Hind; Marlborough at Blenheim, West End Games, 1979 by D.S. Palter and A Famous Victory, 1995, by R. Berg) and by looking at Boardgamegeek there are many others.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">There are also many <span style="caret-color: rgb(102, 0, 0);">scenarios</span> for miniatures, also for the rules I use, V&B and Maurice. However these scenarios require more miniatures than I have and furthermore I don’t have French and Confederate armies in my collection.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">So i decided, just for fun in this cold and wet lockdown January sunday to refight Blenheim by using simple rules and proxy armies. As far as the rules are concerned i decided and ha to try those given in the website Juniorgeneral, which has also a scenario dedicated to Blenheim (https://juniorgeneral.org/wss/blenheim.html). In these rules any unit is comprised of six base on two lines. The frontage of infantry is 2.25 inches (57 mm) whereas that of cavalry is 4.5 inches (114 mm). I fudged a little the basing and any infantry unit will be formed by two 40 mm bases (80 mm, a little larger) whereas the cavalry is on three 40 mm bases (120 mm). The rules prescribe base removal: i stick with the V&B philosophy of losses as combat capacity reduction so i shall simply put beyond the units a number which gives the current force. The original rules provide for unit removal when it is reduced to one base, here the unit is removed when also last point is destroyed.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Another modification is the following. In the rules the Franco-Bavarian cavalry fires with a charge bonus of +1, whereas the confederate doesn’t fire but has a charge bonus of +2. Following the suggestion of Richard Berg, for the French cavalry alone the first time the unit charges a dice is rolled: on 1,2,3 they follow the fire discipline, on 4,5,6 they charges at cold steel and have a +2 bonus. This choice is maintained for the whole game.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;">Now the proxies: the French are proxied by my GNW swedes whereas the Conferate are proxied by GNW russian and danish (some danish regiment where indeed at Blenheim as mercenary unit for the Maritime Powers). The most eye-sighted between you shall detect also some napoleonic french artillery proofing confederate artillery. I beg your pardon, sirs.</span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: georgia; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p><p style="font-stretch: normal;

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A Great Northern War army can’t stay without Cossacks: there were the Russian ones, the Polish, the Swedish Allied Mazeppa’s and the Swedish Valacker which collectively are all Cossacks. My idea is to have a suitable numbers of them and then add a base with a Polish flag or a Swedish officier in blue to represent Polish Cossacks and Valacker respectively, whereas all the other not identified units would represent Russians.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Browsing Pinterest of other websites I found many images, painting and reenactor pictures to have a basic guidance to the dress of riders and horses.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The first one is the Smaland Tremannings. It was in Livland and then with the Lewenhaupt army. After the disaster at Lesnaja the survivors were placed in the Livgardet. According to Hoglund the coat was blue but the “gray vadmal pajrock” with yellow linings and cuffs was in use for the privates. The second regiment is the Södermalands (och Östgota) Tremannings (blue lining). It was a short lived unit, broken in 1703 after the Colonel Putbus death, one battalion transferred to Livgardet, the other to the Upplands Tremannings. Reraised in 1712 with an history of reraising and breaking till 1721. Miniatures are the usual mix of Strelets and Mars.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: medium;">As it can be seen in previous post, the Danish cavalry for Helsinborg was painted with one base for each regiment. However, as I did for the Swedish and Russian cavalry all the regiments will be double-based. In this way two bases can be used as “regimental base” for V&B and a four-bases unit for Maurice will represents a two-regiment brigade.</span></div>

The ensign has a converted hat from a tricorne into the old-fashioned one wich is depicted in the Snorranson article on the Danish Army, whereas the cuirassier in the other base had an head-swapping with another miniature.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Present at Holowczin and Poltava, then at the Prut an from 1711-19 in Pomerania. The blue uniform was introduced in 1711. Three grenadiers are from Zvedza “Russian Infantry of Peter the Great” box, the other three are converted from the Preobrazenski grenadiers from the Strelets box “Guard of Peter I”, by modifying the grenadier cap.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The cavalry was from the Zvedza box “Dragoons of Peter I”: they are simply outstanding, areal pleasure to paint. The flag has the motif in relief but it was not a problem since it was exactly the motif of the Moskowsky regiment I opted to paint. The only drawbacks of the box is that it has only 10 figures on the horse, the other being dismounted dragoons (nicely done with the horse holders and different arms): this requires a disproportionate amount of boxes to obtain a sizeable force. However one can have also a sizeable force of dismounted dragoons. The Moskowsky regiment was raised in Moscow in 1700 as Gulitz’s (Goltz). At Narva, then in the baltic theatre, at Kalisz 1706, Poltava and Pruth. The officers wore the red waistcoat with blue cuffs, a nice variation.</span></div>

Its colonel till 1705 was Gordon, a Tsar close acquaintance. It was in the Azov campaign 1695-96, then at the Narva defeat. In the Baltic campaign then in Poland.

Golytzin, was wounded at Narva. The regiment was on three battalions.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">A final view of the russian infantry painted thus far, the
equivalent of 37 battalions: to complete the Poltava OoB I need at least 14 more
battalions whose uniforms will be red, white, green, yellow and blue, just to
add some more uniform variations.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I completed the first eleven regiment of Russian cavalry put on two bases each: these were the cavalry units from the Holowczin OoB which I painted with only one 40x40 mm base for each regiment. I changed the Vladimirsky flag I did previously, which I incorrectly depicted with the 1712 model, with a 1700-1708 model taken from the Hoglund book and changed some details, like the Belozersky karpus. Let introduce them again (the spelling may be incorrect, who knows..):</span><br />

</span>something of out-of-the-track could be done. I am already planning to do
a couple of Tremannings regiments in gray coat and the Valacks, these by using
the Orion cossacks. By the way the Valacks can be used either as Polish or
Russian Cossacks, the only difference will be a “command base” with a swedish
officier for Valacks, a Polish flag for the Poles and I don’t know what for the
Russians.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Having done the Swedish, Russian and Danish armies (enough
to refight Holowczin, Poltava and Helsinborg), it could be the time to move my
attention to the Saxon-Polish army which can widen the horizon to Klissow,
Fraustadt and Gadebusch as well as to a lot of smaller actions (the crossing of
Duna in 1701 would be an interesting scenario, look <a href="http://badwargamers.com/bad/?p=1029">here</a> for an example)</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The uniforms are well documented, at least for the Saxon
part. Besides the Hoglund book there are the Dan Schorr tables from his defunct
site Northernwars.com. For the Polish contingent some informations can be
obtained by the two Osprey volumes of R. Brezinski on the Polish Army and from
the blogs <a href="http://rusmilhist.blogspot.it/">Oderint dum Probent</a> and <a href="http://kadrinazi.blogspot.it/">Kadrinazi</a>. Anyway it will become necessary at
least to have some Winged Hussards, a colorful addition to any collection. The
other cavalry (Pancerni, Jadza Lekka, Dragoons and Arquebusier, Cossacks) and
the elusive infantry units can follow later. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since I had a very good experience with the Mars Saxon
Infantry, which I used to represent the Danish, I’ll probably use them to
depicts my Saxon Infantry. I have not yet decided if I’ll use the Zvedza or the
Strelets miniatures for the cavalry. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I would like also to finish the Kolin analysis, this time with V&B and DB-Hx (or HFG) and give a similar treatment to some GNW battles. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With these regiments I completed the swedish cavalry for Poltava: now
I have 24 bases which can be used as 6 V&B 3”x3” Brigade stands or 6
four-bases units for Maurice or Black-Powder.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first regiment is the Karelska (Viborgs och Nyslotts län): at
Poltava its outfit was the standard blue coat with hat; however I decided to
represent it in the 1702 uniform with grey coat and karpus. To do this I
converted the Strelets figures by cutting away the tricorne and putting on its
place some spare karpus from the worst figures of the Swedish infantry box:</span></div>

because one base was already done before. I added a second base with the
flag-bearer: the 1686 model flag was captured at Poltava. The regiment was with
the King main army since 1702.</span></div>

represent with only one base (maybe one day I shall “augment” also them to two
bases each). These three regiments are a selection of the many understrenght
dragoon regiments which were present at Poltava, namely the Heilm ( former
Stenbock, yellow facings), Gyllenstierna (red facings) and Meyerfeldt (orange
facings) regiments. </span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Heilm kettledrummer came from the Swedish cavalry box with a
tricorne head in place of the helmet. The Meyerfeldt regiment didn’t
partecipated at the battle, being in guard duty at the swedish camp in
Pushkarjova: however the orange facing are so tempting…</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finally, after having done all the swedish cavalry with Strelets
miniatures, I decided to paint the last two regiments with the Zvedza “Swedish
Dragoons” figures. They are a real pleasure to paint indeed, a very different
style form Strelets. However, to be fair, the Strelets have a definite
“character” and is a real satisfaction to get the best from them, because at a
glance they didn’t look so inspiring. The Zvedza are indeed on an another
planet. Anyway they mix well enough (not in the same base, clearly) and to have
some units in a “smarter outfit” gives variety to my army.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The Sodra Skanska trumpeter livery is a result of an educated
guesswork, since no informations on the uniform are available. Both the
regiments belonged to the King’s Army from 1702: captured after Poltava were
reraised but used as garrison troops because of<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>lack of horses and equipment.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">As far as the flag is concerned, Zvedza gives a dragoon flag with the
tails and with a cross engraved (strangely enough, since such a flag can’t be
found in the Hoglund book), which is probably the only drawback of an otherwise
perfect kit. I cut the tail to have a squarish standard and overpainted the
Norra Skanska flag with two heavy coats of the Mordian Blue GW “base color”,
finishing the flag at hand.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Together with the 32 infantry battalions (which I will show soon)
these figurese represents the equivalent of 96 squadrons which with the
complement of guns and general officier allows to represent the Swedish Army in
all the GNW battles. In the future however I plan to add some bases of the elusive
“Valaker” (I’ll probably will depict them as cossacks with a swedish officier
since they were indeed polish cossacks) and a base with a cart, useful to
represent objective or camp for the rules which require such an item, an
example of which is given in this 1711 print representing the swedish trophies
captured at Poltava entering in Moscow:</span></div>

placed in the Vastamalands regiments at Poltava: the other battalion at Riga
and captured there in 1710).</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The miniatures are Mars, all form the Swedish Infantry box but the

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The other regiment is the Osterbotten, a solely muskeeter regiment
with the same story of the previous: at Poltava it was merged with the Närke-Värmlands.
The kneeling figure is again from Mars, the others are Strelets. I changed my
mind with respect the original plan (see previous posts) and added a grenadier
figure since there were 100 grenadiers out of 1200 soldiers. Also in this case
the flag was scanned from the Hoglund book.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To command the infantry I did a base representing the General Adam
Ludwig Lewenhaupt (1659-1719) His name in swedish should sound <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Leijonhufvud</i> (In italian the swedish pronunce
of such a name sound awkward as a norse spell…). His defeat at Lesnaja put a
shadow on a previoulsly good career: indeed he was able to defend the Baltic
provinces when is King was dealing with Saxon and Polish. His care of his
soldiers is reflected in the final surrender of the beaten army at
Perevolochna. He was despised by Rehnskjold and treated with some comptent by
the King (He called him the “Latin general” because he mastered such a
language: intellectuals are ever misplaced in any army, as far as I known…).</span></div>

I finished the swedish infantry for Poltava which now is represented by 32
bases (indeed 32 battalions) which are equivalent to 16 V&B regimental
stands or 8 four-bases units in either Maurice or Black Powder. In a next post
I’ll show all the infantry parading in front of the injuried King.</span></span><!--EndFragment-->

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Any decent replay of Poltava
can’t be done without the famed
redoubts. As we all remember, the Russians built 10 redoubts straight on the
swedish advance line just the night before the battle (some of them were indeed
unfinished at the beginning of the swedish attack). In my scenarios I reduced
the number to 5 and started to think how represent them.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">however, given the scale of my
scenarios (a 40x30mm base represents a battalion and a 40x40 base represents
4-5 squadrons), rather than a “real” redoubt capable to receive a real
garrison, I decided to represent the redoubts as terrain items with specific
combat capabilities (more or less like the DBHx “Strongpoint”). A token
miniature then will represent the presence of a garrison whose values and
capabilities are given by the scenario rules.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It follows that my redoubts size will
be 65x55 mm with an empty space more or less of 40x30 mm inside to host the
token miniatures (one or two, I have not yet decided).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here I’ll show the steps I
followed to build my redoubts.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">First of all a cut a rectangular thick cardboard 65x55 mm and a “rod” taken from an HD
polystirene insulating board, of an approximatively square cross-section<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>about 20 mm.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">When I started to paint GNW Swedish, the idea was to use them to refight Holowczin with V&B at the battalion level, half-scale. Accordingly, each regiment of infantry was represented by a 40x30 mm scale, roughly half of a standard V&B 3x1.5 inches base. With such a basing two bases represented a regiment, full-scale (80x30 mm being close to 3x1.5 inches). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">As far as the cavalry was concerned, a single 40x40 mm base represented (at battalion level and half-scale) a single regiment: clearly, at the full-scale a 3x3 inches brigade should be represented by an 80x80 mm square base which could be represented by putting two bases on a sabot. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Later I turned to the full regimental scale and thus I realized that every cavalry regiment I painted must be doubled. In such a way 4 bases could be used to represent a V&B cavalry brigade or a Maurice four bases "unit" or also a Black Powder 4 bases "normal unit". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So I crossed the Rubicon and started to double the existing Swedish cavalry regiments (Russian and Danish will follow, sooner or later): for manifold reasons I decided instead to represent Dragoons with only one base, in such a way that a 4 bases unit will be formed by four different regiments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I am thinking about Poltava: it is an interesting battle to play and
not so one-sided as it can looks at a glance. My idea is to play it with
V&B at the regimental scale and Maurice (so I can use my Notables). Looking
at the Orders of Battle I realized that I am short of units, since my Swedish
army is based on Holowczin and Helsinborg whereas the Russian one is based
solely on Holowczin.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Accordingly I started to paint units and here I proudly present the
first results (never, never forget that I am a very slow painter….)</span></div>

Drabants whereas the standing figure depicts the Hetman Mazeppa. For the

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Now I must paint two more regiments to have enough swedish infantry. I
choosed the Nyland and the Osterbotten Regiments, both with karpus, the
Osterbotten regiment being a muskeeter-only unit. To show the process I follow
when I plan to paint an unit here there are the pictures of the “raw” material.</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The “Osterbotteners” (did such a word exists?). Again the grey are
Mars, the brown Strelets whereas the green one is from the Mars box “Saxon
Infantry of Great Northern War” which we met before under Danish disguise. Of
course I have to replace the hats with karpus whereas the big-bellied officier
shall be modified to carry the flag and bayonets will be added to muskets. I
choose a fifer because the karpus and the coat are laced with yellow/blue/white
braid, a nice and defying combination to paint.</span></div>

(bases) which are the equivalent of 8 Maurice units or 16 V&B regimental
bases, enough to play Poltava. I’ll return on the scenario the next post,
before to deal with the Swedish cavalry and the Russians host.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Another new project…..</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Pretty busy in many real-life involvments, last night I took from the shelves “The Campaign for the Liberation of Saxony, 1758” by Alistar Brabant, translated by Alistar Sharman and Neil Cogswell, LTR-Verlag 1998 (two volumes, the second filled by maps, drawings and OOB).</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There are no full-scale battles between the ReichsArmee and the Prussian Army of Prince Henry, the most important actions being at Sebastienberg and Eilenburg. The only noticeable encounter was indeed Hochkirch between the old lions Fritz and Daun.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nevertheless the campaign narrative leaves open the possibility of many interesting scenarios, as the -aborted- joint Austrian-Imperial attack on Dresden.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Accordingly, since I have a full ReichsArmee and enough Austrian, Prussian and Saxons to play a full-scale campaign, I would like to design a campaign scenario, starting from the late summer positions. The description, besides Brabant, can be found schematically on <a href="http://www.kronoskaf.com/syw/index.php?title=1758_-_Austrian_invasion_of_Saxony">Kronoskaf</a>. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I have to choose the time and space scale: in my mind the map would be a point-to-point one, with a degree of detail greater than the WOR campaign. At this time there are two boardgames with a point-to-point map of Saxony, both dedicated to the Napoleon campaign of 1813:</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The rule Maurice allows for the use of "Notables" which represents subordinate officers or characters which are attached to a specific unit which is granted some benefices specified in the Notable Card. They are fictional and introduce some chrome. However nobody prohibits to design your own Notable based on an Historical character.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Accordingly I designed some Notable cards for the Great Northern War with the battle of Poltava in mind. They were first drawn in Power Point and then converted in jpeg. This allowed me to use some nice portraits of the most important general officers which fought at Poltava.</span></div>
