The Swedish field artillery was created during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) by the great military reformer king Gustav II Adolf. Following the Dutch pattern he established the unification of all artillery cannon calibers. The king also created regimental artillery which operates in battle formations with infantry. These Reforms had excellent results. Starting from the battle of Breitenfeld (1631) the Swedish field artillery became the decisive factor for many of Gustav II Adolf victories. The Swedish cannons were manufactured with remarkable quality, especially the iron ones. Christopher Polhem, a Swedish scientist and industrialist, created perfect sights and instruments for vertical aiming

Since the middle of the XV century the Austrian family of Habsburgs had been chosen invariably for the throne of the Holy Roman Empire. In connection with the Turkish invasion of the Central Europe importance of the House greatly increased. Since the XVI till XVIII century in opinion of contemporaries they were like a shield protected the Western Europe from incursion of Moslems. In the first half of the XVII century the Austrian infantry had been organized in accordance with directions given by Morris von Nassau, who was founder of the Netherlands army which was the most progressive during that time. Infantry battalion had been included 550 persons. 250 pike- men were in the center of formation, 240 musketry were in positions at flanks and 60 were in the line of skirmishers. Skirmishers were to fire during countermarch, and that required a highest skill and coherence of actions of soldiery, but at the same time it was a way to keep the strength of continuous fire. In case of threat from cavalry musketry were to shelter behind ranks of pikemen without breaking of formation. On a battlefield battalions had been arranged in three echelons similar to battle formation of the Roman legions. Such arrangement had been given no obstructions during maneuvering of separate detachments and had been allowed to give a support to each other in necessity.

Product: 1/72 Roman Imperial Infantry

Size: 2,4 cm
Parts: 51

The Roman army was the most organized and best trained army throughout the Ancient World. This advantage allowed the Romans to control virtually all the territory of the world known in those times: the whole Mediterranean coast, the greater part of Central Asia, North Africa to the extent of the desert, all Europe through the Rhein and the Danube in the east and Britain in the north-west. Generally, the Roman legionaries were equipped with short double-edged swords: Gladiuses and javelins: Pila. The special role of a legionary's weapon played a shield: although pretty ponderous it was rectangular in shape and during sieges soldiers could draw up in a tortoise-like formation called a Testudo or "tortoise" formation. In the closed Testudo, the front row of legionaries placed their shields in front of them, soldiers in the middle placed their shields over their heads and the flank soldiers completed the tortoise on the left and the right flanks respectively. This arrangement formed a very solid protective turtle-shell of shields. In such a formation legionaries were practically invulnerable to arrows and javelins.

Voltigeurs were introduced as the companies meant for skirmishing in battle. It is companies that became the "light infantry", which had always been in the vanguard and in the line of skirmishers. The introduction of voltigeurs can also be explained by the fact that Napoleon wanted to encourage brave soldiers who couldn't be enrolled in the grenadier or carabineer companies owing to their low stature. If the notion "grenadier" had always been associated with a tall soldier, courageous in a bayonet fighting, a "voltigeur" was a synonym for a small, but fearless soldier in the front under fierce fire of the enemy.

For the first time horses appeared in Japan in late IV - in early V century. They were brought from the Continent and were always highly valued. Only noble samurai (bushi) were taught riding. A rider applied archery, sword craft, spear skills and even art of weaponless combat. A mounted samurai used military art methods, specially adapted to his position on a moving horse. Trained horse felt its rider so well that instinctively, simultaneously with its rider's movements it jumped aside, rose on its hind legs, so that to raise its rider for striking, or furiously rushed into the battle. When one mounted samurai fought with another one, both riders used their horses' skills as much as possible, gaining advantage from their mobility and perfect movement coordination.

The samurais (the military servants) were a Japanese privileged military estate. They lived according to their own code of honor, the bushido, the word meaning "the way of warrior". The main aim of the samurai was faithful service to his master, daime (prince) or a shogun (a military leader in Japan). The most spread weapons were the bow and the spear (yari). The sword was also a very important part of the samurai's armament. The most desperate and fine swordsmen were samurais armed with the nodati, a long two-handled sword. Even experienced warriors could hardly resist their attacks. Some samurais could use the naginata, a sword fastened to a long wooden stick. Masterly warriors combined a powerful hit of the long sword in attack and its defense qualities. But not only samurais took part in marches and battles. Many daimes recruited peasants, work-ing on their land, who wanted to take a military career, and taught them. These troops were called "ashigaru" (light-feeted) because they were lightly armored and could move quickly on the battle-field. In the middle of the XVI century there appeared fire weapons in the Japanese armies, harquebu- siers. This weapon was used both by samurais and ashigaru. It took only several days to teach a former peasant how to use a harquebus, so Shootings table later mostly ashigaru were armed with it. Each daime created his own army fighting with his flag. Each warrior had a special sign with her daime's coat of arms on his back. Noble samurais guarded their daime or served as junior commanders in his army. They had the strongest armor and were better warriors.

Su-33 (factory code T-10K, initially known as the Su-27K, NATO-codename: Flanker-D) is a Russian fourth-generation carrier-based air superiority fighter developed for the Russian Navy. The fighter officially entered service in summer of 1998: by that time it had already been improved for 9 years. A series of unsuccessful experiments allowed to create the first domestic production aircraft, able to land on the deck of an aircraft carrier. Compared with the prototype, the Su-33 has larger folding wings, up-to-date navigation equipment, higher thrust to weight ratio, increased weapons load, and is air refuelable. Due to these unchallenged advantages the Su-33 became the most powerful ship-based fighter in the world. Actually it is in service with the Russian "Admiral Kuznezow" heavy aviation cruiser.

Size: 12 cm
Parts: 26
No glue required

Nicknamed for the unstoppable Union general from the American Civil War, the M4 Sherman was the most common tank fielded by the United States during World War II, and many of them were sent to aid Great Britain and the Soviet Union through the Lend-Lease program. Built to be reliable and maneuverable, the Sherman tank was easy and cheap to mass produce, allowing the Americans to outnumber their enemies. This advantage would more than make up for the fact that late German tanks could easily outclass the smaller M4. Ironically, when the M4 first entered service at El Alamein in North Africa, it's 75mm gun and 93mm of armor was superior to the light and medium German tanks used in that battle. This led American planners to conclude that the Sherman would be good enough to win the war, and there was very little tank development after that time. As heavier (and stronger) German tanks entered the battlefield, the M4 lost its advantage, and became dependent on numbers, artillery support, and air superiority to defeat the superior German designs.
