This essential 28mm metal command set features six uniquely sculpted Continental leaders in dynamic advancing poses, perfect for leading American infantry regiments during the War of Independence.
Lead your Continental line into the heart of the action with the American Command Advancing set by Perry Miniatures. This kit captures the determined leadership of the American Revolution, featuring officers and NCOs urging their men forward under fire. The set includes highly detailed figures such as an officer with a drawn sword, a standard bearer ready to deploy the regimental colors, and musicians to beat the cadence for the advance.
Cast in premium white metal, these figures exhibit the crisp anatomical detail and historical uniform accuracy that Perry Miniatures is renowned for. They are designed to seamlessly complement the broader American War of Independence (AWI) range, providing a heroic focal point for your plastic or metal infantry battalions.
