My French army is designed to meet the hated English during the battle of Agincourt. The figures are all from Perry with suitable armour and weapons for the early 15th century. The force could easily be used for the Burgundian or Breton faction as well, especially with the inclusion of armoured Ordonnance men-at-arms.
Heroes: The French force can call onto a range of commanders and legendary heroes in Saga. Most of these are from Perry with some Medbury and the dismounted Jeanne d’Arc from Bad Squiddo.
