Backwater Deathworld

    My overview of Perry kits viable for my beloved late 15th century Pomeranians continues with this box that I bought quite a while ago, when I was already planning some Turnip miniatures, but knew nothing of epic highs and lows (mostly lows, though) of the Pomeranian Cow War of 1469 and related conflicts.  

  My Pomeranians are mostly built using plastic kits from Perry Miniatures. As I'm planning to build some cavalry, I'm figuring out what parts of Perry's Mounted Men at Arms 1450-1500 would work in my historical setting. Note: I am not a professional historian, and what I write below are educated guesses of a hobbyist with the experience of a few days at a local university library. Note 2: I'm checking historical accuracy for Pomerania only. The model kit by Perry may be perfectly historically accurate for other locations even when it doesn't match my own. 

  "44th Good Root Disciples pledge their arms to the defence of Geets. Our fathers died for hopeless causes, our grandfathers died for hopeless causes, and 43 Good Root Disciple regiments before us died for hopeless causes, and so we would gladly die for a hopeless cause as well. Our Banner may be Black like our Hope for Victory, but our Hearts are True. Geets Shall Stand! Cukier Krzepi!" --- ensign Barszcz, in the name of lieutenant Moszcz, who is currently suffering from a severe case of indigestion

  In the summer 1471, due to sluggish peace talks, the long and bloody war between Brandenburg and Pomerania was still not over. But Heske was in love for the first time in her life and it was the only thing that mattered. (the mini was hand-sculpted from scratch -- the background is historical, particular character stories are fiction)
