Preview 𐍈 Prussian Archers for the February Release (Patreon)

Hi guys, here's a preview of the Prussian  archers for the next release coming out in the next few days. The bow  held significant importance in the Baltic regions, particularly among  the hunting communities in these less populated areas. It served as both  a weapon of war and a tool for survival in challenging climates. Unlike  Scandinavia or Continental Europe though, the crossbow didn't gain as  much popularity here among the locals. Though not well-represented in  the archaeological record, it's likely that Baltic bows were similar to  those used on the other side of the sea. However, variations in size and  weight may have existed: while longbows were known in Europe since the  early Bronze Age, smaller bows were probably preferred for hunting in  dense forests due to their easier handling.

These models also  have the new updated axes: for those who missed my previous story, axes  were carried by using a simple rectangular leather band, with a  longitudinal hole inside, which was simply wrapped around the belt and  the shaft of the axe was inserted into the resulting hole. Also, the  damage that transporting axes on the belt could cause to clothing and to  the wearer was taken as a serious issue: sheats were used, usually made  of bone or wood but also metal, usually tied with laces to the axe  head.
