Description

By Fire and Sword -
Kingdom of Denmark and Norway: Danish Skirmish Set
Summary: Set of unpainted miniatures for By Fire and Sword.
By Fire and Sword is a 15mm scale historical wargame developed by Wargamer. This realistic, playable and dynamic wargame recreates the 17th century wars in Europe, focusing on the periods between 1640 and 1676; a time of almost constant warfare waged by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on all fronts, in many cases with several enemies at the same time.
Defense of many Danish strongpoints and towns was based mainly on national units, their strength was increased before the war, in 1657. They usually included musketeer units supported by national cavalry companies. However this second formation lacked experience so it was often supported by mercenary cavalry. In the face of the Swedish offensive the local forces were often supported by partisans. The renowned snapphanar were sometimes able to delay the attacking Swedes and to cut their lines of communication.
