Pike & Shotte Starter Battalia

 
Not sure if you've seen this from Warlord:


 PIKE & SHOTTE
BATTALIA STARTER ARMY
The perfect way to start your Pike & Shotte army or add additional units of the bravest Soldiers to your army.
The Battalia includes the following:
·         80 Pike & Shotte Infantry allowing you to make 24 pike men 48 muskets with 2 sets of Command.
·         24 Cavalry
·         10 Firelocks
·         Plastic bases
·         40 Full colour Flags, Parliament and Royalists
Buying all these items would cost over £90
Yours for the great price of £50

Maelstrom have them for £45, less if you use their newest offer.  Not a bad offer if you want a TYW or ECW starter...........

Tempting, very tempting... but then again there's a LOT of interesting stuff coming up...

Two boxes would go a long way to creating an army.

That's definitely something to put on my Christmas list - assuming the deal is still on then. Maybe I can persuade the Mrs to buy it now

Having just seen that GW are selling the new Blood Angels at £20 for 5, then £45 for 114 figures, 24 horses, bases and flags is a snip.

GW had better hope that the teenies don't discover WHECW any time soon................

Good to have this set in stock again, though I notice they've dropped the cannon from the offer that was released before Christmas and replaced it with the flags.  Still fantastic value though, and the figures are fine (I really like the cavalry).

I saw a Scots Battalia box at the convention I went to in early March, can't see any mention of it on the Warlord website, though. I recall it as being 120 infantry, only 12 cav, one frame gun, and a couple of characters.

More infantry & half the horse of the standard Battalia box; not sure if it had the firelock infantry or not.

Either is seriously tempting, they look like nice figures and a great price for a reasonable-sized starter army with all arms.
