After Napoleon entered Paris and started the Hundred Days campaign; King William II of Prussia recalled Blu¨cher from his retirement in Silesia and set him the task of facing down the upstart Frenchman. He was placed in command of the Army of the Lower Rhine and quickly marched west to join the Anglo-Dutch allies; hoping to consolidate their forces.Unfortunately; the Prussian army was hastily assembled and pressed into the field ill-equipped and poorly trained. Over a third of the force was Landwehr (militia); some of which marched barefoot to war. At the Battle of Ligny the Prussian army faced Napoleon directly and was roundly beaten; Blu¨cher himself being trapped injured under his dead horse for hours. The Battle of Waterloo provided a chance at redemption.Contains:Bespoke A5 Softback Black Powder: Epic Battles RulebookFull-colour assembly and painting guideFull-colour flag sheet8 mounted Brigade commanders8 units of Prussian line infantry (80 men per unit)5 units of Landwehr infantry (80 men per unit)2 units of ranked up Jägers (80 men per unit)35 Skirmishing Jägers5 bases of Landwehr cavalry3 bases of Prussian Dragoons3 bases of Prussian Uhlans3 bases of Prussian Hussars2-pdr foot artillery battery (8 guns)1 6-pdr horse artillery battery (3 guns)Windmill MDF scenery piece6 D6 diceThis product is supplied unassembled and unpainted.
