Wait until I start to discuss the Leiningen Mission and how Nicholas I of Russia misinterprets it and sends Mehshikov to bully the Ottomans. Boy, do things get out of hand after that!

Please, warn me ahead of time ... forget the coffee, a gallon of Long Island Ice Tea would not be enough.

You've got to somehow integrate small-arms technical development into the story. Innovation in infantry rifles was going...[ahem]..."great guns" at the time. =]

Was Imperial Russia using the Berdan rifle by then?

PS: Of course you don't have to say anything about infantry rifles. That's just a topic I greatly enjoy, and the suggestion was tongue-in-cheek.
