Perry Miniatures
New French in Egypt and French Revolutionary Cavalry
We have three new codes of French Infantry in Egypt in their European uniforms worn in the first year of arriving there. These wore out and were not suitable for the conditions in Egypt to be replaced by new uniforms as shown in the original codes in this range.
We also have six more Chasseurs a Cheval codes for the Revolutionary range. These all come with metal horses for those who prefer metal.

The Battle of Valmy, France--Belgium border, 20 September 1792
Clip from the 1989 production "La Révolution Française" / "The French Revolution" (360 min)
The Battle of Valmy was the first major victory by the army of France during the French Revolution. The action took place on 20 September 1792 as Prussian troops commanded by the Duke of Brunswick attempted to march on Paris. Generals François Kellermann and Charles Dumouriez stopped the advance near the northern village of Valmy. After the battle, the newly-assembled National Convention was emboldened enough to formally declare the end of monarchy in France and the establishment of the First French Republic.
