Napoleonic warfare saw bewildering varie(es of exotic uniforms worn by the various armies. None were so exotic and magnificent as the Hussar regiments of the French army. Their outfits were inspired by Turkish, and later Hungarian, cavalry. Each of the fourteen regiments wore a different uniform, making a Hussar brigade an impressive sight. Mounted on small, tough horses, they were used in scouting and raiding roles. Their élan and dash made up for their smaller mounts and lack of armour on the field of battle. Armed with the curved light cavalry sabre they also carried a carbine, or a pistol. A standard unit size for French Hussars would be 12 in most games, this box allows you to make 13 mounted French Hussars, giving you the choice of fielding them with or without command models.
Contains: - 12 plastic easy-build French Hussars. - 1 additional metal officer and metal horse. - 1 additional metal bugler. - Optional metal arm for eagle bearer.
