Mój wybór padł na armię szwedzką, między innymi dlatego, że jej regimenty są najbardziej "uniwersalne" - piechota i część jazdy mogą być wykorzystywane (po zmianie sztandarów) również do reprezentowania innych armii zachodnioeuropejskich z tego okresu. Sami Szwedzi walczyli również nie tylko w Europie Wschodniej (której dotyczy system Ogniem i Mieczem).
I' ve announced coming back to more distant history and it has happened - new epoch, 17th Century was started. I was finally persuaded to buy army for a new battle system issued by Wargamer - By fire and sword.
My choice was Swedes, i.a. because their rgiments are most "universal" - infantry and part of cavalry may (after chainging their banners) represent most of Western European armies of the period. Swedes were also fighting not only in Eastern Europe (by Fire and Sword system is mainly about Eastern European warfare).

First stand (that can also be used in FOG Renaissance) represents the command. 15 mm figures by Wargamer - very nicely sculpted and casted. Working on them was a real pleasure.

Ten stand będzie przedstawiał pułkownika dowodzącego podjazdem z okresu Drugiej Wojny Północnej (1655-1660), której jeden z epizodów znany jest w Polsce jako "potop szwedzki".
Swedish army was famous across Europe for its discipline and command. Since Thirty Years War and reforms of king Gustav II Adolf it was made much more professional than it was before. It was also important that many soldiers and officers were veterans of various conflicts.
This stand will represent command of the Swedish warring party from Second Northern War (1655-1660), among episodes of which was one known in Poland as "Swedish deluge".

Very nice painting. What colours did you use to paint the buff coat of the standard bearer? That's exactly the colour I'm looking for.
I used Vallejo "Desert Yellow" 70977. Figures were aso dipped in the Army Painter dip (medium).
