Question about item

British Line Infantry Regiment

A casual look at Tommy Atkins of the Victorian period gave little away about his fighting abilities.
Standing 5´5" on average, and often shorter, he may or may not be able to read or write. This appearance was deceptive, however.
The average British redcoat was the most dangerous animal in Africa, equipped as he was with the Martini-Henry breech-loading rifle which he was capable of firing 15 times a minute out to 1200 yards range in volley fire if needs be.

His legendary discipline, his marching ability ´enough to traverse all manner of terrain´ and his determination to fight his enemies, which were legion, all made the British redcoat an implacable foe.

Well led, well-equipped and thoroughly trained in his abilities, he blazed a trail for Empire all over the world.
Cheerful and confident the redcoats of the County Regiments served their sovereign well, smashing their enemy with concentrated rifle fire and, if necessary, selling their lives dearly behind the thrust of their wicked long bayonets.

Our Redcoats represent any British unit of the Anglo-Zulu War.

Contains:

Enough plastic components to make 24 British Infantry with Martini Henry Rifles.
A detailed Booklet containing the history and Black Powder profile of the British Line infantry.
