The Crimean War 1853-1856: Cossack Artillery and Crew
(303013840)
The artillery was the premier arm of the Russian military. The artillery was seen to be, in many ways, the battle winner and large numbers of guns were deployed to every battle in the Crimean theatre. Massed artillery fire had been a central tenet of Russian military doctrine since Napoleonic times with the cannon expected to make up for the lack of infantry firepower. In theory, the cannon should soften up the enemy before the infantry charge them and drive them from the field. However, during the Crimean War, the rifled muskets used by the allies often outranged the Russian cannon.
Russian Artillery has a somewhat conspicuous place in history, with the eight guns of No. 3 Don Cossack Battery being the key objective in the ill-fated Charge of the Light Brigade. This model can be used to represent one such gun, a 6-pdr.
This pack contains one Cossack Artillery piece with four crew, cast in metal.
