Ansbach Curriassers take the field

The Ansbach Curriasser regiment has recently been activated and is even now marching to the frontier to play its part in the current troubles. Ansbach is the second of the new Perry Miniature plastic cavalry regiments raised for the Elector's service. The figures are, in fact, French Napoleonic heavy cavalry with the heads replaced by Wargames Factory tricornes. Students of history will, no doubt, recall the glorious charge of her sister regiment Ardozollern Curriassers that rode over the enemy Marne Regiment in one of the recent fights that have flared up and down the frontier in recent months.
