Red Box 131 1/72 Napoleonic Nap. Russian Line Infantry (Musketeers) 1804-1807

After the glorious reign of Catherine the Great (ruled 1762 to 1796), Russia suffered under the reactionary and at times insane rule of her son, Paul I, but after his murder in 1801 Russia under Alexander I returned to playing a major role in Europe. During the first 15 years of his reign the new Tsar saw his enormous armed forces participate in many campaigns, including full wars against the Ottoman Empire (1806-1812), Sweden (1808-1809) and Persia (1804-1813). However it is the wars against France that are best remembered today, and while the events of the disastrous French advance upon and retreat from Moscow in 1812 have captured the public’s imagination, another major campaign was that of 1805 to 1807, which began with the Battle of Austerlitz and ended with the Treaty of Tilsit. With many sets already produced for the 1812 campaign by various manufacturers, this product from RedBox is one of a series depicting the earlier and equally important period in the Wars of Napoleon.
