Czech Out These Knights

I WAS hopeful that a visit to Olomouc in the Czech Republic would prove fruitful from a toy-soldier viewpoint, and I was not disappointed.

Knightly array

This Knight Playset, made in China and distributed in Europe by a Dutch company, cost 119 Czech crowns - well under £5, even at today's unfavourable (from a British perspective) exchange rates.
The pack is divided into two armies - Black and Grey.
Black has 16 dismounted figures, two mounted figures, a flag depicting a lion or (gold) rampant on a field of gules (red), two mounted figures, and a large catapult.
Grey has 16 dismounted figures, a flag depicting a lion vert (green) rampant on a field of or (gold), and a bombard.
Remarkably, perhaps, both the catapult and the bombard work. That is, the catapult hurls a "stone" ball a considerable distance through the air, while the bombard has a spring-loading mechanism that allows it to fire a similar ball along the ground.
The bombard's range is shorter, but the flat trajectory of its shot could well make it deadlier.

The two armies, Black and Grey, lined up on a table in my hotel bedroom

The dismounted figures come in a pleasing variety of poses, while the asymmetry created by the different artillery, and by Black being the only side to have mounted figures, should pose interesting problems when the armies go into battle.
I am leaning towards a War of the Roses scenario, to account for the huge percentage of dismounted figures, with Little Wars-style rules, but will give it some considered thought before I return to England.
