HaT 1:72 1805 French Grenadiers and Voltigeurs 8171

After the upheaval of the revolution France had to defend itself from several foreign powers and initially raised large numbers of conscripts, who partly compensated for their lack of training by sheer numbers. In time the revolutionary fervour died down, training and discipline returned to the army and their effectiveness increased, while under the guidance of Napoleon they reached a peak of effectiveness that was unrivalled. It was such fine soldiers that won the battle of Austerlitz in 1805, and would go on to many other victories over the following years.
