A good Chasseur was at home on his light horse, skirmishing with the enemy cavalry or scouting enemy movements and thus providing valuable intelligence for their commanders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003cp\u003eArmed with carbine, curved sabre and bayonet (an item disliked by the cavalrymen who used it to dig up vegetables or ‘lost’ it on campaign) the Chasseurs were most happy in the saddle, although they were also trained to fight on foot should the need arise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \u003cp\u003eAt the height of the French Army under Bonaparte’s reign there were 31 regiments of Chasseurs à Cheval although only 15 regiments were available for the titanic Hundred Days campaign that culminated at the Battle of Waterloo. Our superbly detailed Chasseurs à Cheval are provided with covered and uncovered shakos as well as the colpacks favoured by the elite companies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \n \n \n \n \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied Unpainted \u0026amp; Unassembled\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Warlord Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":16699149680686,"sku":"WGN-FR-12","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0022\/1947\/4990\/products\/chasseurs-a-cheval-light-cavalry-napoleonic-wars-1.jpg?v=1560793303","url":"https:\/\/www.goblingaming.co.uk\/pt\/products\/french-chasseurs-a-cheval-light-cavalry","provider":"Goblin Gaming","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
