This Perry Miniatures set depicts the unit’s mounted command on standing horses, perfectly suited for recreating the campaigns of 1813–1814. Collectors and wargamers alike will appreciate the historical accuracy and sculpting finesse that make these figures ideal for dioramas, displays, and tabletop battles.
