The army of Gustavus Adolphus was a truly awesome foe. Tough hard hitting cavalry, mobile artillery and a solid fearsome core of infantry, the Swedish army of the Thirty Years War was arguably the best in the world at the time.

This bow, like the equivalent English Longbow, took many years training to…

Thundering across the field of battle, resplendent in their ornate plate armour and pistols held tightly in gauntleted hands the charge of a cuirassier regiment was something to behold!

The role of the dragoon was still being defined in the wars of the 17th century. Dragoons later went on to become heavy shock cavalry who rarely got off their expensive horses. Our subjects fighting in the English Civil Wars and Thirty Years War are really mounted infantry, musketeers mounted on poorer quality horses. Their…
First off we have a Ranter, also known as a Leveller, Digger, or Agitator. The Parliament forces were full of them. Charismatic, forceful, bellicose, determined men who would hector and cajole their comrades to club together to be listened to and demand change! Quite what they wanted could change daily, but commonly it would, not…
