Megiddo does, unfortunately, not hold much appeal to me. A cavalry dash and a rout make this a rather one-sided battle to game. :grimacing: That's why I hope for some Gallipoli, or East front, sets to supplement the excellent Ottomans Strelets have produced. Regards, Pa

Re: Gallipoli - a plea from Down-Under

I would be interested in sets for Gallipoli; ANZAC, Turk, maybe French Colonial.

I would also be interested in Ottoman stormtroopers, though I would stress that I mean stormtroopers rather than trench raiders.

Re: Gallipoli - a plea from Down-Under

Hi Richard,

As you may have seen, Strelets replied to my question about ww1 future figures. Maybe they still have plans for some ANZAC too, let's hope

Other nice sets would be ottomans amd Austro-hungarian in helmets
