Strelets M017 1/72 WWI Russian Infantry in Winter Uniform

While Muslim armies of the medieval period are largely famed for their horse archers those that drew the bow on foot were also important, particularly when attacking or defending a castle or town. Such archers could provide covering fire while other elements of their armies moved forward, although at longer ranges reports of crusaders having many arrows sticking in their armour yet being unhurt suggest the Frank’s heavier armour made the arrows much less effective.
