The Swedish brigades stand firm and await the charge of the Polish Hussars.

Under heavy fire from the Swedish Brigades the Polish Hussars charges...and manages to fight several round of close combat with the steay Swedes...

On the Swedish right flank the pancerni advance in to fire range and start shoting up the Swedish cavalry...Gaustavus Adolphus order a steady advance to extremly close range....no the units are not in base contact...but almost...

The the Swedish charge is ordered and the Polish Pancerni trys to evade...but one of the unit are caught and cut down...

After a couple of houres we had to call it a day, The Swedes would eventually had hold the field...better luck next time for the Polish army...

FoGR worked out quite fine, but we have to try them out more to get a good grip ot them.
