There are several Death Fields teams that originally hale from the highlands, lowlands, and islands of Scotland, but perhaps none has made as much of a name for themselves as the Highlanders.
The core of the team were Jacobite soldiers taken from the defeat at Culloden in 1745. The team was at the smaller end of roster numbers to start and lost members through natural attrition over the centuries. Not understanding the history and only focused on the geography, the owner continued to add “similar” members to the team. A large portion of the new recruits came from the Black Watch – loyalists to the crown and traditional enemies of the other Highland Clans.
This led to intra-team rivalries and feuds, and depending on the era the Highlanders were as much enemies as allies of the Bulldogs. Today, the team is much diminished but has made a name for themselves as shock troops and line breakers. They are often added as specialist troops to other teams and have become more closely allied with the Bulldogs over the years and share much of the same equipment.
This five figure set is 100% compatible with the Bulldogs plastic set.
