Russian Napoleonic Infantry 1809-14The
figures in this box represent a battalion of a Russian Infantry
regiment from 1809-1814. All figures have the option of the 1809 or 1812
kiwer (shako) or forage caps. The 1809 kiwer continued in use alongside
the 1812 pattern until late in the war. The 1811 regulations stipulated
that a grenadier platoon was attached to each battalion , these are
also included in the box. The figures can be painted as a regular
‘Infantry’ battalion, or that of Jagers or Marines.There are 40 figures in the box as well as unit bases, flags and painting guide.
Plastic Prussian Napoleonic Line Infantry and Volunteer Jagers (46 figures)The
set comprises of 40 Line Musketeers/Grenadiers plus a detachment of 6
Volunteer Jaegers which were often attached to regiments. The 40
infantry will give you a full strength battalion at 20:1. We’ve gone for
the traditional march attack pose for the Line infantry and, as they’re
advancing at speed, we’ve made the Jaegers ‘at trial’, firearms in one
hand and their Hirschlangers in the other (!) There are enough heads
with covered shakos for all the figures in the box. In addition there
are heads with the Line Feldmutze and peaked Schirmutze for the Jaegers
as some units had them. Likewise the Jaeger belly pouch is separate as
some Volunteer Jaeger units had them. Most figures are in 3 pieces as we
realise people like to build up units quickly, so you’ll get head ,
equipment (knapsack, haversack, cartridge box, short sword and half the
greatcoat are in one piece) and body to put together.The command frame comprises of one officer, one standard bearer, one drummer and an NCO.
