Truly a very lively series. And not just duch modulating the figures also the magnificent painting.

The characters have life ....

"The battle that shook Europe" is actually a English translation of a Swedish book "Poltava" by Peter Englund!

Jan, I'm just waiting for that one to be delivered and am looking forward to reading it.

That looks a good read Bernt. I've just read a review (using translator) on the Karolinska förbundet website.
Shame there isn't an English translation.

No, unfortunately, I have not read this book. The book that I read is called "The Road to Poltava. Battle of Lesnaja 1708
It is issued by a militarian-history book club. Think it is only available in Swedish.

Bernt, I have those same Pikemen but what a good idea to include the civilians and animals, it really does look like a army on the march.

Have you read this book?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Battle-That-Shook-Europe/dp/1860648479/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1360606739&sr=8-1
 It might even be the one you referred to.

Thanks for all the comments about my figures.
It is nice to see you painting some Swedish guys, Roger.
I have painted some of them myself.
I have read a book about the Swedish army on march in Russia in 1709.
It was not only soldiers, but also many civilians and animals in the field campaign.
Last time in Kulmbach I bought as many civilians and animals as I could find suitable for this project.

Yes, Brian showed me his set and they are very very nice. An excellent subject idea and well executed. Look even better painted.

Nicely done Bernt.

Wow! That's a bit of a coincidence I've just been admiring mine, unpainted at the moment I'm afraid but this might help me along a bit. You've done a great job of Vlad's figures Bernt.

PS The other coincidence is I'm painting some Swedes at the moment.  ;D
