By Fire & Sword Ambush scenario AAR

[Anatoli]

Thomas was the last guy at the club who had not yet tried out skirmish level battles for By Fire & Sword - though him and me had played a lot of Division sized battles over the past year. This helped as he was able to grasp things very quickly and realized that skirmish is basically the same thing as Division battles - but on a smaller scale.

We put together a Swedish and a Polish list which if I recall correctly looked like this:


Polish 1650-66 skirmish force: 13FSP

Colonel with 3 command points
Rotamaster with 1 command point
3 bases of Pancerni cavalry
6 bases of Pancerni cavalry with spears
6 bases of Polish dragoons
9 bases of Cossack style cavalry


Swedish detachment: 9FSP

Colonel with 3 command points
Major with 1 command point
4 bases of Mercenary Reiter’s
2 bases of Mercenary Veteran Reiter’s
6 bases of National infantry
1 regimental 3pdr artillery gun
