Description
The chasseurs à cheval, a type of French light cavalry, date from 1743 when an independent unit (Fischer’s Volunteer Company of Chasseurs) was raised during the War of the Austrian Succession to counter Trenck’s Pandurs and Croats employed as irregulars by the Austrian army.
Distinguished by dark green uniforms and a bugle-horn badge, they were frequently used as advance scouting units providing valuable information on enemy movements.
Set consists of 10 regular cavalry strips + 5 command strips of fine 3D-printed models. Models are sold with print supports and need side-cutters and hobby knife to remove them.
