Battle for Rhodes
9.99 €
May 23, 1480. The Turkish army has begun a siege of the island of Rhodes, which is held by the Ioannite Knights. If Rhodes falls, the way to Italy, which Sultan Mehmed dreams of capturing, will be open. However, the forces are unequal. One hundred thousand Turkish army is opposed by only six hundred knights and two and a half thousand other warriors, not counting the militia. In addition, the Turks have giant cannons that can raze any fortress to the ground. Will the ancient strongholds be able to resist the latest engineering advances? Will the old chivalric ideals prove stronger than the new-fangled Machiavellianism? The English knight Leo Thornville, taking part in the defense of Rhodes, is destined to see how history will answer these questions.
