Three Musketeers 1672 – Dismounted Cavalrymen – GS66
Bring additional mounted-service troops to your 17th-century battlefield with the Three Musketeers 1672 – Dismounted Cavalrymen – GS66. Representing cavalrymen fighting on foot, these characterful miniatures are ideal for historical skirmishes, Musketeer-themed encounters, sieges, raids, and narrative tabletop scenarios.
Cavalry played an important role in European warfare during the 17th century, but circumstances did not always allow soldiers to remain mounted. Fighting around settlements, fortifications, narrow streets, and difficult terrain could require cavalrymen to dismount and continue the battle on foot.
These miniatures provide a useful way to represent those troops while adding additional variety to a Three Musketeers 1672 collection.

Historical Battlefield Role
Mounted soldiers were valuable for reconnaissance, rapid movement, pursuit, and battlefield shock action. However, cavalrymen could also find themselves fighting without their horses when operating in terrain poorly suited to mounted combat.
Dismounted cavalry are particularly useful for representing battles around:
- Towns and villages
- Fortifications
- Bridges and crossings
- Camps
- Estates and manor houses
- Dense terrain
- Siege works
This makes them especially versatile for smaller narrative-driven historical games.
Why Add Dismounted Cavalrymen?
Dismounted troops provide additional flexibility when building scenarios around cavalry units. Rather than representing mounted soldiers exclusively on horseback, these figures allow cavalry characters to continue participating when the action moves indoors, behind fortifications, or into terrain where horses are impractical.
They also make excellent generic military characters for roleplaying games and historical dioramas.
