But now, it is the turn of Colonel Blohm to wild charge and Major Zdravin's unit is swept out!
For history's sake, Zdravin received a wild charge, managed to counterattack, lost the first battle, was followed up and lost the second.
Miraculously, all the Russian units that took a morale check, were left unharmed...
But, next round, I brought two aces and, as in the previous game, one of my 4 points unit was recalled!
I had to take out an intact unit of regular Russian infantry!

Fog of war...
While you make plans, the universe watches at you in his tv, eating peanuts

The Cossacks wild charge Colonel Blohm, who loses the battle, only two figures left!

The ebb and tide of the battle!
Colonel Blohm wild charges again and defeats the Cossacks!
There morale is down and they reatreat...
The advancing Swedish grenadiers, bring two aces and retreat a full move!

I told Panos that the Valaks were the antidote to the annoying Cossacks. He took my word for granted and now he directs them to the woods!

The Garrison Troops advance in line...

The dismounted Cossacks could not recover from their shock and they finally rout!

The end of Colonel Blohm (?)
Blohm could not avoid a wild charge, played with 6 dice vs 12, lost the battle, received a volley and his unit was eliminated.
The rest of the tough Swede units took a morale check, but stayed unharmed.
The last Swedish infantry platoon retained its morale due to the presence of a hero.

Fighting around the farm rages.
The Swedish grenadiers manage to rout the last regular Russian platoon.
The Garrison troops try to make a semicircle to stop the Swedish tide.

Undaunted the Swedish advance!
The second cowherd advances, undaunted as well!

The other cowherd was stopped by the Voidova villagers and corralled back to the cow pen.

The Valaks proved to be the bane of the Cossacks!
They pursued them until they routed!
(In an intermediate turn I tried to move them away, but failed the move activation roll...)
This was the sixth and final unit loss for the Russians.
The Swedes won.

Panos P. and his Swedes, triumphant!
He played very well, indeed!

Thank you my friend! Next Saturday, we play together!

Now, honor points counting:
Congrats to Panos for his broad victory!
The game had many ups and downs and we both enjoyed it!

Oh! I forgot again! Add +5 points for the Swedes winning the game!
