(SALE)ITALERI 1/72 FRENCH INFA
French light infantry had many names -- Chasseurs, Tirailleurs, Voltigeurs -- but they all served essentially the same purpose. They provided a highly mobile, highly trained advance force that engaged the enemy in loose order and harassed them by sniping at officers, drummers, standard bearers and other key elements of the command structure. Their fire was accurate and deadly and the greater mobility offered by not worrying about marching in ranks made them a useful tool in the hands of a master of maneuver like Napoleon. Kit features 48 highly detailed figures.
