Taking my Great Northern War Russians and Swedes out I decided to give them a solo run on the table on the back deck one afternoon.
The Swedes had to cross the shallow slow flowing river and push the Russians off their defensive position. The Russian position was held with only Infantry and Artillery , but was well sited, facing the river. The Russian flank was a little in the air, but the expected arrival of a Brigade of Russian Dragoons was supposed to fix that.....it nearly worked.
A fun little game that saw my some of GNW stuff on the table for the first time.
