One of the most effective defensive tactics of the Napoleonic Wars, the square formation was a signature strategy of the French Imperial Guard infantry. When faced with overwhelming cavalry attacks, soldiers formed hollow squares, standing shoulder to shoulder, bayonets fixed outward to create an impenetrable fortress against enemy charges.
This defensive battle formation was notably used at Waterloo, where the Imperial Guard’s elite units held firm against repeated British and Prussian assaults. Their ability to stand their ground under intense pressure cemented their reputation as Napoleon’s most formidable soldiers. This hand-painted Napoleonic toy soldier is a tribute to their discipline, resilience, and unmatched battlefield prowess.
