British Light Cavalry Brigade

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).

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.

This plastic set provides enough models to field a complete brigade of three British heavy cavalry regiments (two bases of Royal Scots Greys, three bases of Household Cavalry and six bases of Heavy Dragoons) and a 3-gun battery of Royal Horse Artillery 6-pdrs.

The Zouave Regiments (or Zouave Inspired Regiments) were used by both the Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War.

Cavalry played a pivotal role in all conflicts up to and including the American Civil War, however it is fair to say that the use of cavalry was forever changed during the War.
