    Hi, just wanted to share this cool documentary I've found, the battles graphically are very nicely recreated, after watching it I couldn't resist for a long playing session of SS6.0, hope you will too

    Yeah this series was played on TV here in Australia a while back. They're quite a good watch. Amusing to see the old guys always getting his son to do the dangerous/hard parts of reconstructions

    Txs I've already seen that thread, great job of collecting them, seen most of those docs too. So I tried to share here not listed ones in your thread.

    The Janissaries (1/3)

    Part One. Originating in the 14th century AD, these infantry units were composed of non-Muslims who had been captured and converted to Islam. They were then trained to fight for the Ottoman Empire against the Christians.
