Great Northern War 28mm battle
« on: March 27, 2012, 10:59:54 AM »
The Great Northern War (1700–21) was a conflict in which a coalition led by the Tsardom of Russia successfully contested the supremacy of the Swedish Empire in northern Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The initial leaders of the anti-Swedish alliance were Peter I the Great of Russia, Frederick IV of Denmark–Norway and August II the Strong of Saxe-Poland-Lithuania. Frederik IV and August II were forced out of the alliance in 1700 and 1706 respectively, but re-joined it in 1709. George I of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) joined the coalition in 1714 for Hanover and in 1717 for Britain, and Frederick William I of Brandenburg-Prussia joined it in 1715.

A nice collection of Front Rank figures, although to be pedantic about it the armies are WSS Austrians and Dutch rather than GNW Swedes, Russians, Danes and Saxons.

Rules were actually our own house rules.  Eight pages, quick and simple allowing games to be played with lots of large battalions in just a few hours.
In wargaming as in life - don't accept cheap imitations
