This box contains centre company men (or hat men) of a
typical British regiment for the war. The regiment’s flank companies were
normally detached to for combined light and grenadier battalions. They are
represented in cut-down coats for campaign and come with three hat variants; the
typical cocked hat, the un-cocked hat, or board brimmed hat, and the ‘Saratoga
cap’, cut down from the cocked hat. They can be assembled either at the charge
or at the trail (probably the most common drill position when operating in
wooded countryside). They also wear the typical gaiter-trousers, or American
trousers, which became very popular in the war. The officers are in simple
undress coats favoured on campaign.
Box contains: 36 28mm plastic figures plus 2 casualties, units bases,
full painting guide and flags
