Napoleonic battlefields depended on disciplined infantry, cavalry, standards and officers directing movement under pressure. Each formation had its own identity and role within the larger army.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFoot Dragoon Advancing Shoulder Arms is defined in part by its advancing position. That gives the figure a specific purpose when combined with soldiers in complementary poses, helping create a formation with natural variety and a clear direction of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA mounted subject immediately introduces motion and a different level within the scene. Cavalry and horsemen can be presented on patrol, at the halt or caught in the urgency of action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a display based on a Napoleonic firing line, cavalry charge or field headquarters, position the subject where its role is evident at first glance. Even modest scenery can add depth and atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConsider the direction of the mount when arranging a group: a line of movement helps a small number of figures suggest a much larger formation. Officers and dismounted troops can reinforce the moment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollectors can build outward from this piece with Napoleonic infantry, officers, mounted men and standard bearers, letting each addition contribute a different aspect of the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece also invites an appreciation of the movement, uniform traditions and command of the period. It is a useful reminder that a historical scene can be told through an individual detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is equally suitable as a stand-alone subject or as one part of a carefully arranged story from the same range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow available from The Military Workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"King \u0026 Country","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53419518230810,"sku":"NA494","price":79.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/0154\/0890\/files\/NA494.jpg?v=1794305160","url":"https:\/\/themilitaryworkshop.com\/products\/na494","provider":"The Military Workshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
