Pike & Shotte: Swiss Pikemen Regiment
If you need mercenaries, look no further than the legendary Swiss Pikemen!
Hailing from the cantons of the Swiss Confederacy, Swiss mercenary pikemen were the primary originators of the vast mercenary revolution in infantry warfare which would go on to sweep Europe and usher in the era of Pike & Shotte. Combining impressive martial skill and discipline with fierce bravery and a willingness to go on the offensive in their massed pike columns, these men were for a time the predominant force on the continent. Fighting for many masters, their weapons and ostentatious clothing attracted many imitators, most famously the German Landsknechts.
This set gives you 24 Swiss Pikemen, including a command group, a fantastic choice for any Italian Wars general to add to their army.
