By Fire and Sword IMP-6 Imperial Infantry Regiment (Holy Roman Empire)

Description

By Fire and Sword - Imperial Infantry Regiment
Summary: Set of unpainted miniatures for By Fire and Sword.
By Fire and Sword is a 15mm scale historical wargame developed by Wargamer. This realistic, playable and dynamic wargame recreates the 17th century wars in Europe, focusing on the periods between 1640 and 1676; a time of almost constant warfare waged by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on all fronts, in many cases with several enemies at the same time.
As a result of the Thirty Years War, the Imperial infantry was reorganized. The lessons of this conflict led to a decrease in the numerical strength of regiments and changes in infantry tactics. In theory, regiments were to consist of 10 companies with 200 soldiers each, but in practise many of the newly recruited units had less companies and also companies often numbered fewer than 100 soldiers. Regiments still included pike and shot, although pikemen no longer used armor. Musketeers used both, older heavy muskets (with forks) and newer ones (without forks).
