A couple of questions regarding apostles in the 1690's
First off does the use of matchlocks automatically mean that apostles were also used by individuals carrying these weapons? Particularly in units where flintlocks seemed to be mixed with matchlocks (as it appears was more common than not in Ireland)?
Secondly, (if the answer to the first question is yes) it seems that nearly all French, English, Irish and Dutch units would fall into the mixed category except perhaps guard and Danish units. If this is true will there also be apostle toting figures with appropriate poses released to mix with the advancing, marching and at ease figures with flintlocks that are already available?
Thanks,
Tim
