Napoleonic Russian 12-pdr Cannon 1809-1815
(WGN-RUS-33)

Count Arakcheyev’s reforms had led to a standardisation of gun types so the army could rely upon a uniform selection of 6-pounder and 12-pounder guns and the 10-pounder and 20-pounder Licornes. In conjunction with the Karbanov gun sight (the most advanced of its time) Russian artillery was a match for any enemy.

The 12-Pounder was the standard heavy artillery gun in the later Russian Napoleonic army; Russian guns were treated with as much reverence as the French viewed their eagles, and were manned by well trained and motivated men.

Contains 1 Metal gun and 4 crew.

Supplied unpainted - 28mm, metal
