Great to find some scenario play for the Russo-Swedish War (RSW) 1809. Thanks for the post. Michael aka Wargamerabbit
WR: link P.S. Have you seen these sites on 1809? Sword and Sabre: swordandsabre.com/index.htm and… The Final War: link The two 1809 campaign books mentioned have company level OOB for many of the battles. Maps, scenario comments, historical notes, the commanders and organization of for both sides. |

Grigork, good stuff that you guys are interested in the obscure stuff that happened in our country.
A nit picking detail:
Swedish batallions didn't carry two flags (like the Brits, for example, did).
Each carried one flag, but the "Kings Color" was carried by the first batallion of each regiment. |

Love the moose/elks BTW! :D

My interest has been piqued. Who makes suitable figures for the Swedes in 28mm? Can 1812 Russians be used for the 1808-1809 Russians? |

Dave, Depends on how 'historical' you want for the Russians. You need Russians in the shako, not the kiwer [scooped] shako. The Russian shako in 1808 looked a bit like the French shako. It's a great period to game, can't remember of any Swedes in 28mm – maybe Eagle Miniatures? Love the moose/elks as well, Grigork! What manufacturer makes them? I've got to have some for my 1788 Russo-Swedish games in Finland!!! :) |

Unfortunately I don't know the make of the elks. The owner of the army had them gifted to him. |

The owner of the Elks has now told me they are made by Magister Militum |

The Gemigebok site (posted by Lonkka) is an amazing resource and wargames project. I remember devouring the many battle reports and scenarios when I first started reading wargames blogs. |
