Tiraspol Mounted Jäger Regiment

With this unit of mounted jägers the great Allied cavalry expansion is almost completed…for now (there may yet be some Prussian landwehr cavalry and another regiment of cuirassiers). At the same time I do not see the need to expand the Russian cavalry since there are now two cuirassier, five dragoon, two mounted jäger, one hussar, one uhlan and four Cossack regiments in the collection - I figure that gives me enough variety for scenarios.





Also completed are three command bases, two brigadiers…

…and a higher command base…although the senior officer here is still waiting for a horse.

Here is the whole Mounted Jäger brigade

All of this horse flesh, plastic and metal, is ready to hit the gaming table in a large all cavalry fight this weekend.

  1. Another nice-looking addition Mark - I don't think you can ever have enough/too much cavalry in a Napoleonic army, can you?!

    1. Well with a 1:1 ratio (12 battalions and 12 regts of cavalry - 16 if I count the Cossacks) I think I may have just too many cavalry…mind you there was this purchase of more infantry just the other day…

  2. Another lovely unit Mark. Should be a great looking game with all this cavalry on the table. Last one for the year at Barry's?

    1. We have never played an all cavalry game so it should be interesting with as many as 35 units a side. Yes the last game for the year at Barry’s - or anywhere since it will be Christmas the following Sunday.

  3. Mark, if there is unoccupied space on your table, then you are allowed more cavalry. Very nicely done, hope they find the general's horse soon.

    1. There may well be some more units available, but with 64 ready to appear on the table, it is going to be tight. Sadly the general’s horse is some way off - all purchases are suspended until after Christmas…

    I am looking forward to seeing all the cavalry in action.

    All the best. Aly

    1. Thanks Aly. It should make for an interesting game to see out the year…we have never played all cavalry action before.
