Come John Wayne? Like John Wayne?

Non sono proprio sicuro del fatto che gli archibugieri a cavallo del rinascimento sparassero dalla sella, magari con il cavallo in movimento, proprio come il buon vecchio John Wayne.
Però, mischiando i pezzi delle nuove miniature della Cavalleria leggera Rinascimentale della Perry, con le braccia degli archibugieri a piedi della scatola dei mercenari europei viene fuori qualcosa che rende l'idea...
Comunque sono pezzi molto dinamici!








I'm not really sure of the fact that the mounted arquibuisieurs of the Renaissance shot out from the saddle, perhaps with the horse in motion, just like the good old John Wayne did . However , mixing the pieces of the new light cavalry Renaissance of Perry miniatures , with the arms of the  foot arquibuisieurs from the  box of European mercenaries something comes up that makes the idea ... However pieces are very dynamic !
The Duke would have been proud of them!

  1. They probably didn't (shoot from the saddle), but, hey, they are good looking! I will shamelessly copy your idea and built some myself.

  2. Exactly what I was thinking about them! Sometime, historical accuracy can give way to aesthetics... :)

  3. Probably, they didn't shoot from the saddle. These apparently became a viable military tactic only with the advent of the wheel pistol and the caracol (that was much later).
