Freitag's Jägers

Although not planned and purchased at the outset of the Hanoverian segment of my SYW expansion project these Front Rank Jäger figures have mustered into that force as an afterthought. They give my Hanoverian infantry Brigade some skirmishing capability, one which is largely absent in my Allied Army to date bar a few dismounted British Dragoons. They consist of four 40 x 50 mm bases each having two or three figures. The officer is from the Swedish range if I recall correctly, there being no officer figure offered in the small Jäger section of the list ~

I have the light gun and crew underway now to complete their number, so do keep an eye out for them in the coming days.

  7. A good unit David, with a fine history. Of course you must do some mounted chaps as well otherwise someone will pull you up regarding the lack.

    1. I wonder who that someone might be ...? I have some figures in the AWI collection which will do if the need arises.
