THE SIEGE OF MALTA 1565
THE CRUSADES
THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

In the mid-16th Century, a long running conflict between two of the most powerful world religions is building up to a climactic battle in the Mediterranean. Facing each other are the knights of the Order of St. John, a small but formidable and fanatical Christian military Order and the Muslim Janissaries, the fearsome crack troops of Suleyman the Magnificent.
The Great Siege of Malta occurred in 1565 when the Ottoman Empire attempted to conquer the Island of Malta, then held by the Knights Hospitaller.
The siege lasted nearly four months, from 18th May to 11th September 1565.

The forces of Suliman the Magnificent were impressive. The armies of the Sultan were hated and feared by the common folk of the west, and respected for their fighting prowess by the military.
The elite of the troops were, unusually for the time, infantry. The Janissaries were the backbone of the army.

Actuallu on second or third look i am starting to fall for the white tunic, green breeches as well as the blue boys
 
Like all series with John, it’s best to get them all . I’ve ordered all 3 sets , they do say can’t have enough archers
 
So true, you cant. Your theory supported my argument to by the riflemen in all 3 colours but atm i have to watch my budget…..so maybe later
 
I am leaning towards the Blue Tunic set. I have the blue tunic rifle set.
