Black Powder: Napoleonic Prussian Foot Artillery with 6 or 12 pdr (1813-1815)

Famously described as an ‘army with a country attached’, Prussia during the latter period of the Napoleonic Wars was a highly militarised state whose very survival depended on the strength of its army. While not as renowned as the infantry or cavalry, nor as numerous as the Landwehr militia, Prussian artillery was a crucial part of the army, delivering vital fire support to the troops. ‘Foot’ artillery comprised the majority of an army’s guns of sizes from 6-pdrs upwards, and would usually be emplaced in a tactically advantageous position before a battle. From here, massed batteries would rain down devastation on the foe from afar, and if all went to plan, would not need to redeploy during the fighting! An essential part of any Black Powder force, and able to be assembled as either a 6-pdr or heavier 12-pdr, this mighty weapon is ready to take to the tabletop in support of your forces!
