We’ve had dismounted Carabinier cyclists available for quite some time but until now the poor chaps haven’t actually been able to ride into battle as intended. Well now they can!
One company in each Carabinier battalion were equipped with bicycles for reconnaissance and to provide support to the cavalry regiments. They were originally equipped with the standard Carabinier Tyrolean hat before being issued with a smaller and more practical hat with a detachable peak.
The basic soldiers will be available in packs of two different figures and individual officers with a choice of kepi or bonnet de police.
They’ll all be available at Salute in around three weeks time.
