20mm WSS

[Vintage Wargaming]

If you can find it at a good price, this book is invaluable, as he fills in from 1689 despite the dates in the title.

Yes, got that one, Fred. Many thanks.

I suspect you won't be surprised to learn that I add pikes wherever I can because they look pretty. You'll know that there are some who suggest that some British regiments at Blenheim may have had pikes........that's more than enough for me.

I remain to be convinced that pikes were any kind of offensive weapon...........a subject on which you should not get me started........unless we find ourselves in a pub and the beer is flowing freely.

Strelets appear to be releasing a set of French WSS pikemen

Oooooh!

[Peeler]

Is there a point to them?

[FreddBloggs]

You know EB and essex folks, a sucker for pikeys.

Is there a point to them?

Yes but it’s bent

[Peeler]

What's the point of a bent point?

[goat major]

For poking round the corner on a square based unit

[Peeler]

Hoho!

Are these Strelets on the PSR yet?

[Vintage Wargaming]

Dammit, they look like they're going to be much nicer than the Swedish ones
