GNW Polish Light Cavalry

Hi, the last unit of Polish Cavalry from the basing department for a while. These are Polish Light Cavalry whether you prefer to call them Polish Cossacks, Kossaks, Lithuanian Tatars, Vlachs or whatever your preference.


These are all TAG miniatures, they are lovely to paint but I do like my cavalry charging forward at their enemy and the horses, whilst nice, are not that dynamic for the most part. Still I am happy with how they turned out.


The Poles are particularly useful, I may have mentioned before that they fought alongside Saxon, Russian d and Swedish armies as well as engaging in their own Civil War with thousands of Cavalry at some battles (though very rarely any infantry) There will be another Brigade of these at some point probably with a unit of Dragoons mixed in.

 I also took the opportunity to snap the whole Brigade together. Not a million miles away from a game now, possibly before the end of November if the basing department can keep up. So expect to see these guys used in anger for the first time quite soon.

Next post is likely to be an after action report of our AWI game this coming Sunday. A slightly beefed up version of Bemis Heights (beefed up because two extra players are last minute additions so we needed to give them a brigade each) promises to be an interesting game and something a bit different to Great Northern War for you the reader. Until then, take it easy and keep your powder dry.
