An ambitious game to start with

Don't those hussars look good

Clearly the Poles need to face off the Swedish infantry with their pancerni and hajduks, and attack the Swedish cavalry with their hussars.

I would happily take those old hussars off your hands.

I was thinking of getting a Polish army once the lists are out.....after these pictures (wow is right) it's a cinch.

Those Hussars are lovely.

How many points per side was that?

What are the 1683 Polish Hussars equipped with ? Do they go Light Lance & Pistol like the Hungarians in WoR ?

Its Swordsmen for the melee capability not Pistol

That will make it rough for them against melee pistol armed horse right?

Not if their opponents are not steady - and that is where the Impact Mounted comes in.

If you disrupt the pistols in impact, they don't get pistol v sword, and sword counts v unsteady pistol.

Also in period they may well get better armour too.

Very brave for a first try. Wonderful figures (again).

How many Polish Hussars can we have for 1683, and who does the best figures ?

Thanks ! Glad you liked the pictures of Oskars minis:)

We didn´t count any points, just used all minis Oskar had painted up....but after a fast calculation it would have been about 1100-1200 points on each side, depending on the grading of the units/generals(average/superior etc)

The Hussars are from Assault group but the Wings are from Essex...and the Lances from warlord, the paintfrom Valeio and they are all painted by my friend Oskar:)


Swedish brigades

E-X-C-E-L-L-E-N-T paint job! Just EXCELLENT!!!

Are they 15mm or bigger?

From the link:

The premiere game was a first try out of FoG Renaissance with Oskars stunning 28mm Swedish and Polish TYW armies.

very nice paint job indeed.
