1:72 Russian Nounted Knights (RR)
In the XIII-XIV centuries, military affairs in Rus' was strongly influenced by the armies of neighboring peoples, while maintaining a connection with the old traditions of the times of the princes Svyatoslav and Vladimir. Contacts with the Livonian Order in the north and the Golden Horde in the south made it possible to create an excellent original army. The core of the cavalry was the prince's squads, which consisted of superbly trained professional warriors - the warriors of the prince and his boyars with their detachments. Often in the military service were baptized Tatars who fled from the Golden Horde in the hope of hiding from the strife of the constantly changing khans. This fusion led to the creation of an army capable of both rapid raids and full-scale military operations, using the tactics of the steppe war and conducting organized sieges. The warriors wielded all types of weapons of that time: a straight double-edged sword, a cavalry saber, a spear, an ax, a mace, a pick, a bludgeon, a pike. In addition, they were excellent archers. The armor of warriors (mail, lamellar, quilted) was both of their own production and brought from Livonia or the Golden Horde. The set consists of 18 unpainted soldiers: Soldier (5 types of 3 pieces each), Trumpeter (1 piece), Prince (1 piece), Standard-bearer (1 piece).
