When the call to war comes, every peasant able to fight must serve in the armies of Bretonnia, a willingness reinforced by the promised bounty of a copper coin for any who survive the campaign. A few are pressed into service alongside the standing companies of men-at-arms, bulking out ranks thinned by casualties or sickness. However, most are employed as levies of longbowmen who are expected to engage enemies unworthy of a knight's attention. Though the tenets of the chivalric honour forbid a knight to use any kind of missile weapon, there is, of course, no such restriction on the peasants who are not expected to know better. Though the wage of a peasant archer could be judged pitiful by most standards, to the commoners of Bretonnia it is a princely wage indeed. Most parents will encourage their offspring to practise with a bow so they might increase the family's earnings. Unlike men-at-arms, peasant bowmen are not equipped from the armouries of the castle and turn up to battle in all manner of garb. Likewise, their longbows will often be their own possessions, handed down from father to son (though it is a rich family that can afford more than a single bow) and accordingly can be of variable quality. To make their numbers count, these longbowmen congregate into huddled units on the battlefield, directing volley after volley into the enemy. Like men-at-arms, peasant bowmen are not very reliable if left to their own devices, but under the stern gaze of a knight can aspire to adequate, though not exceptional, deeds. Peasant Bowmen are a Core unit choice in a Bretonnian army. They may be fielded in regiments of 10+.

BRETONNIAN BOWMEN BOXED SET The Bretonnian Bowmen boxed set contains enough plastic parts to assemble to assemble sixteen (16) Bretonnian Bowmen and Defensive Stakes.
