The Great Northern War - some info on the subject.

Post by Verdun1916 »

Since a new title has been revealed in this game series to be released next year: The Great Northern War I thought I'd
share this very interesting website on the subject.
It's Swedish but also has a lot of info in English. It covers the campaigns, some of the battles, the armies aswell as uniforms worn by both sides
as far as is known. When it comes to the uniforms much of the info and artwork is based on information from the books "Stora nordiska kriget 1700-1721, Fanor och uniformer" parts 1 - 3 by Lars-Eric Höglund and Åke Sallnäs.

Here's the link to the site and it's article on Swedish units present and uniforms worn at the battle of Fraustadt on 3/13 February 1706 (date varies depening on Julian calender used by the Swedes and the Georgian calender used by the Saxons at the time): http://www.tacitus.nu/gnw/battles/Fraustadt/swedes.htm
Link to the sites main page in English: http://www.tacitus.nu/english.html

Hopefully this might be of interest to some of you as future players of the game or to the WDS team working hard on getting us a new game title for the Musket & Pike series of games.

Cheers!

Thanks for your posts. Both have some really great information on a subject I know a lot less about than I realised.

Thank you gentlemen for sharing on the GNW, great info, as I know little of it. I did WSS miniature gaming way back in the day, but that conflict came somewhat before the GNW. It is definitely on my Wishlist on release.
