Prussian volunteer light infantry Frei-Bataillon Le Noble

The battalion consisted of four companies and one Jäger-Detachment. Later in the war a specially equipped raiding party was added under the command of drum-major Dreyer. The battalion was captured at Landeshut 23 Junio 1760. In Enero of 1761 a new II. battalion was raised at Wittenberg. These 40 mm figuras have been cast from Prince August moulds. The figuras are painted with artist oils, and they are based on an upscaled 50 x 50 mm infantry skirmish stand compatible with the Volley & Bayonet game system. The unit represents a light infantry battalion in skirmish order.
