Why this kit matters

Between 1798 and 1805, the Austrian Army played a major role in the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France. Austrian infantry formed the backbone of the Habsburg forces during campaigns in Italy, Germany and Central Europe. Known for their white uniforms and disciplined line formations, they fought in major battles such as Marengo, Hohenlinden and Austerlitz.

The Austrian infantry of this period were organised into line and grenadier units, equipped with flintlock muskets and trained in linear tactics typical of late eighteenth century warfare. Their clashes with French forces shaped the military reforms that followed. A 1/72 scale model set of Austrian Infantry 1798-1805 allows hobbyists to recreate key moments from the Napoleonic Wars with historical accuracy.
