Hii!

I need help 'cause it's really difficult to find any informations about weapons, clothes and tactics of medieval Mongolians. Especially in Czech Republic

. I'm trying to make an group of historical fencing/ living history situated to Mongolia. I need as much informations as possible. So if you know anything about it, please let me know (links, tips for publications, anything). Thanks.

Get a book by Michael Prawdin "The Mongol empire".
He was Russian historian (rather popular one), and emigrated to Germany after the Communist Revolution. The book was originally published in Germany, in 1938: the Nazis were big on Chingiz Khan and modeled their tank warfare on his example. It was translated into English in 1940 ( the Brits wanted to learn, too). The Israelis translated it into Hebrew for their General Staff training. Full of info, details etc.
You can find it on alibris.com or bookfinder.com
Reads like Tom Clancy!
