Trailing the Pike

For much of the Civil War, an army would consist of larger numbers of musketeers than of any other soldier. By 1645, a Regiment of Foote would look to recruit 2/3 of its soldiers to join the Divisions of ‘Shotte’, where they were armed with the ‘Matchlock Musket’ and trained to inflict leaden death upon their enemies…
Artillery
To soldiers in the 1640s, one of the most frightening sights would have been to spy the looming presence of artillery across the battlefield
