Wargaming the Great Northern War: April 2009

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Saturday, 25 April 2009. All this talk about Russians has made me remember that I actually finished one Russian infantryman ages ago. Here he is and I hope he will have a lot more companions shortly! Let's hope I can remember what shade of green I used on him. It's so long ago I have forgotten! Musketeer Russian pikemen are out! It's a shocker but they are actually on sale on the website! And they have taken ages to arrive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Now there is the ad...

Wargaming the Great Northern War: The Sovereign's Servant

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2009/07/sovereigns-servant.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Friday, 10 July 2009. The Swedes are coming! Having seen this 2007 Russian film trailed on the Wars of Louis Quatorze blog I decided to order the international version (which has French and English subtitles) direct from the manufacturer http:/ www.slugagosudarev.com/. I have to say that I wasn't that confident of it arriving from Russia but it appeared in just over a week. Court in a trap. Swedes sir, thousands of em! They look just like the Musketeer minatures figures!

Wargaming the Great Northern War: September 2008

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Tuesday, 2 September 2008. Standard Bearer and more Grenadiers for the Kalmar Regiment. I have five more musketeers under way so hope to get them done this month. I am hoping that Musketeer will be at Colours in ten days time so I can pick up the missing figures I need to complete the first two regiments. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Why start yet another blog and not only a new army but a whole new period? Finally, of course, I am one sixteenth Swedish (from Malmo).

Wargaming the Great Northern War: Musketeer Russian pikemen are out!

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2009/04/musketeer-russian-pikemen-are-out.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Saturday, 25 April 2009. Musketeer Russian pikemen are out! It's a shocker but they are actually on sale on the website! I first saw the green at Colours in Newbury last September (at least I think it was last September but it could have been the year before! And they have taken ages to arrive. 28 April 2009 at 23:23. And yes I bought a shed load of Russian pikes and muskets - enough for 6 battalions of 48! 29 April 2009 at 06:45. That is a lot of Russians! Simply, this ...

Wargaming the Great Northern War: March 2009

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Friday, 20 March 2009. A word about colours. Grimbsy Mariner has made a comment about the colours of the reenactors uniform in the post below. Colours are always a tricky thing. I based all my GNW uniform colours on a visit I made to the Army Museum in Stockholm about 18 months ago. Pikes seemed to vary in colour but I never saw white ones. Old wood turns a dull pale grey but I suspect this was a trick of the light. I tend to go for a pale woody (! Below is a genuine Swe...

Wargaming the Great Northern War: January 2008

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Sunday, 27 January 2008. Saturday, 26 January 2008. The 1644 rules call for one musician per regiment so here is my first drummer. I based the drum on one I photographed in the Army Museum in Stockholm last Autumn. I have now painted nine out of the 36 figures I will need for this regiment. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://greatnorthernwar.blogspot.com/2010/09/some-russian-command.html

Wargaming the Great Northern War. Wednesday, 8 September 2010. I based the uniforms and drum colours on this group of St Petersburg re-enactors. Partizans in the Russian army at the time had single spear-like points rather than the trefoil designs seen in the west. Labels: Preobrazhensky Life Guards. 9 September 2010 at 04:30. Excellent - is it me or does that drummer look like hes whistling nervously? 9 September 2010 at 12:54. Hes probably got bored waiting for the cavalry to come out. Site about the b...
