A kneeling, firing Westphalian infanteer takes aim at the enemy. A perfect figure for the front rank of a line or square! Raised by a Royal Edict in 1813 calling for all men aged between 18 and 45 to bear arms as and when needed in the defence of the country, the Landwehr were an integral part of the Prussian military during the Napoleonic wars. The performance of the Landwehr in combat varied mainly due to poor discipline and a lack of training. They stampeded on several occasions but also had some splendid actions. This version of the Landwehr infantry, the Westphalian Landwehr, is wearing green collars and cuffs. Second photo for comparison only, figures sold separately.Limited Edition of 100.
