Russian Line Infantry 1809-1814

Black Powder: Russian Line Infantry 1809-1814

Despite, or perhaps because of, the harsh conditions under which they were raised, the Russian soldier was tenacious, resilient, and unyielding. The Russian infantryman played a crucial role in every major battle against the French and their allies during the Napoleonic Wars. Culminating in the great battle of Borodino, the Russian soldier proved to be a very tough opponent, often performing his grim duties at the point of the bayonet.

With this box set, you can build a large battalion of Russians wearing the traditional Russian shako, which, although replaced by the Kiwer shako in 1812, was worn by many regiments until the end of the Napoleonic Wars. Two different head options are included, allowing you to use your unit as Musketeers, Grenadiers, or a mix of both.

The models are easy to assemble with only three parts (body, head, and backpack with sword), so you can quickly build your force and lead it into battle!

This box contains:

• 24 Russian Infantry Miniatures:
• 20 plastic Rank & File and four metal multipose commands (officer, drummer, and two standard bearers)
• 2-sided background guide with 8 colored flags

Models are supplied unpainted and require assembly.
