Black Powder - Napoleonic Wars: Prussian Jagers

The Prussian infantry consisted of fusiliers, musketeers, landwehr and jägers. Regiments, consisting of three battalions, were a tactical unit similar to those of the french. Each regular Line regiment had two musketeer battalions and one fusilier battalion, while the Landwehr regiments had three battalions of musketeers. Jägers were usually broken down into companies and assigned to brigades in ‘penny packets’.

The jägers were elite light infantrymen, marksmen and expert in the arts of skirmishing, usually broken down in to company-sized units. Jägers were rifle armed, although there was not widespread uniformity in the type of rifle used.

This pack contains six Prussian Jägers.
