Product information "AO 40 English Army 1415-1429 (36 figures) "
The figures in this box represent the English Army at the height of the Hundred Years War, when the English bowmen dominated the field of battle in France. Specifically the figures cover the period from the Battle of Agincourt (in 1415, when they were led by Henry V) to the Siege of Orleans (1429, when the French were led by Joan of Arc) which became the turning point of the war. All the Men at Arms are represented in the full plate harness which was now the norm for gentry, as with the metal range, they cover the first flowering of real full plate armour. This being mostly rounded and ‘globular’. Although they are described these as English they could be used as French too. The only differences being the English tending to fight in ‘white’ uncovered armour a little more more than the French. With armour styles the box covers the main types used during these 14 years. Things changed quite fast especially with the basinets at this time. More plates were being added to the basic basinet with aventail until the aventail disappeared altogether and you had the full great basinet. The houndskull visors also became globular during this period.
Shields for Men at Arms had more or less been dropped from use in the field as the armour became more complete, so there’s only one on the sprue (2 per box). All the visors are separate as is the ‘orle’ or decorated circlet which was typically English. Two of the bodies have jupons and the other four are in ‘white’ armour. These designed these so some of the arms from the Wars of the Roses sets are interchangeable, the shoulders are the same width at least. So with some of the ‘white’ armoured bodies (i.e. the ones in the great basinets) you should be able to bridge the 1440’s with the WotR arms. The archers are represented in padded aketons, nocking, drawing and loosing as a cohesive body. We’ve included a few pairs for arms for close combat too. These will be available separately as you might want to raise the ratio of the archers to men at arms. The box contains 24 archers and 12 men at arms. With the archers there is also a trumpet arm, the men at arms frame includes a longer spear that can be used for a standard or banner. Commanders can be used from within the men at arms. The box contains: 36 figures, unit bases, 17 banners, 6 standards, painting guide and information sheet.

PRU 2 Prussian Infantry skirmishing
€25.95*
We are releasing 2 boxes of plastic Prussian Infantry to start our new Franco-Prussian War range. Both have the same frames of figures in them but they are in different ratios. All figures have 4 head variants including the 1860 pattern and 1867 pattern picklehaube, forage caps and Landwehr shakos. Bases and an information sheet are included.
Prussian Infantry skirmishing (PRU 2) – this contains mainly the skirmish frames so that you can form an irregular firing line. As the French Chassepot rifle was superior to the Prussian Dreyse, firing lines tended to be open order with infantry taking cover where possible. There are also 2 advancing frames included as well as a command.
39 figures are included in each box plus casualties.
