Hello everyone , The field artillery pieces of the Russian army in the Crimea were exactly the same as those used during the Napoleonic wars. Thank you, Pascal |

By the time of the Crimean War, two rather large-scale reforms of the material part of artillery had passed in the Russian army. In 1838, some artillery barrels and carriages were changed. In the 1850s, new artillery charges and sights were created. This is what concerns field artillery.
Here is an article in automatic translation from Russian. Unfortunately the quality of the illustrations is poor. (Automatic translation – a lot of things will not be translated correctly, especially when it comes to technical information). link However, for the purposes of the wargame, it is quite possible to use cannons from the Napoleonic period if you cannot find authentic models. |

If metal is key, then it's not that hard to cast a few pewter spears from plastic cannons. Although it's a bit of a hassle, of course. |
