Question about 19th Century Russians

[Christian]

Hello there,

I am just poking around for some information regarding Russians during the 1800s... particularly in the NWF.

There is a thread floating about which answered some questions.

However, does anyne know if the Russians used Cossacks in the NWF? Would these figures be suitable, I wonder:

Too early? Not at all close? Spot on?

The idea of units of Cossacks breaking out in the middle of battle for some looting and pillaging would be lots of fun in a game, I think

Yes, they are cossacks of the Napoleonic war period. At the end of the 19th century, cossacks were uniformed with a different uniform.

For later uniformed Cossaks I'd have thought raiding (pun entirely intended) Crimean, Russo-Turkish, Boxer Rebellion or Russo-Japanese war ranges would be able to provide suitable figures.
