Big battle between Poland-Lithuania and Sweden (BF&S) AAR

[Anatoli]

Our big By Fire & Sword game was delayed by two weeks, but we finally got to play the biggest battle to date. I faced Thomas who borrowed a couple of regiments and squadrons from Patrik and David, so the Swedish army was huge and there were a lot of new Pike&Shot regiments to give my cavalry all sorts of new trouble. I myself ran my usual army but with the added newly painted up Polish mercenary infantry painted up as Polish Royal Guards.


Our armies looked like this:

Swedish army (45 points)

General with 4 command points

2 Swedish infantry regiments (New Type) with 1 regimental gun each and officers with 3 command points

2  Mercenary infantry regiments (Old Type) with 1 regimental gun each and officers with 3 command points

1 Swedish Reiter regiment (2 full squadrons, one armoured one unarmoured) and officer with 3 command points as well as a junior officer with 1 command point.

Artillery battery with 1x regimental 3pdr, 1x 6pdr, 1x 12pdr and Artillery officer with 2 command points.


Polish army (36 points)

General with 4 command points

1 Polish Crown regiment with 1 squadron of cossack style light cavalry, 1 squadron of Pancerni medium cavalry and 2 stands of Winged Hussars. Officer 3 command points.

1 Polish Dragoon regiment upgraded to Veteran dragoons and officer with 3 command points.

1 Polish Volunteer cavalry regiment with 2 squadrons. Officer with 3 command points.

1 Polish Mercenary infantry regiment. Officer with 3 command points.

Artillery battery with 3x 3pdr Falcon guns and artillery officer with 2 command points.

2 companies of Polish-Hungarian infantry as Divisional support.

Very inspiring. Was reading about this conflict the other night and this has helped increase my interest.

Your gaming tabletop looks very nice. Is it handmade with static grass?

@6sided,
Yes the boards at the club are made out of styrofoam painted and then covered in static grass/flock.
