The box contains 13 mounted dragoons; eight dismounted (this allows for horse holders); six casualties (French and British Infantry); unit bases and painting guide. Torsos for the correct ratio of troopers for the elite company are included; both in helmets and the old bearskins retained by some regiments.
The dragoon's traditional role of dismounting to fire using long musketoons was still on occasion performed; but since 1800 they had evolved into regular cavalry (excluding the 1805-6 period when foot battalions were formed). The box includes mounted and dismounted figures to allow their full range of duties to be represented
