Smartly dressed in sombre dark uniforms the ranked columns of Prussian infantry marched steadily to face Napoleon. Even after suffering a bitter defeat Ligny; in the midst of retreat; the disciplined professional soldiers were still able to muster their resolve and turn to England's aid; falling on Napoleon's flank at the pivotal moment during the Battle of Waterloo.
Hundreds of men marched and fought in formation; led by able commanders; and supported by the furious roar of 12-pounder artillery batteries. The timing of Prussia’s arrival at Waterloo proved impeccable.
This plastic set provides enough models to field a complete brigade of three Prussian line or light infantry regiments of 80 men each;; one jägers regiment of 60 men; a 3-gun Foot Artillery 12-pdr battery and three mounted brigade commanders.
