By Fire & Sword: Poles vs Cossacks patrol AAR

[Anatoli]

We played By Fire & Sword again two weeks ago at the club, a lot of stuff (topped by a cold) prevented me  from writing and posting this AAR until now.
Things have been really slow on the blog lately, though it's not dead and I hope that the trip to the BF&S tournament in Poland at the end of March will pick things up over the next couple of weeks :-)

Anyway, this battle was between the Polish skirmish force 1650-66 and the Cossack skirmish force lists, the Poles maxed the list completel while the cossacks maxed out on units but not stands and wagons since Christian fielded whatever he had been able to rapidly paint up to a tabletop standard for this game. He borrowed some of my models to fill in for mounted cossacks and the plastuny scout units.

If memory serves me right the lists looked something like this:

13 FSP Polish early skirmish force (maxed out)

2 Banners of  Pancerni with spears
1 Banner of Pancerni
3 banners of cossack style cavalry
2 banners of dragoons
2 banners of Volunteers
Colonel 4 command points
Rotamaster 1 command point

15FSP Cossack skirmish force

Colonel with 4 command points
Esaul (proxied with mounted commander mini) 1 command point
2 plastuny scouts (proxied with Polish-Hungarian infantry)
1 sotnia of Elite mounted cossacks
3 Moloitsy sotnias
3 Register Moloitsy sotnias
1 sotnia of Reigsterer Moloitsy  veterans
4 wagons

The scenario rolled was "Patrol", additional effects generated by the cossack player was "Choice of battlefield" and "Panic".
