Pike & Shotte Epic Battles - Thirty Years War Infantry Battalia

Pike & Shotte Epic Battles - Thirty Years War Infantry Battalia

Few sights are as glorious as that of a 17th-century battalion arrayed in formation, awaiting the order to engage. Drums beat out commands, officers make rousing speeches, and brave ensigns wave regimental colours for soldiers to rally around when the real fighting begins. Pikes, gripping their 16-foot ashwood poles tipped with wicked steel, stand shoulder to shoulder, the lucky few with armour in the front ranks. On their flanks stand the "Shotte," blowing on their glowing matches to ensure their musket powder flashes true, spitting heavy lead balls towards the advancing foe!

This box contains three combined pike and shot plastic regiments (40 pike and 40 musket, each with command), plastic bases, and a full-colour flag sheet with colours for both sides in the Thirty Years War.
