Prussian Foot Artillery with 7 or 10-inch Howitzer (1813-1815)

Within Prussia’s highly militarised army, artillery played a vital supporting role, and howitzers formed an important part of the foot artillery batteries. Unlike traditional cannons firing directly at enemy lines, howitzers launched explosive shells in high trajectories, allowing them to strike troops hidden behind terrain, fortifications or friendly formations.

Their ability to deliver explosive fire onto concentrated enemy positions made them both tactically valuable and psychologically terrifying. Even when accuracy varied, the destructive effect of incoming shells could disrupt formations and weaken enemy morale before a decisive assault.

For Black Powder, this howitzer adds both battlefield versatility and impressive visual character to a Prussian Napoleonic army. The model can be assembled as either a 7-inch or larger 10-inch howitzer depending on the artillery battery you wish to field.

• 1 buildable Prussian howitzer included
• Assembly options for 7-inch or 10-inch configuration
• 4 metal crew miniatures
• Entirely cast in metal
• Compatible with Black Powder and Napoleonic wargaming
• Ideal for 1813 campaign and Waterloo themed armies

The detailed artillery piece, realistic crew poses and distinctive barrel design make this set especially rewarding for painters and collectors expanding the firepower of their Prussian forces.

Launching explosive shells high above the battlefield, Prussian howitzers delivered destruction from afar and showcased the growing sophistication of Napoleonic artillery warfare.
