Description

Hussars are mounted light cavalry, useful in scouting or harrassing the enemy. They also make good troops for chasing fleeing enemy or surprise attacks. They are not suitable for frontal attacks against prepared infantry as they wear little in the way of protection and their horses are chosen for speed not strength.

On average this black rubber mould should be able to cast about two mounted semi-flat cavalry from every ingot of metal.

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.
