Description

The late 15th and early 16th centuries in Europe were defined bynear-constant warfare. National ‘standing armies’ were unheard of and theambitions of empires were reliant on the mercenaries they could affordto hire.

This box contains:

  • Plastic components to make either 30 Pikemen or 24 Pikemen and5 Arquebusiers
  • Command sprue with options for officers, standard bearers,drummers, etc.
  • Plastic bases.
  • Background guide with 5 full-colour flags.

Landsknechts were instigated by the Holy Roman Emperor, Maximillian I, as areaction to the Swiss Mercenary Pikemen that had dominated battlefields fordecades before the Italian Wars (1494–1559).

Over the course of the Italian Wars, however, the Landsknecht tactics adaptedfar more than the Swiss and the use of firearms in conjunction with the pikewould give them the edge, at least tactically.

Maximillian was keen to give the men freedom to wear what they wanted, andthis resulted in plumes, slashed sleeves and bright colours. The figures in thisboxed set can be used to represent the Landsknechts raised in Germany or theTyrol as well as early Swiss pike regiments.
