This box re-uses the popular ECW plastic cavalry, which forms the basis of this box.
We
have added two new splendid models in metal, a characterful Captain of
horse and a metal Cornet, both full of dash and Swedish boldness!
The
Swedes, and the Finns who fought so well alongside them, were sometime
equipped with the savage looking curved sabre rather than the standard
broadsword, and we have included 3 metal sabre arms to equip your ranks.
The
characteristic metal Swedish style helmet is also included. We have put
in 10 of this Single barred and fluted helmet so that you can give them
all this headgear if you really want, though a mix of helmets and soft
hats seems common at the time.
Last but not
least, we have included six musketeers who are modelled firing the
dreaded Swedish salvoe, as the Swedes attached commanded units of shot
to intersperse with the cavalry squadrons, so that will give them some
fire support and confound your enemy...
This model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
