About this Product
The Blood & Plunder Soldiers Unit Box adds a disciplined, versatile infantry option to your 17th-century forces.

Soldiers formed the backbone of professional armies during the 1600s, enforcing their nations’ will across the globe.

Historical Context Sidebar
European colonial expansion during the 17th century relied heavily on professional soldiers to project power overseas. These troops were stationed in garrisons or dispatched on campaigns to defend forts, enforce treaties, or repel rivals. Uniformed and disciplined, they stood in contrast to the more ad hoc forces of militias or privateers, and they played a key role in shaping the outcomes of colonial conflicts.
