Patriot Models has just released the first figures from the Brunswicker series for the Napoleonic Collection. These figures are 1:30 scale (60mm) with a matt finish. Patriot Models has released 3 pieces so far, with an additional 3 being released in September. The figures available at www.BgsToySoldiers.com today are:
PTNA036 - Brunswicker Fixing Bayonet
PTNA037 - Brunswicker Standing Firing
PTNA038 - Brunswicker Kneeling Firing
These pieces are modeled after the Black Brunswickers formed in 1809 during the Napoleonic wars. They were formed by the German Duke, Frederick William. The Brunswickers are named after Brunswick of Germany at the time, because they conquered and held the city for a short time from Napoleon and the French. They were later driven from Brunswick . They then joined up with British forces and participated in the Waterloo Campaign. On June 16th 1815, Fredrick fell in the Battle of Quatre Bras. The Brunswickers eventually disbanded in early 1820.
