The Thin Red Line - British Starter Army

Built around the iconic British line regiments that fought through the Crimea, this extensive set allows you to field a complete and visually striking army inspired by battles such as Alma, Inkerman and the siege of Sevastopol. Tight infantry formations form the core of the force while supporting cavalry and artillery elements add tactical flexibility and dramatic battlefield presence.

The inclusion of British Lancers introduces speed and aggression to your army composition, contrasting perfectly with the disciplined advance of the line infantry. Meanwhile, the Royal Artillery 9-pounder provides a historically recognisable centrepiece capable of anchoring firing lines or supporting offensive pushes.
