Zvezda Military 1/72 French Cuirassiers 1807-15 (19 Mtd) Figure Kit
The cuirassiers were always the elite force of Napoleon’s army. Their crushing close-formation attacks were deservedly hailed as the decisive factor in Napoleon’s success! The French army under Napoleon was the first in Europe to concentrate its cavalry by type. The grouping of cuirassiers (heavy cavalry) into heavy divisions appears a distinctly French innovation, occurring around 1800 when the French armies were reorganized into brigades.
