Garde-Jäger-Bataillon
I begin to present my collection of Prussian 28 mm with an elite unit: the Jäger at the foot of the Guard.
The figures are only four, were painted by me a few years ago. As there is no trade in, I turned the Prussian musketeers of Wargames Foundry, cutting the musket, adding lace cuffs and belt.
The Battalion of Jäger (Hunter) Guard was a unit of light infantry created in November of 1808. Originated the prestigious Jäger regiment of foot, created by Frederick II in the eighteenth century.
The battalion was composed of 501 men, all skilled shooters and rifles lined. Most of the Jäger were former hunters or forest guard, very good at shooting the rifle. They were trained to fight in skirmish, in difficult terrain, such as forests, buildings, etc. ..., and aim at predetermined targets, such as the enemy officers.
The battalion participated in the battles of Lützen andBautzen , in the spring of 1813.
In autumn 1813 the two companies have been aggregated to the body of General York, fighting to Katzbach, Wartemburg, Möckern andLeipzig .
Two other companies were part of the Prussian Guards Brigade of the Army of Bohemia and took part in the battles ofDresden and Leipzig .
In 1814, the unit fought at La Rothiere, Arcis sur Aube and Paris, but did not participate in the campaign ofWaterloo the following year.

Comincio a presentare la mia collezione di prussiani in 28 mm con un’unità d’elite: gli Jäger a piedi della Guardia.
Le miniature, sono solo quattro e sono state dipinte da me alcuni anni fa. Poiché non esistono in commercio, ho trasformato dei moschettieri prussiani della Wargames Foundry, accorciando il fucile e aggiungendo gli alamari sui polsini e il cinturone alla vita.
Il battaglione degli Jäger (Cacciatori) della Guardia era un’unità di fanteria leggera creata nel novembre del 1808, dai resti del prestigioso reggimento degli Jäger a piedi, creato da Federico II nel XVIII secolo.
Il battaglione era formato da 501 uomini, tutti abili tiratori e armati di fucile rigato. La maggior parte degli Jäger erano ex cacciatori o guardiacaccia, molto abili nel tiro con il fucile. Essi erano addestrati a combattere in schermaglia, in terreni particolarmente difficili, come boschi, edifici, ecc…, e a mirare a bersagli predeterminati, come ad esempio gli ufficiali nemici.
Il battaglione ha partecipato alle battaglie di Lützen e Bautzen, nella primavera del 1813.
Nell’autunno del 1813 due compagnie sono state aggregate al I corpo del Generale York, combattendo a Katzbach, Wartemburg, Möckern e Lipsia.
Altre due compagnie facevano parte della brigata delle guardie prussiane dell’Armata di Boemia e hanno preso parte alle battaglie di Dresda e Lipsia.
Nel 1814 l’unità ha combattuto a La Rothiere, Arcis sur Aube e Parigi, ma non ha partecipato alla campagna di Waterloo dell’anno successivo.

Benvenuti! – Welcome!
“Non è Grouchy! I prussiani, sono i prussiani!” fu la terribile notizia che nel pomeriggio del 18 giugno 1815, diedero a Napoleone i suoi ufficiali di stato maggiore.
La battaglia contro Wellington infuriava già da parecchie ore e l’arrivo dei nuovi nemici riduceva drasticamente la possibilità dell’imperatore dei francesi di vincerla.
Il resto è noto: l’esercito prussiano di Blücher, dato per sconfitto solo due giorni prima, attaccò i francesi sul loro fianco destro, contribuendo in modo rilevante alla definitiva sconfitta del grande còrso.
Questo blog è dedicato all’esercito prussiano delle guerre napoleoniche e al wargame dell’epoca napoleonica, più in generale.
In particolare voglio presentare la mia personale collezione di miniature napoleoniche in 28 e 15 mm e soprattutto le miniature prussiane in 28 mm.
Alcuni soldatini sono stati dipinti da me o altri miei amici negli anni passati, molti altri sono stati dipinti da altri, in particolare i prussiani in 28 mm dai pittori di “Strategia nova” (www.strategianova.it di Roma).
La mia collezione di soldatini prussiani in 28 mm attualmente comprende:

The rest is history: the Prussian army of Blücher, defeated given for only two days before, attacked the French on their right flank, contributing significantly to the final defeat of the great Corsican.
