"1807 - 1815".
Napoleon felt his cuirassiers were of greater value than any other type of cavalry, and took 12 regiments on his disastrous invasion of Russia in 1812.

Their value was as a heavy blow to shatter a wavering enemy, making them something of an elite amongst cavalry although in Napoleon’s army they were never admitted into the Guard. Their glamour and impressive uniform have made them a favourite subject for manufacturers and modellers, as the list of other sets at the bottom of this page testifies. With this set then Zvezda entered a crowded market, but one that always seems to need more of these famous cavalrymen.
