Named after Napoleon's first wife, Josàphine de Beauharnais, the Empress Dragoons were alert, vigilant and mounted atop fine horses.
All officers were personally appointed by Napoleon Bonaparte, and the troopers were required to be literate and have at least 10 years in the saddle along with citations for bravery before being accepted into the regiment. The Empress Dragoons habitually plundered the chasseur and dragoon regiments, taking their best NCOs into their ranks. Truly they were an elite force within the already elite French Imperial Guard.
Contains four bases of cavalry in Warlord Resin including plastic base sprue and flag sheet.
