Loose! and they did, over and over, a rain of arrows. I remember reading somewhere a battalion of longbow men would be superior to a battalion of musketeers on a Napoleonic battle field. The bowman has longer range, a more accurate and quicker rate of fire. But a proficient longbow man needs to be cultivated from childhood. His physique evolved with increasingly powerful bows and maintained with regular practice until he no longer needs to aim – just point and hit – a sportsman. But give a half-starved redundant weaver confidence with a bright red jacket and regimental mythology, some days' marching drill, and an industrially produced musket – flash b-b-b-b-ang! It's all politics and economics and expediency.
The figures have black or white surrounds, and there is a detailed 'earth' sheet for figure bases. The PDF sheets include the mirror reflections and fold lines to enable easy construction.
