This page contains only basic information about the models and ships, along with the painting scheme that should be applied (the instructions on the linked page show what the specific scheme looks like).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to geography, Russia had to divide its fleet into many squadrons operating in different seas and oceans. The tsar, however, wanted to spend a lot of money on the development of a modern fleet, using the experience of Western countries (mainly France), but also building his own capabilities. The Russian fleet has universal capabilities in all ship classes and is very diverse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most of the Russian battleships will be comparable to similar designs in other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cruisers were built for raids, they would be fast and well armed, but not with the best armor. One of them &#8211; Novik, is the fastest ship in her class in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Russian destroyers were of good quality, although sometimes poor quality control meant that some units, such as torpedo boats, had poor engine rooms and reached speeds much worse than planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6th_Era_%E2%80%93_predrednoughts\"><\/span>6th Era &#8211;  predrednoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMT-RUS-001_Russian_Navy_Squadron\"><\/span><strong>GMT-RUS-001<\/strong> Russian Navy Squadron<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the perfect set for the beginning of the adventure with the JapaneseRussian fleet.

This ship will therefore be a cheaper (in points) alternative to the Borodino class, due to the large number of cannons, which is a threat to both battleships and cruisers of the enemy.

Excellently armed, the best-armoured among all Russian battleships, and distinguished by an incredible silhouette, it will undoubtedly be one of the most popular choices for players.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja1-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja1-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja1-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja1-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja1-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja1-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Layout for placing boats and armament.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/GMT-RUS-012-Tsesarevich-battleship-instrukcja2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ship with all elements placed.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Cesarewicz-e1718480956140.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arrangement of boats and armament.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMT-RUS-013_Admiral_Nakhimov_armoured_cruiser\"><\/span>GMT-RUS-013 Admiral Nakhimov armoured cruiser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Class<\/strong>: 2.<br><strong>Base length<\/strong>: 12 cm.<br><strong>Colour scheme<\/strong>:&nbsp; Baltic fleet.<br><strong>Models in a set<\/strong>: 1.<br><strong>Models on one base<\/strong>: 1.<br><strong>Cards in a set<\/strong>: 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admiral Nakhimov (named after Admiral Pavel Nakhimov), was an armoured cruiser in the Imperial Russian Navy during the Russo-Japanese War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admiral Nakhimov was ordered in 1881 as one of the first armoured cruisers, and laid down at the Baltic Shipyard in Saint Petersburg in the presence of Tsar Alexander III in July 1884, launched on 21 October 1885, and entered service on 9 September 1888.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By 1905 she was already an obsolete vessel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite its relatively weak armour and moderate speed, Admiral Nakhimov will be an attractive ship for the player, not only visually but also in terms of usefulness in battle.

Despite the official classification, these ships, displacing over 300 tons, were decidedly closer to the destroyers of that time than torpedo boats. These vessels were inspired by the French destroyer of the Durandal type, although they differed in certain aspects, such as the silhouette \u2013 Forel had 4 funnels, grouped in pairs.<br>All ships of this type were sent to Port Arthur and participated in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.<br>Forel has fewer torpedo tubes than other Russian destroyers, making it competitively priced.

The ship displaced nearly 11,000 tons and was armed with 4&#215;203 mm guns, 16&#215;152 mm guns, 6&#215;120 mm guns, 6&#215;47 mm guns, 10&#215;37 mm guns, and 6 torpedo tubes. Her armament was often supplemented with 1-pounder guns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rurik was designed for countering enemy shipping and was expected to have the ability to undertake long, independent voyages across the world\u2019s oceans in various weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her armour, though thick, was of the &#8222;belt&#8221; type\u2014narrow but thick strips protecting a limited portion of the ship&#8217;s side. This soon proved inadequate. The heavy armament and thick armour, however, took a toll on the ship&#8217;s maximum speed\u2014only 18 knots, which was faster than contemporary battleships but ultimately too slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Russo-Japanese War, the Rurik was part of the Vladivostok squadron and participated in numerous raids against Japanese shipping, including the sinking of the <em>Hitachi Maru<\/em>. It was eventually sunk in the Battle of Ulsan by Japanese armoured cruisers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nevertheless, the Rurik would have been a valuable reinforcement for the Russian fleet, with strong firepower and durability, making her a significant threat to any enemy cruiser.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik1.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Layout for placing boats.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17213\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Rurik2.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ship with all elements placed.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"http:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gmboardgames.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ruryk-e1758460813137.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Arrangement of boats and armament.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMT-RUS-015_Rossia_armoured_cruiser\"><\/span>GMT-RUS-015 Rossia armoured cruiser<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Class<\/strong>: 2.<br><strong>Base length<\/strong>: 14 cm.<br><strong>Colour scheme<\/strong>: Vladivostok Cruiser Squadron.<br><strong>Models in a set<\/strong>: 1<br><strong>Models on one base<\/strong>: 1<br><strong>Cards in a set<\/strong>: 1<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Rossia armoured cruiser was commissioned into service in 1896. Although there were initially plans to build three ships of the Rurik class, it became clear that the Rurik&#8217;s specifications were insufficient for the intended role. This led to the decision to design entirely new, larger units. The result was the Rossia, followed by the Gromoboi shortly afterward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ship measured about 147 meters in length and displaced over 12,000 tons. Her primary mission was to conduct long-range raids against enemy shipping. The Rossia could achieve a speed of 19 knots and was armed with 4&#215;203 mm guns, 16&#215;152 mm guns, 12&#215;75 mm guns, 20&#215;47 mm guns, 18&#215;37 mm guns, and 5 torpedo tubes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the armour of the Rossia was relatively thick, the ship was not as evenly armoured as, for example, the famous Garibaldi-class cruisers.

Although there were initially plans to build three ships of the Rurik class, it became clear that the Rurik&#8217;s specifications were insufficient for the requirements. This led to the design of entirely new, larger ships. The Gromoboi was one of the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She measured about 147 meters in length and displaced over 12,500 tons. She was built to conduct long-range raids against enemy shipping. The Gromoboi could reach a speed of 19 knots and was armed with 4&#215;203 mm guns, 16&#215;152 mm guns, 24&#215;75 mm guns, 12&#215;47 mm guns, 18&#215;37 mm guns, and 4 torpedo launchers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although her armour was relatively thick, she was not as evenly armoured as, for example, the famous Garibaldi-class cruisers.
