Thirty Years War Battle of Jankau - Anyone got an OOB?
« on: 05 December 2022, 09:49:59 PM »
I want to game that particular battle as a mins game. I've found some maps and also a scenario booklet which has that battle. What I would love to find though is any thing that has names of the regiments, an OOB in other words.

I have the Swedish General Staff book on the battle from 1945. I guess it contains what you need. If you PM me your email I can send you some scans

Go the GMT board game site and go to the Musket and Pike page and down load for free the play book for Sweden Fights on. It has the Jankau scenrio details including an OB.

There over 42 battles in the system and the play books are great resources for the period.

Traveller helped me with some good info and maps.
But yours is also a great idea. I actually did that very thing a few days ago - the GMT rules books are great.
I do own the GMT with the French entry into the war.

Thank you, wkeyser!

Thanks for bringing this up.  I was unaware of it before but it looks like a set of great resources.

By the way, I ended up playing the Battle of Jankau twice in one week. First time with one group then a few days later with a second different group of players.
The Swedes won both times but the second one was really close fought, came down to literally the last die roll.
