SWE-12 Swedish Skirmish Set

Swedish Skirmish Set
(SWE-12)

Swedish Skirmish Set is a great start for everyone who wants to begin an adventure with “By Fire and Sword”. The set includes the basis of a Detachment – one of the variants of a Swedish skirmish force. It lets you play at this level of the game. The set includes a Colonel, two Reiter companies, two Dragoon companies and a 3pdr regimental gun with crew.

Reiters were the basic Swedish cavalry unit in the 17th century. National reiters – Swedish and Finnish did not use any armor in this period and wore only a leather jerkin. On their heads they wore felt hats instead of the much more expensive helmets.
Their armament included a pair of pistols and a backsword. In combat Swedish reiters usually charged with drawn swords but sometimes also used their pistols.

Dragoons – Mounted infantry called dragoons were perfect support for the Swedish cavalry. Mobility was its main advantage – it was able to keep up with cavalry on the march and dismount later to provide fire support on the battlefield.

Regimental gun – easy to transport, provided good support for cavalry and infantry. Fire of regimental artillery greatly increased the firepower of musketeers. The guns could shoot case-shot shot and cannonballs.
