@Roger, so you hopefully enjoy, what I compiled some years ago:
a batallion of Swedish Dalgerementet at Poltava.

The thing with the Swedish Musketeers was, that the Swedes had a certain tactics - the Go Pa-attack.
And there was (is?) no figure for that. Means, I cut off all the bayonets from other figures and glued them to the ones in this scene....

Someday, when I will be big and strong, I'll work out the other side - a Russian batallion in a field fleche.....

Oh yes I do like those!
There is an awful lot of work gone into the Dalgerementet and they look great. Thanks for posting the pics, I have saved them for inspiration.... you never know I might have some Russians coming too.  ;)

Nice figures Joerg. Dalregementet is my favorite regiment.
