🎯 British Sharpshooter of the 95th Rifles – Precision and Courage on the Battlefield! 🎯

Introducing the figurine of a soldier from the famous 95th Rifles regiment during the Napoleonic Wars—a unit renowned as the first British regiment armed with rifles featuring rifled barrels, designed for accurate long-range shooting.

History and Deployment:

• The 95th Rifles was formed in 1800 as elite light infantry specializing in marksmanship and skirmishing tactics.
• The regiment served in the Peninsular Campaign, during the defense of Portugal, and at the Battle of Waterloo (1815), where its sharpshooters played a key role in covering British lines.
• Soldiers were trained for rapid movement, firing from cover, and independent operations—a tactic that differed from traditional line formations.

Interesting Facts:

• The Baker Rifles they used were far more accurate than standard muskets but required longer loading times.
• Their uniform was dark green, providing better camouflage than the red coats of regular infantry.
• Selection for the regiment was demanding—soldiers had to demonstrate excellent marksmanship and physical fitness.
