Great Northern War ranges 28mm

[nickdives]

I use Warfare Miniatures and Ebor, lovely figures, for the Swedes and Russians. There are some good books by Helion, including "Waking the Bear" get them and I bet you end up with some converted Perry sleighs and probably a Minifigs Drum cart! We use the Beneath The Lilly Banners rules.

At some point I shall get some pictures up on "Tales from the Wargames Shed" when the chaps come out for a game, but I think if you look at imagery from early this year there are plenty of images.

Looking forward to seeing it!

I use Osprey Pikemans Lament. A bit smaller scale but a great set of rules

Interesting. We have had some success using Men Who Would Be Kings for bigger battles like Isandlwana - maybe something similar can be done here.

I bought Ga Pa (please excuse spelling) from Lulu for a very reasonable price, so will be giving that a look.

Just checking the Wargames Foundry range - the cloaked Swedes are a nice variation.

Warlord Games has a supplement for Black Powder called Last Argument of Kings which includes a number of rules amendments to introduce more of an 18th-century feel for the armies involved.  One of the chapters is on the GNW.

Daniel Mersey made both rulesets (together with the Swede Michael Leck for PL) so you will see that the mechanics are more or less the same

A few images of my chaps.

Very impressive. This is truly inspirational.

Thanks to all for comments and suggestions on rules, too.

Got a sample of War Bear 28mm 3D printed chaps arriving today. Excitement is building!

Not a very good shot of my samples... Left to right: Ebor (without pike), War Bear, Warfare/LoA, another War Bear (head perched on, not glued yet)





War Bear are more like 32mm vs 28mm for Ebor/Warfare. I'm hoping the commercial printer can shave 10% off the War Bear prints size, and then I reckon they would be a perfect fit.

Look forward to seeing the results.

I have Ebor, Warfare and Foundry with a small number of WeeWolf.

Ebor and Foundry are surprisingly compatible and Warfare dont look particularly out of place. Wee wolf are bigger but they have mixed in ok.

Examples of how the fit together on my blog, good example here: https://gapagnw.blogspot.com/2019/09/swedish-savolax-infantry-battalion.html

Big Jim Prints has said he can print the War Bear stuff at "true" 28mm. I have another sample on the way.

He also has a broader range than the eBay fellow I found earlier, including the excellent-looking casualty figures.
