Now in our Artillery and Limbers 28mm range, a customer-top-requested new cannon, and what a cannon it is! An experimental 18th Century Russian design which we think no one else has created in 28mm scale. Great for historical use, and also for Flintloque and Slaughterloo, we present the Olonet 'three in a row'.
59548 – Olonet Cannon
An artillery piece with a rectangular barrel made to fit a wooden tray with three 3lb cannon balls. When assembled, it is 50mm long and 30mm across. Made of resin and metal in three pieces. It joins our array of cannons, howitzers, mortars, limbers and more.
This is an actual 28mm creation based on a real cannon in Russia. In the 18th Century, the history of Russian artillery is characterized with working out many experimental patterns for artillery guns that were offered for adoption in the army. Russian artillerists tried to solve problems of increasing the firing rate and firepower of guns. An interesting sample of such systems is the 3lb experimental cast-iron cannon with a rectangular barrel bore cast in Olonets in 1722. It was intended for firing three three-pound balls, which were wrapped round with linen and placed in one row on a wooden tray.
And for the World of Valon…
