HaT 1:72 Austrian Ammunition Wagon 8225

When any general put a Napoleonic army into the field he had to ensure it would be adequately supplied with all its many needs, and providing for so many men (such as the 135,000 Austrians at Wagram) using the transport infrastructure of early 19th century Europe was an enormous undertaking. Rations obviously made up much of this baggage, but with most of an army having some form of firearm the supply of ammunition was also a crucial part of the logistics.

For the Habsburg Empire such supplies were the responsibility of the Fuhrwesencorps, which controlled all baggage wagons as well as artillery teams, and indeed was closely related to the artillery, particularly once it was militarised in 1808. Such logistics are often overlooked today in favour of the more glamorous elements of an army, but HaT have produced a range of vehicles for the French army and this is their first for that of Austria.
