Swiss pikes II


These Swiss pike are from the region of the Tessin, next to the Italian border.


Click on the photo to super-size it. I purchased these such a long time ago that I can not remember the manufacture's name - if anyone can help.

I like your pikemen, and more generally the very idea, and your realization, of a Swiss army of the Wars against Burgundy.
Yet, as a Lace Wars 'aficionado', I'm worried by: "Duchy of Colonia lulia equestris - wargamers blog (WAS: a seven years war army in the making ): did you drop the idea of an original SYW army of Colonia lulia equestris - or of a few mercenary regiments the 'Colonia'offers to rent?

Sincerely,
Jean-Louis

Andy,

You left some comments on my blog . . . and, while it has been quite a while since you've visited the 18th century on your blog, since you are building a "big battalion" unit or two, did you want to join the "Emperor vs Elector" group blog?

If so, email me at bluebear@uniserve.com and I'll see that you get an invitation.

The RSMs are lovely figures . . . and at a great price on this side of the Atlantic. What shipping and any customs duties might be, I don't know.

Email Richard at . . . radetzky@prodigy.net . . . and ask all of the questions you have about what normally comes in a "bag" (usually set up for two 18-man units).

If you will want (as I suspect you will) some special mixes of figures, they have always done so for me. Use my name if you want, but they'll be just as nice anyway.
