It is well established that the military forces in action during Regia’s period of interest were not simple peasants armed with pitch forks and shovels. They were well equipped, well trained professional soldiers. As such, at the majority of Regia events, it would not be appropriate for someone to take to the battlefield intending to use agricultural equipment as weapons.<br>
However there are, on rare occasions, circumstances where armed peasants would be appropriate, such as a raid on a village where the people have to rely on whatever they can lay their hands on to defend themselves.<br>
