Title: Prussian 16th Division VIII Corps 1870
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 07 April 2013, 08:14:08 PM
Ready for Thursday, 16th Division VIII Corps.
In my 1870 Campaign, they've been in action 3 times now, so I might as well have them for real.
They are also useful as they turned up late evening at Mars-La-Tours and were part of Von Steinmetz command at Borney and Saarbruken and were all but destroyed by Frossard's II Corps at Gravelotte-Saint Privat.

Loving the hussar blue, it's really striking, brings the figures to life.

Only the hussars survived, the rest were cruelly ambushed by the French!

Thank you. They were intended for Volley and Bayonet, but now they get used for Black Powder!  ;D
