I've always fancied this army, mainly because of the cuirassiers in buffcoats, brass eagles riveted to the chest of their cuirasses and huge white helmet combs. Googling around I found this very informative site:
link It has an especially nice page of modern, Knoetel-style uniform plates:
link The Swedes fought and fired in two-deep lines. Who knew? Now the question is – who makes these in 28mm? 1813 I have heard of, but what about these?? and the other question is – what was the strength of a Swedish battalion? Probably it's there somewhere. |

Your luck could be in as regards to figures. |

what was the strength of a Swedish battalion? Per "Between the Imperial Eagles", 600 rank and file. |

If you mean the uniforms with the unique top hats, Eagle Figures has a number of earlier Swedes both infantry and cavalry. |

Does anyone have any suggestions for rules suitable for this war ? The forces are all fairly small, even Oravais had only 5500 vs 6000. |

Does anyone have any suggestions for rules suitable for this war ? The forces are all fairly small, even Oravais had only 5500 vs 6000. You could try WRG 1685-1845 and halve the figure scale to infantry 1:25 and cavalry 1:20. Allan |

Any 1:20 rules like General de Brigade will do.
You could also use Black powder |
