French Foot Artillery 1810-1815 Zvezda-8028

Description

Zvezda set reproducing 4 French foot artillery cannons from the early 19th century. The French gave great importance to their artillery, Napoleon understood perfectly its use and how to exploit the advantage that an effective pre-bombardment could then be exploited by his infantry.

The artillerymen were divided into mounted units and, like the one reproduced in this box, into foot artillerymen. The cannons used at the time were 4, 8 and 12 pound guns.
