Item Description
WBritain 16154 Clash of Empires British 43rd Regiment of Foot, Standing Firing, 1780
According to The Manual Exercise, As Ordered by His Majesty, in 1764 by Hugh Gaine, 1775, the British manual of arms had no command to "aim," instead the order was to "level muskets" before firing. But the belief that the English army just pointed their weapons down range and pulled the trigger was a fallacy. The actual command of "Present" called to "...raise up the Butt...to the right Cheek and [with] the left Eye shut, and look along the Barrel with the right Eye from the Breech Pin to the Muzzle." The Regiments were practiced frequently, firing six rounds per man. Of course, this did not make every soldier a marksman and the pressure and confusion of battle led to hurried target acquisition, but the importance of aiming was recognized and taught in Britain's professional army.
WBritain one the oldest names in military miniatures brings you another spectacular offering from the clash of empire series. This WBritain 16154 Clash of Empires British 43rd Regiment of Foot, Standing Firing, 1780 is hand painted and beautifully sculpted in 1/30 scale. The French and Indian war, also know as the Seven Years War, began in North America when British colonist and French forces battled for control on the Ohio Valley. This French and Indian war witnessed the first battle field action for young George Washington and set the stage for the American revolution a few decades later. William Britain, sometimes referred to simply as Britains, have been a world renowned Toy Soldier over one hundreds years.
