Men at Arms (Remix)

Content:
This set contains all the necessary parts to build 12 Men-at-Arms of the Hundred Kingdoms for Conquest, as well as fitting bases, stands, and command cards. Alternatively, the models can be assembled as Crusaders.

The models are made of plastic, are unpainted, and need to be assembled.

Background:
Over time, with the increasing prosperity of the Hundred Kingdoms, the old feudal military service was gradually abandoned. Soldiers were tied to their land, and the growing military needs of the realm could no longer be met by men who could not travel or set up long-term garrisons as they had to cultivate their fields. A levy to the liege lord instead of military service became the norm, and professional soldiers fighting for money filled the void. The old, rural nobility tried to distance themselves from these new troops and coined the term "Men at Arms." Freed from the necessity of cultivating and protecting their land, the Men-at-Arms could focus solely on their military skills. Thus, they could participate in extended campaigns and travel in search of employment. This made sufficiently trained men available to all commanders with enough money.

How they play:
Although they range from motley mercenary troops to the well-trained and disciplined household forces of the great noble houses, constant war sorts out the incompetent and the fraudsters, making the Men at Arms the backbone of the Hundred Kingdoms' war machine. Readily available and reliable, the Men at Arms form the main battle line of the army, while the more mobile or impactful parts of a 100K force encircle and outmaneuver the enemy.
