First Legion

First Legion presents you with the French Grande Armee! The French soldiers made war all over the continent of Europe against all major powers of the age and it was the line infantry who made up the backbone and striking power of the Grande Armee. This regiment was one of the most famous and elite of all of the French Line regiments and was thus nicknamed “the Brave.” They distinguished themselves in action at both Aspern Essling and Borodino in addition to 36 other engagements. Presented in the style that is unique to First Legion, the initial release of the Fusilier/Center Companies contains 21 different figures. The Grenadier and Voltigeur companies will follow at a later time bringing the total coverage of the French 18th Line Infantry Regiment to 40 unique figures! Thus, even with a single of each figure, you can put together an impressive and, above all, extremely realistic diorama of French Napoleonic infantry in line of battle.
