For a book, albeit not a cheap one, check out "The Great Northern War Compendium," which is fantastic.

For 28mm figures, try Warfare, Ebor, and Musketeer. Warfare's are IMHO the best and is the largest range. Ebor's are good, too, and are cheaper than Warfare. I don't have any Musketeer but they look pretty good, from what I've seen. All have charging Swedes.

Charging swedes both horse and infantry from Warfare.

Agree the GNW Compendium is a must have.
Try tacitus.nu for free online painting source.
Ebor also makes danes and Russians, and Warfare makes Swedes, russians and figures appropriate for Saxons cav/infantry, and Danish cav.

I agree with Truls, charging swedes available from Warfare, Ebor and even Foundry. Footsore (old musketeer) unavailable at moment I understand. Lots of choice out there. I personally use all of these makes freely, sometimes in the same unit.

Footsore GNW figures unavailable at the moment? No surprise given the long, drawn out history of completing the range.

Yeah nothing on the website so I emailed they said another supplier would be taking over I think.. Personally I felt it was slightly too small as a range and they never released all the extra stuff that Bill had sculpted, looks to have gone the same way as the Sikh Wars range Bill was starting.
