Danish 3-pounder regimental gun

 Here's another danish unit fresh from the work bench, reasonably happy with the result, especially the basing.

Smålands kavalleriregemente and Skånska tremänningsregementet till häst

Image
I've finished up two small units from the second line of the swedish left flank, Smålands kavalleriregemente and Skånska tre- och femmänningsregementet till häst. These are two very different units, Småland being one of the original "indelta"/alloted cavalry regiments raised before the war and was part of the King's army fighting at Kliszów 1702, Pułtusk 1703, Warszawa 1705, Holowczyn 1708, until it was lost at Poltava, and reraised for the defence of Skåne in 1709, and Skånska tre- och femmänningarna one being one of the temporary regiments raised in 1700 by combining three and five rusthåll to set up one extra cavalryman, only participating in one field battle, i.e at Helsingborg. Johan Valentin von Daldorff, the colonel of Smålands, was originally a messenger from the court of duke Friedrich IV of Holstein-Gottorp sent to its ally Sweden with the news of the peace at Travendal, and then took service in the Swedish army. Daldroff avoided capture at Polt...

Östgöta Cavalry regiment

Image
  Östgöta kavalleriregemente Was a cavalry regiment originally set up in 1636, becoming indelt in 1689 drawing croft soldiers from the province of Östergötland. As part of the royal army it took part in the battles of Kliszow 1702, Warsawa 1705, Holowczyn 1708 and lost to the last man at Poltava. It was reraised and positioned under Lieutenant general Burenskiöld on the swedish left flank in the battle of Helsingborg 1710.  It was led in the battle by the acting regimental colonel Bertil Roxendorff (1657-1711), 53 year old at the time and formally retired from a life of military service in the regiment. Born as Roxman in Östergötland, he took service as a simple cavalryman in 1674, and fought with merit in the scanian war. He was made quartermaster in 1677, and promoted to Rittmeister at the start of the Great Northern War. Served for 35 years in the regiment until his formal discharge in 1706, when he also was ennobled, taking the name of Roxendorff. The battle of Helsi...

Start of the Helsingborg 1710 project

Image
Without further ado, my first finished units for my first wargaming project in 10mm, the 1710 battle of Helsingborg between Sweden and Denmark. The units are based for the Gå på Wargame rules for the Great Northern War. I decided to try out painting in this new scale on the smallest and quickest units to finish, i.e a command unit. This command stand is supposed to represent the army commander, thus field marshal Magnus Stenbock. The second finished unit: Riksänkedrottningens livregemente till häst (Queen Dowager of the Realm's life regiment on horse). An Indelt cavalry regiment mustering conscripts from the provinces of Halland and Bohuslän, stationed in Sweden for the first half of the war, taking part in the battles of Helsingborg 1710, Gadebusch 1712 and captured at Tönningen the year after with the surrender of field marshal Stenbock's army. In the muster of 1708 noted as being equipped with second rate uniforms, unserviceable muskets and small horses.
