I have finished painting one each of the 16 new Minden SYW Russian figures that have recently been added to the range. These were really fun figures to paint, especially the grenadiers with their finely detailed mitres and cartridge boxes. My favorite figure poses though are the two officers, one musketeer and one grenadier, that are carrying their musket rested on their left arm. Russian officers and NCOs did not use pole arms during the SYW. They were armed with fire arms.

Note that officers, including standard bearers, always wore their green coats, even in the Summer. The NCOs and Drummers and rank and file would shed their green coats during the summer and fight in the long sleeved waistcoat. So the Russian army in battle line looked like a very long line of red coats.
