Battle of Jakobstadt 1704 scenario
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2016 3:53 pm
Hi Guys,
My new scenario, Jakobstadt 1704, is now available. Here are the design notes;
I used the Great Northern War Compendium, Lars Hoglund's two volumes on the GNW and Tacitus.nu's website as the basis for this scenario.
1) The Smolensk Szclachta are a bit of a mystery, I have assumed that they were Noble Levy Cavalry.
2) I have reduced all infantry units (except Swedes) using less sophisticated firing techniques to 80% Musket. As the Swedes have the Salvo capability, they are already reduced at short range and if I reduce their Salvo percentage that would affect their impact capability. So I withdrawn their Regimental gun capability instead, although I have kept the LG graphic.
3) Both the Russian and Swedish troops were still wearing old style uniforms at this stage in the war.
6) This scenario uses the RBS socket bayonet mod, which also allows Swedish salvo infantry to charge cavalry.
7) I have given these early war Swedish infantry an increased movement rate, equivalent to Determined Foot.
6) Difficulty Rating; Hard.
7) Sideicons are as follows;
Swedish; Major General Adam Ludwig Lewenhaupt, commanded at this battle.
Lithuanian; Grand Hetman Michal Serwacy Wisniowiecki, the army at Jakobstadt.
Cheers
Paul
