Tribal Command (Early Germans)
The set contains 8 model soldiers plus 2 horse models comprising of 2 mounted and 2 foot chieftains, and 4 unarmoured warriors in tunic. The heads and arms are inter-changeable to permit permutation of various action postures. Various extra heads, arms and accessories are provided to allow for the assembly of officers, champions (axemen), standard-bearers, and horn-blowers.
The Germans were weak numerically in cavalry and the Suebian, at least, often supplemented the ranks of its cavalry with runners who would run alongside the horsemen and join in the melee with the enemy. In rapid movement, these runners would hold on to the mane or tails of the horses to keep pace.
