The movie Sluga Gosudarev (The Sovereign’s Servant)
I haven't seen the movie yet, but it looks quite visually appealing and the new sets should enable us to recreate both the real history and the movie. http://www.kino-govno.com/movies/slugagosudarev/gallery/images has 72 images from the movie. Like some other commentators, I hope that 905 will contain sufficient civilians and court officials (assuming my usual 2xset buy) to allow some broader scenarios. And of course, the Captain is still waiting for his daughter to appear in a Pugachev's Rebellion scenario (see the movie Russian Riot - based on Pushkin's The Captain's Daughter).

Re: The movie Sluga Gosudarev (The Sovereign’s Servant)
I saw the film just yesterday, I must say it is a funny one, and the scenario, photography and costume is really very lovely made and accurate.
Ther rytm , scirpy and so on is ok, altohugh maybe a little " pro-russian" as the russian appear to be more or less the good and the sweedes a little "evil" and even "stupid" (100 muskets firing to 2 main charachters swimming slowly in a river 20 m far and no injuries to any of them both)
The scenes for battle of Poltava are beautiful and even spectacular, with long firing lines and advancing batallions in colourful uniforms, but the military advising seems to be poor, as infantrymen only fire once (only about 40 m far!!) and inmediately charge to the bayonet (maybe it is more real russian style!!). Also artillery guns are too modern, as they have no recoil at all!
Anyway I liked and enjoy the film, it is funny and nice to see (even more nice to see the incredibly beautiful actresses)!!!!I find it recommendable
