Description
1-100 Prussian Soldiers 1815 Pack # 1 Set# 05-Reserve Infantry Style B
1/100 (15mm) scale Prussian Soldiers of 1815 (Waterloo) for Wargaming. Many of these uniforms were holdovers from the Wars of Liberation, 1813-1814, so these figures could be used for that period also.
There were many variations in uniforms and personal equipment worn by Prussian soldiers of this timeframe. Some figures in different sets vary by only a few details such as jacket/coat style or backpacks. I divided these figures into three Packs, each of which includes several related Sets. The letters A, B, C, etc are my designations, nothing historical or official.
The Kurassiers and Cossacks were not present at Waterloo and are not included here.
For lances, I use brass rod, 0.020" diameter, 1" (25.4mm) long. I flatten one end with a small hammer and file it to a point.
