Hello there everyone. At the behest of Ankari and Sheilawisz, I wanted to offer my services as an adviser on matters dealing with the military. To give some background so you know at least were I come from, I have my doctorate in Military History with my personal focus being on the Ottoman Empire (my dissertation being on Suleiman the Magnificent's campaign against Vienna). I am now a professor of what I learned and work at a local university.
Beyond the period that the Ottoman Empire encompassed I also had to learn warfare from its beginning to what it is now, and across the globe.
Mind you I am an expert on military history and military theory. I have not been in battle personally. If I do not know something, I will gladly learn it to help anyone asking the question.
Beyond this, I have spent a great deal of my personal time writing my own story, wherein I use the knowledge I have to delve deep into the fantasy battle sequences, and learning and theorizing how magic and other fantasy elements can be effectively used in full scale military operations.
I hope my extensive knowledge can be of use to someone here, and would welcome any questions that you have to how something might work in your own worlds. Just try and give me a good scope of the scenario so I can help you as best as possible.
If known, let me know the culture if any you model off of... the types of arms and armor... magic involved and so forth and I will do my best to answer.
