I have been playing some of the Perfect Captains Spanish Fury Pistolado/Battles for the Wars of Religion. I really enjoy the game but have been using a mixture of War of the Roses and English Civil War figures to play out the battles. I need more period specific troops.
First I need Reiters/pistoliers and Cuirassiers/gendarmes fighting with sword and pistols. I am assuming the best figure for Reiters will be the Thirty Years war figure YW3, Cavalry, pistol, bugonet or possibly the ELM34 SHC with pistol. Although SHC w/pistol may be too heavily armored to work as a Reiter/Pistolier.
For the Cuirassiers/Gendarmes with sword/pistol, I think the EC11 ECW Cuirassier will work best perhaps mixed with the ELM34 SHC w/pistol.
So does anyone have photos of the ELM34 SHC w/pistol and the YW3 Cavalry with pistol, burgonet? I would like to see if they are really close enough to use for Wars of Religion.
Also if anyone is interested, here are a couple of good threads from TMP on Reiters/Cuirassiers and Wars of Religion Landsknechts:

Looks like it is going to be hard to do Landsknechts for Wars of Religion.
Here is YW3 (you can click the image to see it in detail)

The links you had are superb!
Hi,
I'm also looking for figures for late 16th and very early 17th century European wars. What figures are you using?
This is what I used for my Austrian Cavalry:
Reiters: EC11, YW3, ELM34
Lancers: EL8, EL9, ER12, ELM28
Mounted Arquebus: YW4, P13, EC12
Hungarians/Hussars: P2, P3, YW3, EL10, OT6
