Contents of the For King and Country set?
« on: October 16, 2016, 06:23:13 AM »
Can someone please tell me what figures come in the For King and Country Pike and Shotte set?  The Warlord site says 12 Firelocks and 12 Cavalry, which I understand, but it also says 58 pike and musket, which I do not.  What infantry sets add up to 58 troops?

I think it is 24 Pike and 24 Shots and some Command-figures (2 Standards 2 drums 2 sergeants 2 officers and to Contingent leaders).

You get multiples of the standard Warlord Unit and Command sprues, the contents of each sprue are pictured on the website.

I think what might account for the odd numbers is you get 13 bodies on the infantry sprue. There are only enough arms/weapons to arm 12 of them but there are an extra set of arms on the command sprue. So if you just use the 12  infantry and the command without making use of the extra arms that gives you 54 infantry; by utilising the extra arms on the command sprue that gives you another 4.

I think...
