FFL075 – Rifle Cavalry Shooting Sidewards
The rapid evolution of warfare during the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71) highlighted the continuing importance of cavalry, not only for reconnaissance and pursuit but also for engaging enemy forces with increasingly effective firearms. Mounted riflemen were expected to combine horsemanship with accurate shooting, often firing while manoeuvring across open ground or protecting the flanks of advancing infantry.
FFL075 – Rifle Cavalry Shooting Sidewards from Thomas Gunn Miniatures captures one of these skilled horsemen twisting in the saddle to engage a target to his flank. The dynamic pose conveys the speed and fluidity of mounted combat, where threats could emerge from any direction and split-second reactions often proved decisive.
Expertly sculpted with exceptional attention to uniform, equipment, and the movement of both horse and rider, this figure brings action and realism to any nineteenth-century battlefield display. Whether used as part of a cavalry patrol, a reconnaissance force, or a full-scale mounted engagement, it offers collectors an authentic representation of the versatility demanded of mounted troops during the period.
A superb addition for collectors looking to recreate the drama of nineteenth-century warfare, available from The Military Workshop.
