Not many of them on Napoleon Era wargames and dioramas Probably becasue they didn't actually do much fighting in that period. |

Ehhrr, 1814 Norway vs Sweden…but, true, the war only lasted a very short time thanks to our "brave" new king, Christian Fredrik..sad chapter in Norwegian military history. |

Norway wasn't part of Dennmark territory on those years?
There were a hard fight for Norway in 1814 from Denmark (with Norway troops under their flag) against the Swedes and Prussians.
As at the end Dennmark won some good victories but lost the war (the french left them alone), Norway was for Sweden, but the Norwegians then fought for their liberty.
So, there were fighting from this troops at Napoleon Era.
If collectors like to paint/wargame/collect units from Hesse-Cassel, Hanover, Oldenburg, Bremen, Baden, Lippe, Reus, Wurzburg, Meklenburg-Schwerin, Nassau and much more that actually didn't fight more than the Swedish, Danish or Norwegian, why no them?
And if the matter is only the Armies which fought more on Napoleonic Era, how about the Ottomans?.
Not many paint Armies of them, but they fought a lot of big battles against the Russians.
Yust my thoughts. Amicalement

Good points well made Armand. However to most people the Scandinavian armies didn't do much fighting as most of it was well away from the main theatres of war (Leipzig excepted). If it does not involve British or French armies than it largely invisible to your average war gamer. |

I did say:
"didn't actually do much fighting" Certainly didn't say they didn't do any! |

Imho the Scandinavian Armies fought much as the Portuguese, Spanish or even more that many of the German states as Bavaria. Amicalement
