Expeditionary Force British 95th Rifles Photos
Greetings from Singapore!
Very pleased to inform you of the coming release of a new set in the “54mm Napoleonic Wars – British Regiments (1812-1815)” range.
54 BRT 11 95th Rifles
The set will be available for shipment by 27 July 2020 if not earlier.
54 BRT 11 British 95th Rifles
This box-set contains nine figures comprising of 1 officer and 8 riflemen with a set of optional arms to assemble a bugler.
Their bayonets are not fixed upon the rifles as the weight makes aiming more tiring. Also, as they engage at long ranges, having a fixed bayonet was not warranted.
The officer of the Rifles is dressed in a hussar uniform. As light infantry seek out rough terrain for actions, the fur pelisse is only worn on parade.
For the Napoleonic British (1812-1815) army series, this set marks the end of the series.

Looking forward to your kind support.
Cheers,

60mm Medieval Peasants’ War (14th Century)
The French Jacquerie of 1358 and the English Wat Tyler’s Peasants Revolt of 1381 form the historical context for the design of these models.
Nice in all and once again congrats in EXF releasing so much sets included many never done before .very well done historical and plenty standar action poses .
Personally 95th had been overdone (AIP,EB,ACTA,Replicant..) for a unit that fought in specific battles only and was very small plus particular uniform very different to be used as others unless strong over paint and conversion.I will skip this set as i do not need have all coming in specific units in my personal view .I understand it is been done base/or because the non historical aventure se- mi comedy Sharpe tv shows popularity and that is why will have plenty buyers …
Armed peasant set is multi use for many century warfare set .Great addition set!! .The japanese well over done too and repeated some poses but a plus still as generic soldier unit to be used from 1936-1945 period .
my thoughts
Been a month since I sent payment to expiditonary force,,asked 3 times about my order,,
FYI: on 6/29, I received an order from Singapore to CT that shipped on 4/29. Everything from overseas, especially Asia to America, is delayed in customs. Even an order from Germany shipped on 6/11 didn’t arrive until 7/13. Before the pandemic, items from Germany used to take 7 days. The irony is, higher prices for slower services.
I received a refund from them,,purchase from U S dealers only,,the figures are terrific,,
Don’t be surprised if your shipment from Singapore still shows up.
All shipping has delays .depending in many private hired company third party used by regular carriers in world the shipping may take longer than others.
From HK and Asia it may take from 1 to 3 month easy.
Prices will go far high soon in all shipping worldwide Pandemic has affect all and benefit many others well.

My recent Mars 1/32 order went from the Ukraine to Poland then to Germany and then to Memphis TN before it made it to me.
Only 6 poses shown for the Medieval Peasants. Hopefully the other 3 are Archers. The older sets of English and French only had 1 and the Longbow was such an important weapon for the British.
Peasant armies were generally poor trained militia forced or conscript or some time rebellion motivated.
They barely used bows.
Those weapons were most used by sergeants,ment at arms and mercenaries r well trained soldiers and mounted non knight cavalry well trained.
The EXF is correct depicted.
They may do non peasant army sets as well.

Medieval peasants were only allowed , by law to carry a dagger no bigger than the with of a hand, no swords unless stolen !
That’s why they are always shown with farming implements, pitchforks etc. as weapons. The concept being that a knight or man at arms would have a sword of Halberd which would give them a distance advantage. Nor would they use the long bow – a military weapon. Peasants would use a short hunting bow which had a smaller range
I may be wrong but I thought in England and Wales from Longshanks onward that Archery practice was mandatory for males. I thought this included Peasant males. Since Sunday was the day off it was required along with Mass. Maybe the local Lords kept the Longbows under lock and key and were lent out for practice but when the levies were called up I thought that the Peasants made up the rank and file of the Archers/Longbowman. The Men-At-Arms and Crossbowman being from a higher class of Freeman. So if the Ex Force Peasants are only meant as rebellious than these are rightly depicted but if they depict a levy there should be Longbowman. The Longbow mercenaries were part of the English Army in France that depended on their looting income and at times of peace would sign on as mercenaries for whoever paid.
Ok.as far I recall and aproximatelly.
Peasant armies used by medieval armies are not trained peasant conscript and not paid and force to fight generally in order to pay their debts as in service of their Lord.
So if u do not have food or money to pay u taxes you offer u self as way of payment to pay it in combat.
Generally 6 month time frame .
Bowman could come come from peasant stock but were trained men soldier w a paid rate of 6D least per day and they become yeomen by military social service status.so they belong to a lower class in ecence once they become archer or bowman .
Those men only.no every peasant train every sunday or more days all year or as weather permit.
Ment at arm are special trained soldiers often paid double of the bowman and generally in charge protect the bowman’s during close combat.they carry partial armor often given by lords, from spoils or bought .
They fought on foot and some mounted.
A men at arms could become a Sargent by experience and merit.
Best .
In Wales and England all men 15-60 were required to practice. They grew up from young boys learning the craft of Longbow shooting. When they were called up they were already trained. The Peasant revolt in England in 1381 was lead by Tradesman but every male involved knew how to shoot a Longbow and many among them were capable of making bows and arrows, Fletchers, et..,Wat Tyler was a Baker and one of the main reasons the King and nobility feared this mob were the trained Archers. Again Peasants from mainland Europe would most likely not have Bowman but in England and Wales it was different.
EXCITED to see some SCALE COMPARISON SHOTS!!!
For the WWII Japanese.
