The evolution of Russian Artillery is explored in great depth using the wonderful scale plans of Norman Swales. The artillery of Tsarina Catherine II was mainly a collection of pieces left over from the Seven Years War. Tsar Paul I introduced a much needed reform with a new artillery system that under his son, Tsar Alexander I, became the excellent M1805 Arakcheev system. This is an invaluable reference for the historian, model maker and restorer of ordnance of this period.
