The Landwehr were militia formed from teenagers through to men in their forties. They were plucked from their fields, shops and offices and enrolled into the Prussian military machine to enlarge the forces that could finally depose Napoleon, the Tyrant of Europe. Prussia was a small State but her armies were well-trained and burning to avenge their past defeats. The Landwehr consisted of over sixty battalions and were equipped and trained as time and money allowed. A cheap but warm coat, comfortable cap and a musket were considered uniform enough to get thousands of troops out into the field for the restricted Prussian army of the time. The Landwehr fought bravely in the later wars of the period, fighting hard in the 1813 campaigns and ultimately at the climax of the Hundred Days campaign that was Ligny and Waterloo. Ill-equipped and half-trained they may have been, but after a few months hard fighting they went on to fight with determination alongside their brothers in the Prussian Line regiments. Full with content, this box set contains: 24 Plastic Prussian Landwehr Militia. 2 Metal command (officer and drummer). A 4-page background guide. 11 full-color flags.

Build, paint and play! The construction and painting of the models and watching them come to life are just as much fun as the game itself!. Built to be played on large tabletops, such as a pool table and multiplayer with as many people as you want, Black Powder was originally created to be a club game. A standard move is 12 ins for infantry, 18 in for Cavalry. Each player will need to have a measuring tape handy as they are not included. Each brigade is led by a single commander. You can move your entire brigade altogether or give individual units their own orders. On each turn, verbal commands are agreed upon by both players and moved based on those verbal commands and the roll of the dice. Reenact pivotal battles in history within this tabletop combat game using dice, troops, and rules constructed by Warlord Games against one or more opponents. From the Napoleonic Wars to the American Revolution to the Civil War to the Plain Wars and many other conflicts in between, Black Powder covers a significant period in history spanning almost 300 years, which encompasses an era of warfare defined by muskets and cannons fueled by nothing more than gunpowder.

Great "Army Starter" Kit

Warlord Games' Prussian Landwehr (1813-1815) set contains 24 hard, grey plastic infantrymen and 2 metal miniatures of an officer and drummer. The set comes with 48 separate heads, offering the opportunity to build the figures with either plumed shakos or the soft cap illustrated on the box art. The set also includes one additional bare, bandaged head. The collar of the uniform is attached to the heads, so if you are planning on using third party heads, you'll need to account for that. These plastic figures go together quickly as their assembly only requires attaching the selected head to the one-piece body. The downside of this approach is that the figures have a relatively uniform appearance. As a result, every figure looks as if it is standing around on sentry duty. Some of this uniformity is compensated for by the inclusion of multiple heads and variations in the figures' uniforms. For example, the figures have different footwear and equipment. The overall look of the unit is designed to be fairly ragged with a number of the figures appearing shoeless or with bandaged feet or torn trousers. The mold lines on the models are minimal and relatively easy to clean up. No bases are included with the set, so these will need to be purchased separately. (Each individual figure has a small, circular, built-in base). However, the set comes with a usable set of flags that can be cut out from the included information pamphlet, which is a nice addition. Unfortunately, no flag bearer is included in the kit, so you will either need to purchase or "kit-bash" one from the existing figures. At about $1 a figure through second-hand vendors with free shipping, this is an incredibly affordable approach to starting a Napoleonic Prussian army that looks good painted and on the tabletop. If you're looking for a way to start or "beef up" your Prussian Napoleonic army, I highly recommend this kit.

Good Looking Battalion

This is a much better box of figures than the first set of Warlord Games figures I purchased. The set includes 26 figures, 24 plastic and 2 metal. The metal figures are the command section. The plastic figures are on 4 sprues of 6 figures each. The 6 figures are all at attention with a musket shouldered. Each body is different in accoutrements and footwear. There are 6 heads with soft caps, 6 heads with shakos, and one bare bandaged head per sprue. This allows you to build a very ragtag looking battalion. The figures are easy to build. Just add a head. And then paint. There were over 60 Landwehr Regiments so there is a lot to work with. Combine a couple more Landwehr battalions and a Prussian Musketeer battalion to build a brigade. I recommend Osprey Men-at-Arms no. 192 Prussian Reserve, Militia, & Irregular Troops 1806-15, by Peter Hofschroer as a reference source.

Great product and price. Easy assembly. Flag bearer NOT included.

I have been a regular Warlord Games customer and these Prussian Landwehr are very nice. However, my beef is with the listing on Amazon as it suggests there are 38 figures. There are only 26. My beef with Warlord is that the box rear picture shows a flag bearer included with a pole for the flag. Neither is included. You get 24 plastic soldiers and 2 metal figures (drummer and officer). How they have not caught this error by now is surprising, but in the end, the set does come with a number of flags you can cut out and use. The easy fix for me was to just mount the flag on a man's musket. There is a great deal of variation in heads and you do have the option of using shakos or wheel hats. Some faces have large beards and glasses and each sprue contains a hatless head with bandaged look. Very cool over all and not the end of the world without the flag bearer, but seems deceptive to have a picture of models on back with one. These are so much easier than Perry's.
