All Perry a mix of Plastic and metal. |

Yay for the metal. Those are very purty troops. But you are going to need a LOT more dismounted French MAA and English yeomen. Right now you look to be about 60-40, bowmen to dismounted MAA. You need more like one MAA for every five or six bowmen, for the high point of the HYW, and then it gets "worse", with MAA sometimes forming only ten percent of the army. At that point, however, I'm seeing "billmen" in the place of actual archers, as the least well or willing archers take to the polearm as an option. Nobody can say what proportion of bill wielding "archers" there were at a given time, so paint a bunch of them if you like them for variety! But the archers, of course, always outnumber the total of mounted and dismounted MAA and "billmen"…. |

i Totally agree with you!!

My aim is to add in my next batch only English longbows and French men at arms..nothing else.. I guess you are going to do this by buying more of the Perry plastic sets and painting the archers as English and the men-at-arms as French? |

well to tell you the truth Perry plastics have too many small parts..hands..heads..and the non stop gluing some times makes me fed up!
I think i will go for the metal ones…;) |
