The latest addition to my Prussian army:

These are P1, Prussian Line Infantry, with P3/1, 2 and 3, command group consisting of an officer, standard bearer and drummer.

Newly renovated are these Ros 25mm Prussians:

Prussian Infantry Command

By kind permission of the Vintage Wargaming Blog (of which I am a frequent visitor - see link below), I am able to reproduce a picture of the Prussian Line Infantry Command figures.

These, like all infantry command groups, came in sets of five figures.The set consists of a couple of officers, two drummers and a standard bearer. The two infantry musketeers in the picture below are not part of this set.

P1 - Prussian Line Infantry

The Prussians had few sets of figures. The first to be produced were Line infantry, modelled to represent the 1814/15 period, wearing shakos with covers. There is also a command group set, which I have seen pictures of, but currently I do not own any. Also listed, and again not seen by me are Jagers

To start off the Prussians here is a small group of Line Infantry:

Another Ebay Find

Occasionally the odd Ros 25mm figure turns up on Ebay. A couple of weeks ago I was lucky to win two lots. The first is  a group of Austrian infantry from the Napoleonic wars, which I have not seen in the flesh before. The second (on the left) is a small group of Prussian infantry, which are quite well painted. I will probably repaint the Austrians and clean up the Prussians and will take some better pictures. Again no command figures were included, which is a shame. Meanwhile here are some of the figures in the two lots as they arrived, straight out of the box:
