TURKEY DECLARES WAR ON EGYPT
Turkey, after much debate, decides to end the treaty between Turkey and Egypt, and starts pushing into Egypt with it's newly equipped wheel-lock troops at the forefront of the attack. Two companies of 200 men, half with long, 12 foot barbed pikes and the other half with new, technologically advanced wheellock muskets. At their backs lie 75,000 soldiers, all armed either with a matchlock arquebusier, or a scimitar and a shorter, 9 foot long spear.
These troops are led by several generals, but the person leading the main operation is Abd-Al-Rahman. A 59 year-old general, he is a veteran of the first Egyptian-Turkish war and several smaller border conflicts, and the first Turk to march into Jerusalem since 1059.
