My opponent is wielding a very large Polish force. It´s a demonstration game, so we have decided to share our force compositions before the game.

Kiitos ja Moi!

Looking good! 

Where's our AAR? 

[Julfdi]

Desperate, craven Swedes try to attack through superior Polish forces... And getting news of more urgent battle elsewhere brave Poles dash away to help king and country...

[archiduque]

Nice work!!

Part of the Polish division deployed:


Olofeus surprised me by choosing to attack and managed to shoot the Polish attack from its deployment zone into shambles.

Full report of the catastrophe in my blog as usual.

Nice experience - a bit unwieldy for demo game though. Tactically it would have required me to make the Swede come to me instead of letting him sit tight and shoot my approaching troops to pieces. Space for that was rater limited though.

[pocoloco]

Thanks for the AAR, interesting effect with the pre-game rolls and all.
