28 mm scale 36 Highly detailed plastic figures Unpainted figures, assembly with glue and painting required 17 banners, 6 standards, Painting guide and information sheet included Molded in gray with green bases Recommended for 12 years and older This Perry Miniatures kit represent the English Army at the height of the Hundred Years War, when the English bowmen dominated the field of battle in France. Specifically the figures cover the period from the Battle of Agincourt (in 1415, when they were led by Henry V) to the Siege of Orleans (1429, when the French were led by Joan of Arc) which became the turning point of the war. All the Men at Arms are represented in the full plate harness which was now the norm for gentry, as with the metal range, they cover the first flowering of real full plate armour. This being mostly rounded and 'globular'. Although they are described these as English they could be used as French too. The only differences being the English tending to fight in 'white' uncovered armour a little more than the French. With armour styles the box covers the main types used during these 14 years. Things changed quite fast especially with the basinets at this time. More plates were being added to the basic basinet with aventail until the aventail disappeared altogether and you had the full great basinet. The houndskull visors also became globular during this period. Shields for Men at Arms had more or less been dropped from use in the field as the armour became more complete, so there’s only one on the sprue (2 per box). All the visors are separate as is the 'orle' or decorated circlet which was typically English. Two of the bodies have jupons and the other four are in 'white' armour. These designed these so some of the arms from the Wars of the Roses sets are interchangeable, the shoulders are the same width at least. So with some of the 'white' armoured bodies (i.e. the ones in the great basinets) you should be able to bridge the 1440’s with the WotR arms. The archers are represented in padded aketons, nocking, drawing and loosing as a cohesive body. Included are a few pairs for arms for close combat too. These will be available separately as you might want to raise the ratio of the archers to men at arms. The box contains 24 archers and 12 men at arms. With the archers there is also a trumpet arm, the men at arms frame includes a longer spear that can be used for a standard or banner. Commanders can be used from within the men at arms.

With a mere 112 dead, and an unknown number wounded, Henrys exhausted English defeated the French against all odds, whose estimated casualties were 7,00010,000 (mostly killed) and 1,500 noble prisoners.

Fighting across the muddy battlefield, perhaps the terrain itself will be your ally will you follow the nobles code of honour? Or fight as though your life depends on victory!.

The French king of the time, Charles VI, suffered from severe mental illness so instead, the French were commanded by the Constable Charles dAlbret and various prominent French noblemen, Many of whom would not live to see the day end. Estimates suggest that the English had some 7 to 9,000 men made up 56 longbow archers, 16 dismounted knights and men-at-arms in heavy armour at Agincourt. The French had somewhere between 12,000 (outnumbering the English 43) to 36,000 (outnumbering the English 61.
