Good stuff - glad to hear you are over Covid too. 

I do like the last regiment with their red trousers!

 Superb!

Fine work again and hope you're feeling better after your brush with Covid.

God jul! While progress has been somewhat slow on the painting front (1 or 2 units of danish infantry waiting for the "good" camera to be fixed), I had another, larger solo game of Gå På. This one was quite different, as initial weather rolls, and a subsequent random events paired with a lot of musket fire put the LOS down to an absolute minimum in the later stages, making a rather chaotic and even battle, but it was tons of fun!


Initial setup. Swedish cavalry somewhat stronger, danish infatry of better quality and with a 6pdr gun battery on the right flank.










Beginning of the infantry clash.

Lines getting shred. Danish centre wheathered the initial melee better than the swedish, but was later outflanked, ending up routing the first line.

Back with another Danish infantry regiment finished, this time the 1. Danske Infanteriregiment, formed in 1703 when the Danish Auxilliary corps in Austrian service had to consolidate its seven batted regiments into three. It served in the war of the spanish succession until 1709 when it was called back to Denmark to participate in the invasion of Skåne, where it served on Rantzau's left. by the look of the POW lists it managed to retreat to Helsingborg reasonably intact compared to the units on the right.

Superb work there

[Ithoriel]

Those units are looking good!

The game looks good too - wreathed in the fog cotton wool of war

Another good looking unit. 

I like the battle too - I seem to have missed that before Xmas. Always good to see lots of cotton wool smoke wreathing the troops

These look wonderful! I've been pondering with starting a League of Augsburg/War of the Grand Alliance project myself, and these are great inspiration; I love how the basing and uniforms really play off one another!
