Santa Anna's Soldier Biting Open a Fresh Cartridge, Remember the Alamo
Biting open a paper cartridge was the standard 18th and 19th century military technique to rapidly reload a muzzle-loading musket. Soldiers tore off the paper tail with their teeth to expose gunpowder, allowing them to pour it into the barrel and then ram the ball in, speeding up the firing rate to 2-3 shots per minute.
'AT THE GATES OF THE ALAMO'
San Antonio, Texas and The Alamo itself has played (and continues to play) a major part in the King & Country story. It's where we have our fantastic 'King & Country Texas' store... it's also where K&C's cofounder Laura McAllister Johnson lives and works and, of course, it is the world-famous site of the historic Alamo and the inspiration behind our 'Remember The Alamo' range of fighting figures.
Just a couple of months back, we launched our newest and best Santa Anna's Infantrymen to extend this series, and now we're introducing some very useful reinforcements...
Released in APRIL 2026.
