"Dux Suecia" Topic

Inspired by the article in the TooFatLardies Summer Special 2012 about migrating Dux Britanniarum to other periods I have made a go for my favorite wargaming period, "Kalmar Union War" i.e. warfare in Sweden during the 15th century.

Thanks also to Jim and Max for god inspiration for theirs Late Medieval Dux Migations.

You can find a little more about the first stages of the migration and some more pictures of the Activation and Fate cards I made for Dux Suecia here and some pictures of the set up of our first test game "Raid of Penningby 1466" here

Very nice! I just received my copy of Dux Britanniarum, and I'm very impressed both with its depth and flexibility.

Since I'm just pondering my own basing, I'm curious about yours. Are you using three infantry per base, and two (or four?) cavalry?

Cheers,

Christopher

Hi Christopher

Good puchase, Dux Brit are a favourite at the moment;)

Sins all my 15th century minia are bases as groups and not singles as implemented in Dux brit we choose to count each base as a mini, ie. each group of 6 infantry men was represented b4 6 bases and 4 cavalry men was 4 cavalry bases, it turned out realy well.

My basing
Infantry: 40x40mm bases with 3-4 minis
Cavalry: 40x50mm bases with 2 minis
Commanders: 40x50 bases with 1 mounted and 2-3 on foot to carry the commanders banners:)

Best regards Michael

Thanks – that's just what I have been thinking about for my new Late Roman project, and it's nice to see the basing "in action" so to speak.

Posted at my blog some of my changes to the Dux Brittaniarum rules so they will be more suitable for the 15th Century Sweden.

also made me a first draft of a front cover:)

Today I and Jonas will continue our Dux Suecia Campaign (Migrat of TFL Dux Britanniarum to kalmar Union War i.e. Civil War in 15th century Sweden)

In the last game the Union forces tried to Raid Penningby but was repulsed due to stiff Allmoge resistance.

The Union/Archbishop forces havenīt had time to replace all losses so the Rebells under command of the Knight Nils Bosson Sture of the House Natt och Dag have the upperhand. The rebells decide to attack a Union supply column destined to the Archbishop and his troops that defending the Swedish capital Stockholm.

You can find some more pre-game pictures from the terrain I was at the club and set up befor our game tomorrow at the blog
