Description

"The Russians had to be beaten down
man by man ... our soldiers fired
upon them at 25 paces, they continued
their march without replying,
every regiment filed past,
without saying a word, or
slackening its pace for a moment.
The streets were filled with
dying and wounded, but not a groan
was heard ... You might have said
that they were firing at shadows.
At last our soldiers charged the
Russian soldiers with the bayonet,
and only when they pierced them
could be convinced that they were
dealing with men." (- Baron de Marbot,
about the Battle of Golymin)

The russian musketiers from 1805 had a verry outdated equiment, the modernization started just in 1803 (2 years earlier), and it will continiue till the end of the war for Russia in 1814.

Notihg speicial for them in game, they move slow, the accuracy is horrible, and they are verry vulnerable, having a lower life than other line infs of other countries,
