What better way to enjoy the hobby than by combining Wargaming itself with my other passion Bradford City. So to celebrate the clubs promotion to League 1 this season I did In September 1525 Bradford City were away at Padua in the Inter Toto Cup, unfortunately Derek the wagon train driver was accidentally killed in a argument over the correct wine to have with Fish and Chips and there were over 600 people unable to make it home. What else to do but become Condottieri, grab some "Big Stix" (real Bradford City in joke 😁) and fight your way home.

Totally historically accurate of course

Each of the figures is painted in a different historical kit from the clubs long history, I'll add some shot (dedicated to the clubs best strikers soon), so they will have a -1 when firing

A very impressive regiment!

In my opinion, football kits are an excellent guide for medieval liveries, because they serve mostly serve the same function: ease of recognition.

Glad you're being strict with your historical accuracy and only representing attested strips in your unit.

A great idea and some super painting on both clothing and standards.
