I am planing to build a couple of medieval Cogs (Circa. 1400-1450)but I donīt know if there are some suitable figures to crew them (25/28mm). I think WOTR figures would be fine for "marines" but what can I use as "sailors" and gun crews. Any suggestions would be of great help. Thank you!! |

Flagship Games has some crew figs. I think they were Essex ? Check out their web sight. |

I would think that many unarmed civilian figures of the era would fit in fine – and for gun crews you could probably just use regular gun crews, too. Griefbringer |

Thanks; I will check medieval civilians ranges then. |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
