Von Reutsch Hussar
Excellent almost 3D mold. Very good value foor your money!
Von Reusch Hussars were feared light cavalry that excelled in raiding and scouting. They were dressed in black with a skull and crossbones symbol on their mirliton.
This cavalry mould can be reused hundreds of times and you should be able to cast about 2 figures per metal ingot.
This was re-sculpted as the original figure (PA049B) did not have a well-sculpted face and lacked great detail.
The battle of Rossbach was fought on November 5th 1757 between the Prussian army of Frederick the Great and the combined armies of France and the German Empire under Soubize.
When the allied commanders noticed the Prussians moving back from their previous positions to behind a hill they mistakenly believed thy were retreating even before the battle begun and recklessly advanced to overtake and destroy them. The Prussians realising the allies error, prepared their cavalry and artillery just out of sight of the allies over the hill crest. As the Franco-German army surged up the hill, they were suddenly met by the Prussian cavalry at full gallop and the roar of artillery fire, which threw them into disarray. Despite valiant attempts by the French cavalry to halt the now advancing Prussian infantry and rank their own troops, the battle was lost and Prussia won the day.
