The Zouave Regiments (or Zouave Inspired Regiments) were used by both the Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War.
The most basic infantry building block was the infantry regiment (referred to as a “battalion” in Hardee’s drill manual, which was used by both sides). In both North and South the infantry regiments were organised on similar lines.
The Iron Brigade (or black hats) was an infantry brigade in the Union Army of the Potomac, formed of regiments of three now Midwest states.
After losing to Napoleon in 1806 the Treaty of Tilsit neutered the Prussian army, allowing the once proud country only a tiny standing army. Despite ingenious efforts to circumvent the wording of the treaty, the Prussian army that mustered to fight in the Hundred Days campaign was mostly made from volunteer Landwehr militia (literally, country defenders).
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.
Thousands of cavalry rode with the Prussian army, forming intimidating walls of charging horse flesh. The Dragoons formed the shock heavy cavalry, pounding the enemy, while the more numerous Hussars acted as the eyes and ears of the divisions. It was brave lance-armed Uhlans that charged to Blüchers rescue at Ligny. Following behind, ahead of the main army, were the skirmishing Jäger (hunter) light infantry.
Box contains 18 Epic Battles: Napoleonic Prussian casualty markers in Warlord Resin.
The village of Plancenoit saw bitter hand-to-hand fighting and close quarters carnage as von Bülow's Prussian IV Korps entered the fray at Waterloo. Will your French army wrestle back control of this key strategic position for the Emperor or will your grim and resolute Prussians sweep away the hated French and carry victory for von Blücher's army?
Can you succeed where Napoleon Bonaparte's French Army failed? Can you capture the farm at Papelotte from the Allied garrison before the Prussians enter the field during the battle of Waterloo, or will your valiant Nassau defenders see off the savage assaults of Les Bleus?
Marching once again to glory, the Grande Armée of Imperial France is set on crushing its enemies in a decisive battle. Taking to the field once again are France's stalwart and loyal commanders, led by ‘Boney’ himself, Napoleon Bonaparte. ‘Vive L'Empereur!’
When the upstart Napoleon marched to war once again, the Seventh Coalition of European powers quickly gathered to halt him. The cream of British and Allied commanders took to the field, led by ‘Old Nosey’ himself, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington.
With Napoleon once again on the rise, the Prussians wasted no time in mustering against him, spoiling for a fight. The Army of the Lower Rhine marched across Europe to join the Allies, led by the fiery General Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher.
