The set contains the English (Saxon) and Norman armies, each providing unique advantages and disadvantages. Reflecting the Northen traditional tactics, the Saxon army is organized in tight, single unit shield-walls, where axe, spear, and sword clashes predominate. It’s great for short-range encounters, faces enemy attacks with resilience, but moves slower. In contrast, the Normans reflect the continental approach, employing a versatile mix of Heavy Cavalry, Spearmen, and Missile troops. The Norman army is more mobile, performs well in long-range attacks, but must keep its distance from the enemy. It relies on series of attacks aimed at gradually weakening the opponent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe StarterPack contains:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigital wargaming rules (basic \u0026amp; advanced) by Andy Callan, available for free on our website\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e443 figurines on 5 Plexiglass sprues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnglish Army with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 bases of Heavy Infantry with axes and spears\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 bases of Select Fyrd (well-equiped Militia Spearmen)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 bases of Great Fyrd (poorly-armed Levies and Archers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Commander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNorman Army with:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e18 bases of Heavy Cavalry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 bases of Armored Mercenary Spearmen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12 bases of Archers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Commander\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe WoFun bases for this set measure 30x20mm each, are made from MDF (2.5mm thickness), and come printed in green (grass texture).
