The most famous Generals and Marshals of the Napoleonic Wars, all mounted on the appropriate horses, at £2.50 each. Some are instantly recognisable even to me, ‘Fan of the Samurai’ that I am, but to a Napoleonic gamer I’m sure there would be no trouble in spotting who is who.
PX 32 Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte
PX 33 Marshal Soult, Duke of Dalmatia
PX 34 Marshal Massena, Duke of Rivoli
PX 35 Marshal Ney,. 'Bravest of the Brave
PX 36 Marshal Murat, King of Naples
PX 37 The Duke of Wellington
PX 38 The Earl of Uxbridge
PX 39 General Beresford
PX 40 General Picton
PX 41 General Crauford
PX 30 British Command set
Mounted Major General with telescope, Captain/ADC arriving with dispatch and doffing bicorne, ADC on foot presenting a despatch. The general comes in two halves, but fits together perfectly. £4.00 per set.
PX 31 French Command set
Mounted French General de Brigade, pointing and passing message, ADC in Hussar senior officer's uniform on a galloping horse with leopard skin shabraque, [he is flying!] ADC on foot taking message. £4.00 per set.
Both sets of figures are not only extremely useful but very adaptable and up to the normal high standard that one expects of RE.
British Heavy Cavalry, Horse or Life Guards
