With some of our recently released Napoleonic cavalry plastic kits storming across tabletop battlefields around the world, we thought it's time to dust-off our Napoleonic Starter Army sets, and give them a bit of a refresh, to include some of the most recent releases.
The Portuguese and English clash against the French and her allies. Muster your forces with these new Napoleonic Peninsular campaign starter armies!
British Peninsular Campaign Starter Army
The Heavy Cavalry come with the heads to represent the dragoons – Some of you eagle-eyed historians may have noticed the Scott's Greys in the picture above. These are made from the Union Brigade Cavalry box which will also allow you to make Dragoon Guards. We were so busy that the studio hasn't had time to paint them!
This boxed set contains:
- 72 Plastic and metal British Line infantry
- 24 Plastic and metal Portuguese infantry
- Twelve plastic and metal British Union Brigade heavy cavalry
- Officer on horse
- British Royal Artillery 6-pounder cannon
- Full-color flag sheets
Defend the line at Vimeiro Hill. With you and Wellesley in charge, the thin red line of British and Portuguese troops will hold, but can you keep your cavalry in check?
British assistance in a force of 14,000 men under Lieutenant General Sir Arthur Wellesley landed at Mondego Bay, just north of the Portuguese capital. Wellesley met and defeated a small harassing French force under Delaborde at Roliça on the 17th August.
French Peninsular Campaign Starter Army
This boxed set contains:
- 96 French Line infantry
- Twelve French Chasseurs à Cheval cavalry
- Officer on horse
- 6-pounder cannon
- Full-color flag sheets
It's 1808, and you must march to Napoleon's orders. Muster your forces and advance on Vimeiro, Wellesley and the British must be crushed and driven back to the sea!
