Urgently need to know what artillery you get in the  GNW Russian Army Pack as there are no artillery packs listed individually for the Russians. Also there's no artillery for the Poles. Very strange as they had 1.5, 3, 5 and 6pdrs


Through the travail of the ages Midst the pomp and toil of war Have I fought and strove and perished Countless times upon this star.
So as through a glass and darkly The age long strife I see Where I fought in many guises, Many names but always me.
So forever in the future Shall I battle as of yore, Dying to be born a fighter But to die again once more.

We use the standard early 18thC field gun and crew.

Thanks Peter. I was looking for mid 17thC artillery for the Russians and the Poles.

We can always swap these out for the 17thC saker for you.

For the Poles you could always also use the Cossack artillery, although mid 17thC they probably would have been more central European uniformed. Or get one of each and mix the crews :)

Thanks Rittmeister. I was thinking of mix and match. A few years ago Peter did mix and match artillery packs. You could select the artillery pieces you wanted and then select which artillery crews you wanted. eg WWI French artillery with Russian crew for the Bulgarians in the 1912/13 Balkan wars. That's what I'm doing at the moment for the Balkan wars. Mid 17thC Polish artillery crew were dressed very similar to the infantry (GNP06) so best match would be the Cossack artillery. Just purchased a small Zaporozhian Cossack army to make a start on the 1648 Khmelnytsky Cossack Uprising in Ukraine against the Poles. So probably will use Cossack artillery as proxies for the Poles
