Todays release is something very different.
Civilian agricultural tools. These have been primarily designed for the 17th Century and can be used as general items or to arm pikemen across the range to make them engineer types , clubmen or badly armed recruits as seen in the early months of the war, notably Edgehill.
They are also useful in many of our other periods.
Scanian war in the UK
It's in my nature that I consider such things but we are, in Britain half there already. We could put a decent redcoat unit together for the Danes. Scanian War - Wikipedia

Mohacs 500
Augusztus 22-én útjára indul a történelmi lovas zarándoklat Érdről Mohácsra, hogy lóháton, emlékhelyről emlékhelyre haladva idézze fel az 1526-os mohácsi csata előtti napok eseményeit és tisztelegjen a hősök emléke előtt. 
Az 500. évforduló alkalmából mintegy 25 lovas indul útnak, hogy augusztus 28-án már várhatóan 80 lovassal érkezzen Sátorhelyre – a lovasokhoz idén is történelmi hajók csatlakoznak a Dunán!
On August 22, the historical horseback pilgrimage from Érdről to Mohács will set off, riding horseback, from memorial to memorial, to recall the events of the days before the Battle of Mohács in 1526 and to pay homage to the memory of the heroes.
About 25 horsemen will set out on the occasion of the 500th anniversary, and by August 28, an expected 80 horsemen will arrive in Sátorhely – this year, historical ships will also join the Danube for the horsemen!

When the present and history meet. The outdoor café guests probably choked on their wine when the 17th century came marching through town on Storgatan, which otherwise has almost exactly the same layout as it did 350 years ago. And it should be added that cannon blasts don’t sound a bit weak in real life. And that black powder smells like eggs.
