  • Napoleon on the Bridge at Arcola 1796

    Eureka Miniatures have released a 28mm vignette of Napoleon in a charge across the Bridge at Arcola.

    From their website:

    To get everyone in the mood Alan Marsh has sculpted a wonderful vignette of Napoleon trying to inspire his men by example and leading them in a charge across the Bridge at Arcola – a famous incident that took place during the desperate sequence of battles fought around Mantua in 1796. The set comes complete with bridge, a flag welding Napoleon, and four grenadiers – one of whom has already succumbed to the fire of the Austrian Grenzers defending the opposite bank. The figures are cast in white metal, and the bridge is made of plastic resin and designed for us by H G Walls (many thanks Herb!) It is a ‘wargames model’, and as such is a deliberately under-scaled representation of the bridge, although the original bridge was not large, the Alpone River being just a few metres across, flowing between two high causeway embankments.
