Black Powder Late French Light Infantry Napoleonic War Military Wargaming Plastic Model Kit
Price: $80.00
Model number: 302012001

From the Napoleonic Wars to the American Revolution to the Civil War to the Plain Wars and many other conflicts in between, Black Powder covers a significant period in history spanning almost 300 years, which encompasses an era of warfare defined by muskets and cannons fueled by nothing more than gunpowder.
Reenact pivotal battles in history within this tabletop combat game using dice, troops, and rules constructed by Warlord Games against one or more opponents.
Each brigade is led by a single commander. You can move your entire brigade altogether or give individual units their own orders. On each turn, verbal commands are agreed upon by both players and moved based on those verbal commands and the roll of the dice.
Built to be played on large tabletops, such as a pool table and multiplayer with as many people as you want, Black Powder was originally created to be a club game. A standard move is 12 ins for infantry, 18 in for Cavalry. Each player will need to have a measuring tape handy as they are not included.
Build, paint and play! The construction and painting of the models and watching them come to life are just as much fun as the game itself!

Not all of Napoleon's troops could make it through to the Guard, lifting themselves from the obscurity of the Line regiments, but the soldiers of Bonaparte's Light infantry regiments believed that they at least were a cut above the rest. In theory, they were both trained heavily in conventional 'heavy' infantry drill, but also in the intricacies of skirmishing, moving forward in pairs in extended order, making use of cover, and firing at specific targets in an attempt to rattle the enemy line. They wore similar uniforms to their comrades in the line, but generally wore distinctive blue trousers. Many Colonels spent serious cash on adding plumes and other ornaments to the men's uniforms, so a regiment in parade order would look very splendid indeed. In practice, most Light infantry regiments were used to batter their way through the enemy in line or column, the standard form of French attack, and they performed well. It was ultimately a French Light regiment that successfully stormed La Haye Sainte and Waterloo. Each boxed set contains: 24 plastic French infantry. Metal command group (2 officers, standard bearer, and a drummer). Standard poles and finials. Full color background leaflet containing several flags.
