Thank you very much !

Yes I belive all the minis in Skaraborg regiment (Yellow/Black) are from Warfare Miniatures

Below the regimental colours. Each company had a colour of their own, the White one was with the 1st company (the Coonels Company),  the remaining 7 companys had the black and yellow colour

Another great battle report.
Looks like your rules are working well.
Glad you are having some good play testing.
Are you planning to have others outside your group playtest?
They might find things that could improve the rules.
Look forward to the next report.
I look forward to purchasing  them when they come out.

What did small scale engagements look like in the period? Would small companies of pike and shot go out and operate tactically together just like they would in a larger regiment in a big battle? Would there generally be more lighter armed shot than other foot present. I assume that it would mostly be dragoons on the mounted side?

These are really nice, I will certainly get a copy of the rules when they appear.

It seems that this ruleset is going to be great. However I've got one question - will you incorporate rules for eastern european warfare (tabor wagons, light cavalry, lancers etc.)?

The rules are very generic and I see no preblem to use them for eastern european warfare, I even plan to have eastern european exampel companys in the rules if we have the space. Still much work to do so things can still change.
