The animation of the troopers is a little understated when compared to earlier releases of Seven Years War cavalry, with none of contorted body positioning. The horses are mounted on a more substantial base and are much easier to fit the trooper on. There is only a small amount of flash on the tail of the horses that readily comes off. If you use any of the typical SYW rule sets, there are two regiments of cavalry per bag, complete with officer, trumpeter and standard bearer (with a few troopers extra as replacements for gaming casualties). This release will make a very nice appearance in your SYW Russian army and are highly recommended. I would give them an A- for overall quality and appearance. More Reviews
