Warlord Games - 28mm 1812-1815 Russian Line Infantry

This boxed set allows you to build 32 figures representing Russian Line Infantry in the Napoleonic Wars, fighting as they did, against the French.

The set actually contains 4 metal and 28 plastic figures. As usual the metal figures are to represent the command figures with a regiment, the plastic figures provide your rank and file.

As such, the set contains 7 frames (see above right), each of which allows you to build 4 marching figures. Assembly is simple, attach pack-pack & equipment piece and then select a head - for which you have option of a helmet with or without a plume- then you are done!

A great kit for building up the massed ranks required for any Napoleonic game but which is particularly important for Russian armies.
