    Swiss halberdiers and crossbowmen

    Right, the army is now finished in terms of pure Swiss units, Under WRG6th lists it can be made up with various allies, I'll be using various other figures from my collection for this. Longer term I would like to add some more crossbowmen and some handgunners (wish Strelets would bring out a set of these) So Halberdiers, this are organised exactly the same as the pike, with 8 figures to be attached to each cantonal pike block. For those who like to see these things, here's a close up of the halberds, made using paper/card added to the end of a welded on bit of florists wire. The shiny one was an attempt to fix the part provided in the set, it looks OK from this direction, but wasn't worth the effort. Crossbowmen, the flag was a copy from the Osprey book.
