What If Battle Part 2 : British Line VS Musketeer

[- Spark -]

This is my second battle of my new series called What If Battles? This is where i place British line infantry against opponents they may have not encountered.

Location: Normandy, France

Date: 1700’s

Brief Story: As the British come down a dirt road in France, little do they know three Musketeers are ready to attack... Who do you think will win?

One shot in the chest and the musketeer is finished...

Well, It would be an interesting fight I guess.

haha! Well that is true but the Musketeers wouldnt go down without a fight atleast

[Skipper]

Obviously the British, the Musketeers have fencing foils (and they've left the balls on the end)!

Nice MOC, the faces on the Musketeers suit them very well. Why are there bars on the rock formations?

I love your scene, looks exciting. but why didn't you arm the musketiers with muskets? I thought they had those. I think that would be a more honest fight, now with only swords.

Although the british infantry line were also musketeers ;) so the best question would be would the French or the English win, as they are both musketeers; soldiers armed with a musket.

Because i was going for the time when the musketeers used there swords mainly

I thought the word musketter derived from the word musket?

Anyway, I think the ruined house is quite well done, and so is the battle itself. The quality of the whole MOC has improved a lot since the first part, IMO.

Yeah, this time round the British, swords vs guns.....sadly a shot in the head means you are generally dead !

I look forward to your next one in the series '- Spark -'.

The Idea of Rapier-wielding Musketeers can be blamed on the 1960s Film.

I'd love to see a Matchlockmusket for Minifigs

Ah well i remember seeing the one with charlie sheen

Ah, so you were going for the time of...never.

Given the ambush scenario and proper armaments the French MUSKETeers would obviously win.

i did not know that i was just going by what film i saw

on second thought I totally back up Sparks on his choice for film based musketeers, the whole Lego mini-fig is not historically correct, as far as I know it is not supplied with Muskets. And this is a 'what if' topic so anything could be :)

[Horry]

If we would be talking about historical accuracy in Lego sets it could get reaaally messy

So I'll just say that I really like your vivid style of fotography and the set-up of this scene.

Your painted backpacks look great. The hats are another story. Are you going to do pirates vs. ninjas? I've been wanting to do that for a while now.

That is a great possibility because i have a couple of ninjas

In that case you should go by the new movie coming this fall and add steampunk airships. Looks like a lot of fun.

The film looks good, and that may have given me another idea for a battle

I do agree that this looks much better than the first (and that was pretty good).

The photography looks great, and the whole scene is very well built. I especially like the musketeer hiding behind the ruins, his pose is perfect!

And I still stand by my point that you'll have to do 'British VS Robots' some day.
