Pikemans Lament, GNW scenario Part 1 (The Battle of Ishkutchnayia)

[DintheDin]

Meanwhile, in Ishkutchnayia village, two hours have passed and nobody told them the battle is over!

[DintheDin]

Colonel Blohm is alive!

One turn before the game end, the unit of Colonel Blohm took a bad morale check, lost one figure and at the last turn, Colonel Blohm routed...
When we finished the game, I asked Panos: -Just for fun, throw 2d6 to see what happened to Colonel Blohm: He brought eleven.
Colonel Blohm was lightly wounded and came back to his camp with an impressive scar and a story to tell! +1 honor point!
This gave me the idea to create the sequel of this scenario, to be played hopefully on Saturday!
Panos is 4 honor points ahead. Will the Russians be able to wrestle them back?
Pike Lamenters, please stay tuned for the PL GNW scenario, Part 2.

The Russians retreated to lick their wounds. During the lull, the Swedish van found the time to reorganize. With a forced night march, they bypassed Ishkutchnayia via the North West road. Colonel Blohm had vanished, so, to reduce their burden, they burned ceremoniously the wagon with the confidential correspondence of the King.
Then, Colonel Blohm sent message that he is alive! A squadron of wandering Valaks (Veteran Dragoons) who didn't see much action in Poltava, managed to concentrate one unit of Swedish foot, so, there are three more units coming as reinforcements!
After so many casualties, Colonel Blohm's unit is downgraded to Gallopers (@4 points), but they retain their Aggressive (Wild Charge) status.
The same with major Zdravin's unit, (Gallopers - Aggressive), who is getting impatient to dispatch those dangerous Swedes! The czar is watching...

What will happen?

I need to say that I was deeply impressed and inspired by the League of Augsburg GNW Swedish Ghost Army, a real work of art!

Thank you!
We enjoyed it, plenty of room to maneuver!
It ran smoothly.
Just putting one marker to remember to take out one base for every two casualties
