League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

Alright, now that I have my book, "Scanian War 1675-79" by Lars-Eric Hoglund, and the pdf from Dan Schorr's old site, "Danish Uniforms, Colors and Standards 1675 - 1679", looking for any help with Sample Armies lists for the Swedes and Danes?

Something similar as listed in BLBv2.

Thanks.

Did you search the Nafziger lists so far? Maybe they give a hint where and with what to start. I think CARL was the last link to it

try miniature wargames they had a 3 part artical on lund. which gave you uniform's flags and orders of battle for the skane war's . i can't rember the issues they were in. maybe someone in the forum could help .

You might start off with the orders of battle for the Battle of Halmstad in 1676. This was a small battle, approximately 4,000 on each side, but representative of the usual foot to horse ratio that was actually found in the field. Orders of battle can be found on the sole external link for the Swedish wikipedia article on the battle: http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slaget_vid_Halmstad

One thing to remember is that cavalry made up a large portion of the armies in all the battles in the 1675-1679 war, both in Scania and in Germany. At Lund, cavalry and dragoons made up probably 2/3 of the Swedish army.

I downloaded three ORBATS; Halmstad, Landskrona and Lund. As mentioned, a lot of cavalry. This gets me in the right direction to paint up more cavalry and guys w/breast plates it appears.

Still looking to get something together for a pick-up game, like the lists in the back of BLBv2.

Thanks.

If someone wants to produce such a list, I will upload it into the Warchest
