Perhaps blue dice might blend in a little more

Lovely unit once again .

Another great looking unit. For released PoW they got some nice uniforms!

With the basing are you going with the sandy / dry earth look, or is it WIP?

Well spotted, just taking some creative license with depicting the batallion Panda even though it was phased out early with the implementation of the 1701 infantry regulations

I should probably just take the dice away for taking the photos! It isn't really an issue on the gaming table  I think, they're there for gaming reasons, so I'd like them to be visible

Höglund actually mentions that they were supposed to have even fancier uniforms, gold lace in the seams of the coats to promote "faithfulness and zeal for his Majesty's service", but the receipts seems to note that this was not followed through with.

Yeah, I'm trying to have a rather subdued basing that works both summer and winte, and "dead grass no snow" works if you squint for a battle fought in southern Sweden in early march. 

In hindsight, I could either have mixed in a little more green in the flock, or changed to brown sand/stones to have have a marshier  early spring look.

  Time to get your medication adjusted (again). 

Another nice unit. 

I've finallly had time to occupy our dining table for a test run of the Gå På wargaming rules with a smaller sized battle, vaguely corresponding with the battle of Helsingborg, i.e roughly equal amount of infantry (although the danish with a lot of veteran and elite regiments), and the swedish cavlary force larger than the danish. I really enjoyed the feel of the rules, the cavalry shocks and countershocks on both flanks felt really good, the big infantry clash at the end of the battle got pretty complex, but not to the point of becoming boring.

The right danish flank got crushed and demoralised very early, a blwo which the danish never really could recover from, their left held on for several charges and countercharges before finally breaking, the infantry clash was brutal, on both sides, but I decied that when the royal guard on the right in a partial square finally broke, the game was definitely over.

  

Good stuff

Great looking game! You must be pleased to have got to the stage of having enough units painted to be able to play.

Thank you! Absolutely, it was a great feeling of finally seeing them on the table, well worth the 6 months of working on the painting. 

Great game there and just the sort of size that would work nicely chez moi. Nice to see you units in action too .

An excellent looking game and two nice armies.

Great to see them in action

Interesting having unit labels at the back of the table, makes the information readily available but doesn't 'clutter' the troop area

Good to see them in action, at last (and after only 6 months)! 

Although these rules are sitting somewhere in a box, I've never played Ga Pa.

Superb
Really impressive looking game
