At the start of World War I, in August 1914, the army of imperial Germany was considered the best and most efficient in the Old Continent. Such a conviction resulted mainly from the fame of the victories won in the course of the wars with Austria in 1866 and with France in the years 1870-1871. Also, many organizational solutions used at that time in the Prussian army, and later in the German army (e.g. strategic railway lines or mobilization techniques) were copied in other European countries. As in the French or Russian armies, one of the three types of land armed forces in the German army in 1914 was cavalry. In turn, one of the most characteristic types of German cavalry were uhlans (German: Ulan). At the start of the Great War, the German army consisted of 26 Uhlan regiments, three of which belonged to the Guard units. German uhlans wore headgear referring - quite loosely - to Polish patterns from the early 19th century and distinguished themselves from other cavalry units with the rest of the uniform. The German uhlans used a lance approx. 320 cm long, made of steel sheet, weighing approx. 1.6 kg, with a pennant. The tip of the lance was approximately 30 centimeters long. A saber and a 7.92 mm Mauser cavalry rifle served as a sidearm. At the beginning of World War I, Uhlans were used primarily in the West in the course of the modernized Schlieffen plan. However, after 1914, some of the uhlan regiments were rushed and de facto transformed into infantry units, and some were sent to the eastern front, where they retained their cavalry character.

For centuries, the Cossacks formed distinctive military communities along the frontiers of the Russian Empire. The largest and best known were the Don, Kuban and Terek Cossack Hosts, although others lived in the Urals, Siberia, Orenburg and the Far East. In return for land and certain privileges, Cossack men were required to provide military service, supplying the Imperial Russian Army with large numbers of experienced horsemen.

The War of Independence of the United States was fought in 1775-1783 between the American colonists (future US citizens), supported for some time by France, and Great Britain. The main type of armed forces fighting in the American army, which was just emerging, were, of course, the infantry, accounting for about 70 to about 80% of all American armed forces in the course of this war. Its regular units served in the Continental Army, but units composed of the so-called Minutemen. The latter formed light, irregular infantry, which trained and armed at their own expense, which, however, often showed high combat value, and above all, knew the area in which they were to fight very well, which often determined their advantage over regular units British. The Continental Army, on the other hand, was formed in July 1775 by a decision of the Continental Congress, and its commander-in-chief throughout the war was George Washington - the future 1st President of the United States. It is assumed that at its peak, 80,000-90,000 people fought in its ranks. It is worth remembering that initially the regular US infantry units were significantly inferior to their British counterparts in terms of training, discipline and tactics. They also suffered from a shortage of good NCOs and officers. A great contribution to changing this state of affairs was made by a Prussian officer who served as a volunteer in the American army - Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Also other officers who came from the Old to the New World, including Tadeusz Kościuszko and Kazimierz Pułaski, did a great deal in increasing the combat value of the Continental Army. The latter proved its combat value in such battles as Saratoga (1777) and especially at Yorktown (1781).  Specification Period: American Revolution Scale: 1/72 96 Figures, 4 Horses Material: Plastic Finish: Unpainted

1/72 Scale Model of The British Infantry during American War of Independence

American War of Independence British Artillery (1/72) This 1/72 scale British Artillery set from Hat Industrie represents gun crews as they would have appeared during the American War of Independence. Sculpted with period uniforms and equipment, the figures are intended to complement infantry and cavalry units of the era, making them well suited to battlefield layouts, siege scenes or wargaming tables. The poses reflect the practical roles of artillery crews, focused on operating and supporting their guns rather than dramatic action. Artillery played a crucial role throughout the conflict between Britain and the American colonies. British guns were used to support infantry advances, defend key positions and conduct sieges against fortified towns and strongpoints. While often limited by terrain and logistics, trained artillery units provided disciplined firepower that could influence engagements when deployed effectively. In North America’s varied landscape, artillery crews had to adapt quickly, operating in conditions far removed from European battlefields. A solid addition for anyone building British forces of the late 18th century, adding depth and balance to American War of Independence scenarios. Features 1/72 scale plastic figure set British artillery from the American War of Independence Period-accurate uniforms and equipment Designed to complement infantry and cavalry units Suitable for dioramas, wargaming and historical collections

American War of Independence British Cavalry (1/72) This 1/72 scale set from Hat Industrie depicts British cavalry troopers as they would have appeared during the American War of Independence. The figures are sculpted to reflect period uniforms and equipment, with mounted poses that suit scouting, movement, or battlefield scenarios. The set includes both riders and horses, allowing for a cohesive and balanced cavalry unit straight from the box. British cavalry played a varied but important role during the conflict in North America between 1775 and 1783. While large-scale cavalry engagements were relatively rare compared to European wars, mounted troops were frequently used for reconnaissance, rapid movement, escort duties and pursuit. Units such as light dragoons became particularly valuable in the wide and often difficult terrain of the colonies, where speed and flexibility mattered as much as firepower. Sets like this help capture that less formal, more mobile side of 18th-century warfare. A useful cavalry set for building out British forces of the late 18th century, whether for gaming tables or historical displays. Features 1/72 scale plastic figure set British cavalry from the American War of Independence Includes 6 mounted figures Includes 9 horses Period-accurate uniforms and equipment Suitable for dioramas, wargaming and figure collections

These figures represent the formidable Hessian troops - German auxiliaries hired by the British Crown during the American Revolutionary War. Renowned for their discipline, precision, and striking uniforms, Hessians played a key role in major battles such as White Plains and Fort Washington. Feared by many American colonists, their reputation was both respected and controversial. Often misunderstood, Hessians were not mere mercenaries, but trained soldiers from several small German states - most notably Hesse-Kassel - serving under treaty obligations. Perhaps their most famous moment came at the Battle of Trenton. On the morning of December 26, 1776, after crossing the icy Delaware River, General George Washington led a surprise attack that overwhelmed the Hessians, capturing nearly 1,000 troops in a stunning American victory. This bold maneuver boosted Revolutionary morale and changed the course of the war. Each figure is crafted with historical accuracy, paying tribute to these disciplined soldiers who served far from home. Ideal for collectors, educators, or anyone fascinated by the drama and detail of the American Revolution. Specifications 48 figures in 1/72 scale

The kiwer shako (sometimes spelled kiver) was introduced into the Imperial Russian Army around 1812, replacing the earlier bicorn and older styles of shakos. It became the iconic headgear of Russian infantry during the later Napoleonic Wars, notably from the 1812 Patriotic War through to 1814. Made popular by officers first then gradually filtered down to the ranks. The kiwer was a symbol of modernization in the Russian army's appearance during the later Napoleonic period, aligning them visually more with Western European armies, while still retaining Russian identity.

Russian horse artillery was created to provide fast-moving fire support for cavalry and other mobile formations. Unlike ordinary foot artillery, the gunners were mounted, allowing an entire battery to keep pace with cavalry, move rapidly between positions and bring guns into action wherever they were most urgently needed.

Russian artillery enjoyed a formidable reputation during the Napoleonic Wars and was regarded as one of the strongest arms of the Imperial Russian Army. In the years surrounding the campaigns of 1805-1807, major reforms standardized its organization and equipment, creating batteries capable of delivering powerful and sustained fire in support of the infantry. One of the most distinctive Russian artillery weapons was the unicorn, or licorne, a type of gun-howitzer developed in Russia during the eighteenth century. It combined some of the characteristics of a conventional cannon and a howitzer, allowing it to fire solid shot, explosive shells and other ammunition. Its longer barrel gave it greater range and accuracy than many contemporary howitzers, while its conical chamber made it particularly well suited to shell fire.

Russian horse artillery combined the firepower of field artillery with the mobility needed to accompany cavalry and react quickly to changing conditions on the battlefield. The gunners were mounted, allowing a horse artillery company to move rapidly into position, fire in support of cavalry or infantry, and then redeploy before slower enemy formations could respond. By 1812, Russian artillery had developed into one of the strongest arms of the Imperial Army. A standard horse artillery company contained twelve guns: six 6-pounder cannon and six 1/4-pud unicorns. This combination gave the battery both conventional cannon fire and the greater flexibility of the uniquely Russian unicorn. Specifications 28 figures and 4 cannons
