Black Powder British Line Infantry (Peninsular) Box Set - 20 Plastic & 4 Metal Miniatures

The Black Powder British Line Infantry (Peninsular) box set is a historical wargaming collection focused on the British army during the Napoleonic Wars' Peninsular campaign (1808-1814). This set allows hobbyists to build a representative force of the well-drilled, red-coated infantry regiments that served under commanders like Moore and Wellesley, achieving notable victories at battles such as Vitoria, Salamanca, and Talavera. The miniatures are designed for tabletop gaming systems like the Black Powder ruleset, enabling players to recreate engagements from this significant period in military history. The set includes 20 plastic, easy-build British Line Infantry miniatures, which are typically designed for straightforward assembly without the need for glue. These are complemented by four detailed metal command figures: an officer, a drummer, and two ensigns carrying flags. The ensigns come with wire flagpoles and finials for attaching the provided banners. A two-page background guide offers historical context and includes ten full-colour paper flags representing various regiments, adding visual authenticity to the units. All components are supplied unpainted and unassembled, offering maximum flexibility for modellers to customise their force's appearance. This box is ideally suited for historical wargamers, miniature painters, and modellers with an interest in the Napoleonic era. It provides a core infantry unit for Black Powder games or can be integrated into other compatible wargaming systems. The mix of plastic troopers and metal command offers a good balance of quantity and character detail. The set serves as a practical starting point for building a British Peninsular army or as an expansion for existing collections, fitting seamlessly into the wider context of multi-national forces that fought in the campaign.
