Recreate historic real life wars and populate your battlefields with the Itali range of plastic figure models range.

Although Britain had been late to adopt light cavalry, by the wars with Napoleon there were many regiments of light dragoons, many of which were to be converted into hussars. During the Peninsular War these men had worn a uniform with braid and the Tarleton helmet, but to the dismay of the Duke of Wellington in 1812 they were given a new uniform which was designed with many similarities to the fashionable lancer uniform of the day, but with a bell-shaped shako on the head. The result was to make these men look very like French cavalry, yet clearly Horseguards felt this was secondary to the need to be fashionable. This was the uniform that was worn for the invasion of France in 1814 and the Waterloo campaign the following year.
