King & Country · Napoleonic · NA032
With his weapon on the shoulder and one foot advancing, NA032 represents the movement between the famous moments. He is an effective reminder that an infantryman’s campaign involved far more marching than firing.

A marching figure changes the scene
NA032 can join a road column, pass a command group or approach a village entrance. He does not need an enemy opposite him to explain his purpose. The musket’s upright position keeps the footprint compact, while the moving legs give a row of figures a rhythm that stationary inspection poses cannot provide.
Campaigns behind the code
The 71st’s history includes service well beyond a single battlefield. A route-march display can explore the movement of troops without compressing all of that history into Waterloo. Choose a campaign and compare period headgear before adding a very specific place or date to the label.
Building a small column
NA031 provides an instructive contrast: his weapon is ready for action rather than shouldered. Use NA032 with other marching or accompanying figures if you want a consistent moment. Check the top of the bayonet, the shoulder contact and the raised foot in a listing. The code and pose should agree even when a seller uses the broad title “71st Highlander.”
