Golden Horde
The Golden Horde, self-designated as Ulug Ulus, 'Great State' in Turkic, was originally a Mongols, Mongol and later Turkicized khanate established in the 13th century and originating as the northwestern sector of the Mongol Empire. With the fragmentation of the Mongol Empire after 1259 it became a functionally separate khanate. It is also known as the Kipchak Khanate or as the Ulus of Jochi, and replaced the earlier less organized Cuman–Kipchak confederation. After the death of Batu Khan (the founder of the Golden Horde) in 1255, his dynasty flourished for a full century, until 1359, though the intrigues of Nogai Khan, Nogai instigated a partial civil war in the late 1290s.

Mongol And Tatar States In Europe
This article lists conflicts in Europe during the invasions of and subsequent occupations by the Mongol Empire and its successor states. The Mongol invasion of Europe took place in the 13th century. This resulted in the occupation of much of Eastern Europe, and various raids, invasions, and conquests continued for another three centuries from the Late Middle Ages into the early modern period.

Hordes (game)
''Hordes'' is the name of a 30mm tabletop miniature wargame produced by Privateer Press, announced at Gen Con 2005 and released on April 22, 2006. Although a completely standalone game in its own right, ''Hordes'' was designed as a companion to ''Warmachine'', Privateer Press' flagship miniatures game. The games are 100% compatible, and share much of the same rules set, although the most important mechanic - fury for ''Hordes'' and focus for ''Warmachine'' - remains unique to each. ''Hordes'' forces and ''Warmachine'' forces often face off against each other both on the tabletop and in the background fiction. The games share the same setting, the Iron Kingdoms, with much of the ''Hordes'' storyline taking place in the wild areas away from the 'civilized' areas where ''Warmachine''s major action takes place. ''Hordes'' won the 2006 Origins Award for Miniatures Game or Expansion of the Year. Gameplay As in ''Warmachine'', gameplay in ''Hordes'' is supposed to promote offensive ...
