Trail-arms Musketeers

This is the classic ‘at the double’ pose for the Prussian army of this period. The men were trained to advance this way until they reached the point where they were needed on the battlefield. They would then form up and advance in the usual ‘march-attack’ poses or advance with levelled muskets if in close proximity to the enemy. These figures never sell in large quantities but should from part of any Prussian collection. Note that some assembly is required with these figures as the musket needs to be glued to the figure.

Uniform Plates

Peter Bunde's Brigade plates are without doubt the best modern research into Napoleonic uniforms available on the market. They are presented in an A4 format with the plate on one side and the information on the reverse. These plates are my usual starting point for research if a plate on the subject is available. Whilst I do not always agree with his conclusions I have rarely
found an outright mistake in Peter's research - he just sometimes reaches different conclusions using the available research information. I recommend them unreservedly! Note that I only stock the plates which are relevant to my figures. Many other plates are available on Peter's website.

Artillery

Please note that all gun teams are in the process of firing the gun
