More Tczew stuff

 Been making lots of progress with terrain, movement trays and other miscellaneous aspects of the game. Less than two weeks!


Test run on the tables at the local game store where I'll be celebrating.


Roads and more/better swamps pending, and maybe some clutter for the camps and villages, but otherwise the terrain is pretty much sorted.


A Potocki (can't remember which one it is at Tczew), first Polish Commander I ever made.


Marcin Kazanowski


I've read that Mikolaj Abramowicz should probably be in western garb, I do have a mini in mind to replace this one but we'll see if I get it painted in time.


Johan Baner


Herman Wrangel


Graf von Thurn, one of my favorite conversions.



Put a wet bit on Koniecpolski's base, since his army's deployment zone has swamps in it.


Adolphus gets a fence to jump over, to disguise the support for his horse.

I saw a discussion on the Via Regia blog about how Koniecpolski wouldn't have had a banner, which I took as an excuse not to bother with banners for any commanders. Just musicians, sorry! The overall commanders each get a clergyman to make them seem more important.

  1. Somehow I put Kazanowski in the infantry commander tray and Potocki in a cavalry commander tray when it should be the other way around, oh well.

    1. Very nice set of commanders. Potocki that would be Mikołaj Potocki, who was in charge of the cavalry regiment, that was kept as reserve. Neither he nor Kazanowski would be in charge of any infantry. Foreign infantry and dragoons would be under command of Jacob (James) Butler, while Polish-Hungarian infantry under command of Samuel Nadolski.

    2. Thanks! The game will be multi-player Pike & Shotte with one player per battalia, and unfortunately I don't expect enough participants to reflect a more accurate command structure. If attendance is better than expected, Butler and Nadolski might show up though...
