LEUT-07 – Prussian Grenadier Advancing #5
Also listed under LEUT-07 is Prussian Grenadier Advancing #5, another infantry pose for Frederick the Great's army.
Prussian battlefield success during the Seven Years' War depended heavily upon the ability of infantry to manoeuvre in formation and deliver disciplined musket fire. That demanded extensive drill: a battalion had to remain coherent while moving across ground that was rarely as perfect as a parade field.
At Leuthen, this discipline contributed to Frederick's famous attack against the Austrian left.
An advancing figure such as LEUT-07 is particularly useful for recreating that movement. Several advancing Grenadiers can be placed in successive ranks rather than an already established firing line.
With standards and officers incorporated into the formation, the scene can depict Prussian infantry in the process of executing the manoeuvre rather than simply its final result.
Available through The Military Workshop – another versatile John Jenkins Designs Prussian Grenadier for expanding Frederick the Great's advancing infantry at Leuthen.
Brand: John Jenkins
