What I found fascinating was the marks on the skulls that the experts believed could only be caused by "Flamberge" style swords, I doubted these were even used in 1499 so this could be interesting proof of them being around at the very end of the 1400s.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-65167586192707965942017-04-19T10:47:51.534-07:002017-04-19T10:47:51.534-07:00Cheers PatCheers PatOlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-80201433177170225092017-04-19T10:47:36.714-07:002017-04-19T10:47:36.714-07:00Hi Robbie, yes the mounted crossbowmen are indeed ...Hi Robbie, yes the mounted crossbowmen are indeed Eureka French "archers" with some head swaps and pieces added from Plastic Perry sets.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-58701346557300366192017-04-19T10:46:29.263-07:002017-04-19T10:46:29.263-07:00Cheers PhilCheers PhilOlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-10378140887691798312017-04-19T10:46:16.861-07:002017-04-19T10:46:16.861-07:00Thanks Jonathan.

The group in the pic entitled Early 16th Century Men-at-Arms have the front rank made up of Wargames Foundry late medievals on Assault Group horses with a few Foundry Gendarmes in Maximilian style harness and a couple of mounted conquistadors by the Assault Group. All of the back rank are Eureka figures. <br /><br />The other group of Men-at-arms, pic entitled Men-at-arms c.1499 are a front rank of Wargames Foundry Gensdarmes, Assault Group Spanish Conquistadors and old Wargames Foundry Late medievals on Assault Group horses. The back rank are all plastic Perry men-at-arms converted into lighter spear armed cavalry.<br /><br />With regard to Switzerland I have not been fortunate to have made a visit yet. I do want to go at some point as I think the National Museum of Zurich holds lots of Burgundian items from their defeat in 1477, although I am not sure if all the captured banners and such are on display. I think the castle at Grandson also holds some of the Burgundian treasures.Olihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796318659076787601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6819465537498177551.post-56984994091485610942017-04-19T05:48:54.670-07:002017-04-19T05:48:54.670-07:00Excellent stuff Oli, great mix of manufacturers fi...Excellent stuff Oli, great mix of manufacturers figures too!<br />I love the battle of Dornach contemporary art work. I watched the medieval dead program and was a real eye opener to the hatred between the two sides, enough for them to leave the bodies rotting where they fell!
