Long time no talk.
Last time I posted some links to free books about pirates and the link were deleted which is really annoying, considering these were free.
Anyway I spent some time reading old pirates journals and books about Buccaneers, corsairs, etc.
The most fascinating one I found was about French corsairs. It's written by a British.
One thing I found in common with these pirates like Morgan, Drake, Sharp, etc., they were all a bit stupid (90% of the time) because when they prepared an attack, they never brought enough food, thinking they were going to find plenty of provisions but they ended up starving for days sometimes.
Anyway to come back to the topic, I found out that Turgut (UW1)was contemporary to Khayr-ad-Din.
He actually took over as Reis of Algiers at Khayr's death.
This character should have been added to UWNH.
