Turkey declares War on the Timurids!
After much deliberation, the rulers of Turkey have decided to go to war with the Timurids! A total force of 65,000 men from Turkey and the 15,000 men from Russia launched a two-pronged attack into Timurid land. The general leading the attack is Abd-Al-Rashid, a veteran of the Polish Wars. The army is a revolutionary rifle-only army, with the muskets replaced by highly accurate rifles using Minie balls. Short scimitars are kept as a backup weapon.
In addition, the research on the special firearm is almost done.
