Zvezda Military 1/72 French Voltigeurs Elite Infantry (1805-1813) Figure Set
Voltigeurs were élite light infantry of the line regiments. In 1805, Napoleon ordered that the smallest, most agile men of the line battalions be chosen to form a Voltigeur company. These troops were to be second only to the Grenadiers in the battalion hierarchy. In Voltigeur training, emphasis was placed on marksmanship and quick movement.
