Strelets-R M087 1/72 Caesar Army on the March

Russian Hussars in Winter Dress

Hussars were the most recognizable of light cavalry during the Napoleonic wars and beyond. Traditionally dashing, adventurous and (allegedly) attractive to women, their military role was to conduct raids, gather information, harass enemy skirmishers, guard the flanks and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Those of the Russian Empire were no different, and during the French invasion of 1812 they were particularly effective at harassing the retreating invaders, a role sometimes attributed today to Cossacks alone.
