The day I have been waiting for so long finally arrived. By compiling the Swedish national infantry that Patrik and Thomas had, together with the Reiters David had painted up I managed to set up a full Level 2 "Division sized" game of By Fire & Sword.

This was the first time we actually used Generals, hidden orders, scenario and reconnaissance special rules. It was too awesome to describe it in words!

I love this game, and we had already started to form tactics and "do's / don'ts"  by the end of the day from the experience.

The armies were made up of:

Poland-Lithuanian Crown Division
Crown cavalry regiment
Volunteer regiment
Dragoon regiment

Swedish Garrison Division
2x Swedish National infantry regiments
1x Veteran Reiter regiment

Description of the scenario and reconnaissance rules as well as full AAR and 57 pictures can be found on my blog:

Looks great, I love these figures.

Don't suppose there's any more been heard about when the English version might be available? I know it encountered delays meaning the May release was put back, and from what I've seen will be well worth the wait when it does turn up anyway!

I will post news from the manufacturer later today, just compiling a blog post with an update on the main rules and news about near future releases  :)

And yes, the rules are worth waiting for, they are imo crazy good!
