The kit represents Swedish artillery from the period of the Great Northern War (1700–1721), during which Sweden, under the leadership of Charles XII, waged intense military campaigns against a coalition of many European countries, including Russia, Denmark, Saxony, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Artillery was one of the key elements of firepower in battles such as the Battle of Narva (1700) or Poltava (1709).
