Wurttemburg Cavalry Corps

With the Leib-Chevaulegers in the lead the combined cavalry of Wurttemburg marches forward into the bloody Napoleonic Wars of the early 1800's.
Guards, Mounted Jagers, and Line Chevaulegers round out the small but proud forces of Wurttemburg.



These are all 15mm metal pieces that I painted in the late 1970's.
