SWEDISH & RUSSIAN ARMY FLEETS
Naval Wars in the Baltic
This range covers predominantly the wars between
Sweden and Russia during the period 1778-1809. They were principally
fighting over Finland, the coast of which has many islands and shallow
inlets where conventional sailing vessels could not go. Therefore, fleets of
shallow draught vessels and gunboats were designed to operate in these
waters and to support the armies ashore. Many fierce actions were fought
between the army fleets of Russia and Sweden.For more
background information and list of the vessel types/numbers in service
between 1778-1814, click on the following link.
BACKGROUND
Each kit is
presented complete with hull, masts and sails as appropriate, together
with separate oar banks. One of the features of these vessels is that
they could be sailed or rowed. The wargamer can have the model fully
rigged, then at a stage in the game where he/she changes to oars, can
simply fit the oar banks, at which time the sails will be assumed furled
for game purposes.
Hull, masts and oar banks are cast
in white metal. Sails, where set, are 4 thou photo etched brass; furled
sails are in white metal.
SEA BASES are
available. See list at bottom of this page. |

OTHER SWEDISH & RUSSIAN
VESSELS
Both sides often captured or copied each other's vessels. The
following references list the vessels which are interchangeable.
SWEDEN: The Swedish fleet would have
included 3-masted Galleys, similar in design to Russian,
so use Ref: SR15.
RUSSIAN: The Russian fleet also had
many Gun Sloops and Gun Yawls which were actual copies of the Swedish
Kannonslup and Kannonjolle, so use Ref: SR6 and SR7.
FLEETS OF BOTH NATIONALITIES would also
have included other vessels of 24 guns and less. To represent these, use the
following from our Napoleonic Naval range.
Ref: DU13 or DU14 (24 gun Brig
Corvette) (Hull and sail set sold separately.)
Ref: DU15 or DU16 (24 gun Ship Corvette) (Hull and sail set sold
separately.)
Medium Merchant (Hull and sail set sold separately.
Unrated Vessels (complete sets): Choose from Sloop, Small Merchant,
Brig, 10 gun Schooner, Cutters, Gunboats and Floating Battery.

BRASS PHOTO ETCH
SHROUDS/RATLINES
Some of the vessels in thisSeries
would have had shrouds/ratlines. See below for ship reference and
appropriate brass/photo etch shroud/ratlines reference.
SR1 - select PE5 SR2 - select PE5- SR2a - select PE5 SR3 - select PE7* SR4 - select
PE7* SR5 - select PE28* SR11 - select PE5 SR12 - select PE5 (main
and mizzen only)* SR13 - select PE7*
SR14 - select PE7* SR17 - select PE28*+
* These are 'best fit' sizes. We apologise we did not make shrouds/ratlines
to specifically fit these vessels. Therefore, when ordering PE7's and PE28's
to go with vessels in this series, these will be charged at half price as
they will require some cutting and adjusting.
