While checking E bay for interesting warames figures, I came across a unit (from Stuart asquith's collection) Labelled russian PULTAVA guards, they were Front Rank Pavlovski grenadiers but painted light blue with red facings and a red flag with a bear. i never came across this unit in any Napoleonic OOb. Is this a real unit that I missed all this time, or is it a fictivious unit? Hope some members can shed some light on this matter. Thanks |

Imagi-nation? The only reference I have to a Pultavskii regiment is one that was formed in the 1600s (disbanded 1775) consisting of Cossacks and peasants. |

These may be not Pultava but Poltava grenadiers.
Not actual unit, but just imaginational grenadiers for Poltava battle, as uniform was different. |

If memory serves the wonderful "Charge!" Rules make mention of this very unit! |

Thanks for the reactions,I must have these Charge rules here somewhere, buried in some box…
I also tend to believe this is not an historical unit I never came across but rather inspired by Imagine Nations. So I will not place a bid, even though they look nice and "differen" from the rest of the Russian army. |

Marcal at Austerlitz and Eylau the Russian grenadiers would have had Mitre hats like the Pavlovs as standard but with different coloured backing and facings according to parent unit. |
