Italian Wars French Gendarmes Heavy Cavalry Command
Lead your men to death or glory with the final hurrah of the armoured knight!
The French Gendarme (literally âman at armsâ) was the ultimate evolution of the medieval knight, who had dominated European warfare for centuries. Fully encased in the pinnacle of plate armour technology, tilting a lance at the enemy, and thundering into combat on horseback, he was in many ways something of an anachronism when compared to the artillery and infantry arrayed against him. Nevertheless, Gendarmes proved that they could still be lethally effective when well used, and while the Italian Wars would prove something of a swansong, theyâre an essential part of any Pike & Shotte battlefield in the period. This pack gives you the essential commanders to lead your Gendarmes into the fray.
