This box contains centre company men (or hat men) of a typical British regiment for the war. The regiments flank companies were normally detached to for combined light and grenadier battalions.

They are represented in cut-down coats for campaign and come with three hat variants; the typical cocked hat, the un-cocked hat or board brimmed hat and the ‘Saratoga cap’, cut down from the cocked hat.

They can be assembled either at the charge or at the trail ( probably the most common drill position when operating in wooded countryside). They also wear the typical gaiter-trousers or American trousers which became very popular in the war. The officers are in simple undress coats favoured on campaign.

Box contains:

36 figures plus 2 casualties

unit bases

full painting guide and flags.

Miniatures are unassembled and unpainted. Glue and paints sold separately.

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. A truly unbelievable number historically attributing to the myth of the English long bow. 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!.
