Poles and Muscovites- small scenario


Polish Pancerni

 I opened up a scenario booklet and was looking at one of the scenarios- a holding action. A small force stopping a larger force from pushing thru their line of defence. I looked up the required forces and put the Muscovites on the table as the defenders and the Poles as the attackers.

The Muscovite position. On the southern side of the road- a unit of Nobles ( Dvor) a units of Boyar cavalry a streltsi shot unit, big gun and just off screen at the bottom, some cossack light cavalry.
To the north another Boyar cavalry unit, two units of Streltsi, one with shot only, the other as 'German' infantry- pike and shot. Their mission was to stop the Poles pushing along the road.


Muscovites and Poles vs the Ottomans

 Well, there's lots of them- and I threw them all onto the table earlier this year.

A combined Polish and Muscovite force took on my full Ottoman army...and it was a blood bath.

Paul commanded the Muscovites, Ross the Poles and I of course commanded the mighty forces of the Sultan!!



It happens a lot......Muscovites!!

 I was sitting here one day admiring my Ottomans. I do that a lot.

Then, as is my wont- I started admiring my Renaissance Poles. I do that a lot too.

Then...I figured,  well..who else can I collect that I could admire....hmmm well....someone to fight the Poles...and to fight the Ottomans........well why not?

So I started 'window shopping' via the 'net. I do that a lot too.

I was looking at The Assault Group website. I do that a lot.

And ..well, like magic...all these figures appeared. That too happens a lot at my place... ....they just magically arrive on my doorstep.




The command stand- painted.
