| The
battle of Rossbach was fought on November 5th
1757 between the Prussian army of Frederick the Great
and the combined armies of France and the German Empire
under Soubize.
When the allied commanders noticed the
Prussians moving back from their previous positions
to behind a hill they mistakenly believed thy were retreating
even before the battle begun and recklessly advanced
to overtake and destroy them. The Prussians realising
the allies error, prepared their cavalry and artillery
just out of sight of the allies over the hill crest.
As the Franco-German army surged up the hill, they were
suddenly met by the Prussian cavalry at full gallop
and the roar of artillery fire, which threw them into
disarray. Despite valiant attempts by the French cavalry
to halt the now advancing Prussian infantry and rank
their own troops, the battle was lost and Prussia won
the day.

| We are
pleased to offer these fine 40mm military semi-flat
molds. These are some of the first figures
produced by Prince August originally designed for plaster
molds. The figures can be painted in the uniforms of
1700-1760 for England, France, Sweden, Prussia and Russia,
examples can be found on the figures pages. The figures
were initially carved out of wood and still retain some
features of a wood carving. Many of these were re-made
when we moved over to rubber molds which could produce
more rounded figures.
