This weekend Robin and I played a division game, his first ever and my first against the Ottoman army. Having only a small division we agreed on a 4 regiment limit. I found among the PDF armies for the Polish-Lithuanian commonwealth an interesting force led by Hetman Jan Sobieski, later king of the commonwealth.This historical force was in real life fighting against cossacks and was made up of a lot of infantry and peasant support troops. It looked like a fun change of pace for the usually cavalry heavy Polish armies so I picked it.
