HaT 1:72 1806 Prussian Dragoons 8196

As the sun rose on the first day of 1806 Prussian cavalry enjoyed an excellent reputation, built on their successes in the previous century. However Prussia had had many years of peace prior to that year, so there had been no real test of that reputation. When war did erupt (the campaign of Jena) the cavalry were to be a disappointment to friend and foe alike, and the disasters of that year presaged great changes in the army as a whole.
