HAT 8314: Russian Imperial Cavalry of the Great War

At the beginning of the First World War, the Russian Imperial Army had one of the largest cavalry forces in the world.

Despite the rapid evolution of the conflict into trench warfare, these units continued to carry out reconnaissance, cover, pursuit, and exploitation missions on the vast plains of the Eastern Front.

The cavalrymen also proved valuable in mobile operations against the German and Austro-Hungarian armies.

The HAT 8314 box faithfully reproduces these mounted cavalrymen with various dynamic poses, ideal for representing a patrol, reconnaissance, or charge.

Varied figurines for realistic scenarios

The different poses allow for the representation of cavalrymen in motion, sword drawn, lance lowered, or rifle in hand. The horses also exhibit various stances, adding more realism to dioramas and gaming tables.

The details of the uniforms, equipment, and mounts provide an excellent painting base, suitable for both beginner and experienced modelers.
