a horse archer miniature I really like

Hi, I think Wikipedia is the best encyclopedia ever written and it's getting better constantly.

My main fields of interest are Middle Eastern history, European history and military history, especially of pre-modern time (although I also read a lot about wars in modern age).

My favorite topics concern the Euro-Asian Steppe horse archers (hence the picture to your right). Nevertheless I have a keen interest in all other themes of ancient and medieval warfare.

Hope to meet fellow military history buffs. Nik Sage ^{(talk/contrib)}
