Hi,

Ratniki are warriors, and Pishalniki are arquebuisiers.

Main armed forces of Russia were "Dvor"- melee cavalry.

Ratniki were militia quality melee infantry that were used mostly in sieges or raised for local conflicts.

Pishalnili were the same, but armed with "pishal" which is a musket or arquebus.

Look very useful sets.

A minor point, in this period, the 'Ukrainians' were initially Polish and in the later 16c, Polish-Lithuanian not Ukrainian.

An impressively obscure period 9to me) for 1/72 plastics that I take my hat off to these guys

Interesting

I like them, this is a period that could use more of everything (especially Ottomans)
