8058 RUSSIAN ARTILLERY OF PETER THE GREAT
kit consists of 5 unpainted cannons, 3 mounted and 30 foot soldiers. After entering the Great Northern War, Russia began to quickly accumulate its cannon arsenal. In 1706, the distinguished artilleryman V. D. Korchmin proposed setting up three-pound cannons and two six-pound mortar guns on a single gun carriage, which helped reduce the artillery pieces’ vulnerability during reloading.
