Please help me understand Germany through the ages

[former user]

as if @Chris was intentionally doing a german impression......   

let's see, so now we know that @EricB (obviously "the Bavarian"  )  somehow tries to retrostyle his constructed  german identity into wargaming. So now we know why, tell us how

because there is no Türsteher in medieval Europe, or Dark Ages Europe (probably?)
and any way, he would have to be slavic then...

does anyone make Russian medieval miniatures? I used to have sets of flat plastic 54 mm medieval russian warrious - they were awesome
and try to watch this polish "Crusaders"  movie

Alright, it sounds like Jomsvikings and Pagan Rus from Gripping Beast for the North and Late-Roman/Byzantine/Arthurians and Gothics from Musketeer Miniatures for the South.

Slightly different periods, I know, but this makes sense.

Then, for later, Polish/Lithuanians and Teutonic Knights as well as generic 1200-1400 Crusaders in their chain and tabards moving into the Perry War of the Roses minis.  Though, Germans used different longswords and Grosses/Kriegs/Langes Messer and the fencing methods seemed to be unique to Germany and some of the Slavic schools (I actually train in this longsword and Dussak fencing).

Then the Landsknecht-look later on.

Thanks, folks.

Now, to find some good Tracht-wearing minis, both male and female... yes, I got the Oktoberfest girl from Reaper.  My 6 year old daughter insists that I paint it like her...
