A good soldier
I had never heard of Prussia before I started shopping here. After doing my research I am excited to have the option to cast, and paint Prussian soldiers. This is a solid mould. I am happy to have this combatant in my army.
Prussia was a powerful state that had excellent soldiers, and the elite of these were promoted to Grenadier. These were the tallest, strongest and bravest infantry the army could recruit and train.
This black rubber mould can be used hundreds of times to cast 40mm scale metal Grenadiers. These are semi-flat figures and a single bar of Model metal should provide enough material to make 5 of them on average, provided the ingates are remelted after each cast.
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.
