Cool!!!!!!

Very nice Aly, didn't see these coming ;)
-
I've got to admit that this is a new one t me- never heard of the Potemkin Wars :)
They do look like lovely sculpts as ever :-* :-* :-*

Some colourful wars and a few 'what if's '...

Will there be Cavalry and Artillery for this range?
Hunlion
-
These are superb cant wait to see the rest of the range
-
This was an interesting surprise. Of all wars, please tell us why you choose this one...
Funny enough I have just converted some Swedes in the m/1779 from AWI and SYW. miniatures. I need some guards to play a skirmish game around the murder of Gustav III in 1792. Now I can stop converting ;)
-
Yes! Great news! I need to order some of them ;D :D
-
Hunlion...
Yes there will be Cavalry and Artillery ... I am working on the Cavalry dolly parts at the moment.
I full recommend Lars's web site ... Thank you for posting the link
Traveller ...
The uniforms and the flags... :D

these are really great. A wargames battle between Russians and Turkish troops would give a great spectacle
And a great "what if" early French revolution addition
-
Pretty close to my all time favourite uniforms. Very tempting and a subject long neglected in this scale. Good for fighting Ottomans and Poles too.
-
Very nice looking figures
-
Looking for Russian flags for this period. Anyone know?
Hunlion
-
Does anyone know if the 6 figures in the packs being sold by North Star are all the same or is there some variation?
It looks to me that the three figures shown in the infantry packs are the same or am I missing some variations?
-
Hi Commissar...
All the figures in the rank and file packs are in the same position...
All the best Aly
-
Hi Hunlion...
This is the best image of the Russian flag I have found ... It appears to be the same for all units...
I am not sure what the cavalry carried...
All the best Aly
-
Amazing sculpts as always from GWM. Really excited about this range as I have always had an interest in the later Russo-Swedish wars contemporary with the Napoleonic period.
I would just be after knowing which units were engaged in the battles of 1788 - 1790 as I have been unable to find this out so far.
-
There are couple of army lists in the Nafziger collections...
I have some Russian info somewhere... apparently not one this computer... :?
All the best Aly
-
Okay thanks Aly
-
Check out this blog..... scroll down to find a army list for Russian-Turkish war...It might help.

Yesterday I ordered three packs.
eagerly waiting for them ::)
-
All very interesting stuff- I love the more esoteric areas of our hobby and dearly wish that I had time to paint up an army or two from this beautiful looking range- though I do have to admit that I had to look it up before I knew anything about the war! My ignorance shining through I suppose :)
Darrell.
-
Its us esoteric wargamers that keep new lines coming
-
I think that to most people all wargaming is esoteric...
So does that make us the esoteric esoterics....... ::)
-
I found a couple of more Russian flag images...
This one appears to have a white field... so possibly a colonels flag...
The symbol on the eagles chest is different from the previous image... I think this was different for each regiment.
I know Lars Rossle of Sword and Sabre Publishing used to have a web site that covered the Russian Army of this period but sadly it appears to have been taken down... :'(
All the best Aly

According to Eric Burgess ....( see blog....http://dinofbattle.blogspot.ae/2015/10/balkans-clash-russo-turkish-war-1790.html )...
He got his 15mm flags form Dan Schorr many years ago. I am trying to contact him to see if he still sells them.

Hi Hunlion...
I took a screen grab of the painting...
It is by Pehr Hillestrom....
it is called something like ... King Gustav and the soldier...
I haven't found a better image ...yet! :)

I have not seen any Nafziger OOB from this war, however the Swedish side is rather well documented and available in Swedish on the Runeberg.org website, for example:
http://runeberg.org/mjfinarme/1/
In the Swedish documents there are mentioned about Russian troop strength and unit types but not distinct regimental OOBs

Hi Guys
Here is a larger ...if poor quality image of the Pehr Hillesrom painting
Also another which I think depicts Gustav III...

If you want to know more about Russian colours through the ages, then get hold of the coloured work by Zweguintzow.
Cuprum can get it for you, if you is not able to find it or buy from Russia.
-
Another couple of pictures...
I found these on line a while ago... but I cant remember where :(
They look like they are from this period but whats interesting is that there appears to be men wearing mitres !!!

Looks like the Swedish regiments had two flags. So Aly is there a way we could get an extra standard Bearer? :-)

The command packs contain 2 Officers,2 Drummers and 2 Standard Bearers...
I am not sure what Nick is putting in the unit boxes but I am sure they can be adjusted if necessary

According to the shop page just three command.

Nick is changing the Swedish Battalion deal to have two standard bearers...
we will leave the Russians as they are ...but will change them if we find they had two standards as well

Unfortunately the pics have gone, but Lars Rossle's sadly vanished site said two colours for the Russians in this period:
https://web.archive.org/web/20100817162329/http://hem.bredband.net/b111807/English/Eng-gustavian/Russians-1.htm
I think a lot of the uniform pictures he made for the Swedish army are still viewable through the wayback machine, if anyone's interested.
-
There are some black and white pictures of some flags of the period here:
http://www.memorandum.ru/viskowatov/T06/pic/index.php?page=4
-
Great information on the flags. Just need to work out which flags would be suitable and more importantly what colors are they.
Hunlion
-
I think (but I'm not sure) that from 1780, there were only two types of flags for all the russian regiments (musketeers and grenadiers). The white regiemental flag and the coloured flag (same design but with yellow and white).
The coloured pictures that don't appear in the usefull Lars Rossle web can be found here (with the pages indicated).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ysvrzbe2w3ss4wn/Ylianov_01_unlock.pdf?dl=0
In the front cover of the book, a grenadier battalion with 2 identical flags is depicted.
The text in page 192 translated with google translator (my russian is awful ;)) says:
Colored banners Infantry Regiments , 1763-1780 , by divisions : the Estonian ( 1 ) , Ukrainian and Sevsk , 1766 ( 2 ) , Livonia ( 3 ) , Smolensk ( 4 ) , St. Petersburg ( 5 ) , Finland ( 6 ) , Siberian housing ( 7 ) , Moscow ( 8 ) Sevsk , until 1766 ( 9 ) , Ukrainian , until 1766 ( 10 ) , Orenburg housing ( 11 ) . The front ( 12 ) and back ( 13 ) side of the colored banners grenadier and infantry regiments , sample 1780 .
So I assume that specific coloured flags disapeared in 1780 when a new flag was issued for all line infantry. All the same excepte for the city coat d'arms on the eagle's chest. As it says "coloured infantry flags", I'll use a white flag and coloured flag for the first battalion in aregiment and two coloured flags for other battalions in same regiment.
-
Thank you Oriol...
you beat me to it...
I think your assumptions make the most sense.
I shall also go with a colonels flag with a white field and a battalion flag with an orange/white field.
I wouldn't be surprised if some units continued to carry the older flags as it often took time for changes to make their presence felt.
I shall ask Nick to put two standard bearers in the Russian unit packs.
Here is a descent image of page 192.
All the best Aly

A BIG THANK YOU guys for the flag information.
All we need now is the someone to make them into 28mm wargame flags :-)

Hmmmmmm! Now there's a thought... ;) ;) ;)

Aly - Are you planning to expand the range into the 1808 - 1809 Russo-Swedish war?
-
Armchairgeneral...
Not at the moment, though it is an interesting period and the uniforms are rather nice...
All the best. Aly

Very nice, but i'm a little bit disappointed by Great War miniatures because they don't continue their WW1 Belgians- Artillery and Cavalry.
Maybe in the future??? :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(
-
Hi gefreiter...
We have ever intention of adding to and expanding the WW1 range...
I think Dave is working on German Hussars at the moment.

Lars Rossle has provided a detailed history of this period. I have down loaded it in three parts in the attachment section.
A BIG THANK YOU to Lars for all his hard work on this topic.

Darn it...
Now it's me who can't open the files >:(
-
Wow!
Those files contain OOBs for most of the battles! Excellent stuff, big thanks to Hunlion and Lars for uploading this. Aly, opening the files with Word makes them work, (while pdf did not).
I saw that there was not much info on the battle of Walkiala April 29 1790, which was.....no problem.... :D since I am putting together some facts on that. I just need to download a map from the War Archive to finish.
-
thank you traveller...Job done
Looks good :)
-
Hunlion,
Ooh I shall peruse those I detail later!
Excellent and thank you very much for sharing these.
Aly,
I don't suppose you know if Dave Thomas has any of these figs on his trade stand do you? I could pick them up at Kirriemuir then!

Hi there...
I have been rather busy with real work...
But I managed to get some Swedish Infantry painted...
Hopefully I shall get the flags finished this weekend...

They look GOOD! ;D

Which regiment are they? .....and do they have two standard-bearers? :-) ....Nice looking unit by the way.
Hunlion

Hunlion...
They are the Abolans regiment...
And yes two standards :D
-
Now with Standards ....
Sadly not the best picture...
will try again at the weekend... :?
-
Very nice. there's something rather charmingly 'old school' about those figures. The slightly washed out pic only adds to it.
-
Wow really nice.
-
Some better pictures .. I hope...
-
Hi Aly, when can we expect to see some artillery and cavslry for the Russians?
-
Shipka
I am working on the cavalry dollies now...
-
Hi Aly,
very nice! Which colour (maker) did you use for the blue uniform? Also, are you planning light Infantry like the savolax jaeger?
Greetings,

-
Hi Martin...
The blue that I used on the uniform is ... CITADEL Kantor Blue...
Yes I will make some Light Infantry... for both sides...
All the best... Aly

As this battle was not part of the great works of Lars Rössle I translated the text from Mankell´s description of the battle. I had some problems with the images though...I do not understand why they are not as good resolution as the originals?
Battle of Walkiala April 29, 1790
(http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww323/Travellera/18th%20Century/Walkiala%201790%20Painting_zpssqompmbr.jpg)
(http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww323/Travellera/18th%20Century/Walkiala%201790%20x_zpsrht724t3.jpg)
The Swedish advance towards Walkiala continue through Selänpää to the bridge at Terasjoki which had been destroyed by the Russians. The bridge was repaired protected by two artillery batteries. Further on at Antilla village The Elfsborg Infantry battalion was deployed together with 2 guns. It was now 17.30 in the afternoon and reports came with news about enemy activity in Walkiala. The Russian Commander Major General Denisow had formed his troops in the wooded ridge northeast of Walkiala with his left flank anchored on the church and Ritala village, while the right flank was protected by a small frozen swamp (Vähälampi). In front of his position was open fields and the road turning south. The Russian line, well supplied with artillery, stretched from north to south about 1000 meter. The Swedish king Gustav III asked his soldiers if they preferred to rest during the night or to attack immediately. The response was that they were eager to do the latter and the Swedish forces were prepared to advance. The terrain forced the Swedes to advance in a narrow column on the road. The Kronoberg Regiment was in the van followed by the Västmanland and Östgöta Regiments. The Swedish 6 pounder artillery took a position at the Ottari farm and started to fire at the Russian line, around 1000 meters away. The two batallions of the Kronoberg Regiment deployed in the wooded terrain to the left of the road while suffering heavy fire from the Russian line. The Russian right flank now started to move against the Swedes. To counter this move the 2nd Östgöta Batallion together with the Jägers under Hjerta (Jämtland Jäger Batallion?) was detached and advanced towards the swamp on the Russian right flank. At the same time 7 Regimental guns were deployed in line with the infantry to the left of the road. On the extreme Swedish left the Västmanland 1st Batallion deployed. Major General Pauli commanded the Swedish left. On the Swedish right flank Major General Pollet brought up the 1st Östgöta Batallion beside the Kronoberg Regiment and the 2nd Västmanland Batallion. When the Swedish deployment was finalized under heavy Russian fire, the Russians started to withdraw their guns from the line. The Swedes then commanded “fix bayonets” and the whole Swedish line advanced and made a bayonet charge capturing the Russian position on the ridge, while the Russians retreated. It was now 22.00 and darkness prohibited any pursuit of the Russians. Total losses on both sides were 170 men and the Swedes captured the plentiful Russian supplies.

I agree that it is the right size of battle. It also have some GNW flavour, Swedes deploying under heavy fire and then delivering a bayonet charge that send the Russkies on the run. Gustav III really admired Charles XII so I am sure he was happy about the outcome of this battle which he personally commanded. Now Aly, You just need to help us with some bayonet charging miniature Swedes :)
-
Hi Traveller
Ok maybe not full charge ...but will this do...
-
Nice pose Aly

A great step forward :) the next logical pose must be full charge ;)

or skirmishing? ;)

Hi Aly,
Any updates on more figures for this range, you had previously stated that you where working on cavalry. With Sharp Practice 2 having been released would like to see some advancing figures for skirmishes.
-
Hi Sovorov...
Things are moving along slowly ( work and life keep getting in the way)... but I have finished converting up masters to make summer dress and leib grenadier variants, the cavalry dollies are more or less done and I have some officer variants on the go...
I want to get a reasonable amount finished before I have them molded...
Little by little... :D
All the best Aly
-
Hi Ally,
Thanks for the update, all good things come to those that wait. I only have the Russian figures at the moment and these figures are simply superb. The separate arm means a lovely cleen casting.
Looking forward to the next releases liking what you stated but completely understand real life takes first priority.
