Parliament’s cavalry initially relied more on the pistol than the cold steel charge favoured by the dashing Royalists, but by the war’s end bloody charges were the norm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCuirassiers were rare in the English Civil Wars and confined to a few squadrons, mostly formed from Lifeguards. Individual troopers wore what armour they had available, regardless of its age, and could be integrated into the Harquebusier regiments. Dragoons were found on all sides and could dismount to hold tactical positions such as bridges, but also fire from the saddle when required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll armies of the period deployed as many cannons as they could afford, from fearsome large Sakers to small field guns like the Falconet, which blasted deadly hails of shot at close quarters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis box set contains the following plastic figures: 30 harquebusiers, 6 cuirassiers, 3 cornets, 9 mounted dragoons, 15 dismounted dragoons, 18 commanded shotte, 3 medium sakers, 3 light falconets, 3 mounted battalia commanders and 3 ensigns on foot, plastic bases and a full-colour flag sheet containing English Civil War colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48018438422771,"sku":"125522","price":26.85,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0706\/8699\/8771\/files\/125522-pike-shotte-epic-battles-english-civil-wars-cavalry-battalia-212013002-1.webp?v=1781207073","url":"https:\/\/radaddel.de\/en\/products\/pike-shotte-epic-battles-english-civil-wars-cavalry-battalia","provider":"Radaddel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
