First Legion is very pleased to present the first of our personality figures for our Seven Years War figure range, SYW021 Frederick the Great and SYW022 General Hans Joachim von Zieten!
SYW021 Frederick the Great - King of Prussia - $169.95
Special Collectors Set of 200
Frederick the Great was King of Prussia from 1740 - 1786 and was best known of his military genius and exploits along with his reorganization of the Prussian army. Like all great captains through history, Frederick was a serious student of military history and theory. Though he took part in the Silesian Wars in the 1740's, he is best known for his leadership of the Prussian Army in the Seven Years War from 1756 to 1763. Facing a powerful coalition made up of Austria, France, Russia, Sweden, and Saxony and with only England as an ally, he managed to repeatedly drive off invading armies and to keep Prussia in the war. Known for leading from the front, we have presented him here actively leading and inspiring his troops. One of the highest compliments paid to Frederick was that another great captain, Napoleon Bonaparte, called him the greatest tactical genius of all time. We sincerely hope you enjoy our rendition of him!
