Enterance...yes, you had to pay to get in...
Swedish banners...first a small St. Olof banner, then a 3-crowns banner, the Swdish royal banner.

Cooking...got to eat god if you are fighting the Danes...
I guess you have to wait a year or two before signing up for the army...

Weapon check before the battle...
Instructing the troop how to fight and die...some pictures from the Battle at Mästerby comming soon...

Thanks !
ReplyDeleteActually a 3.4km long City Wall with about 27 towers:) read more about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_wall_of_Visby
...15mm minis for the Battle of Visby 1361... Sorry to say but I´m most in to 28mm at the moment...BUT For the danes any early HYW minis mixed with some 13th centery medieval minis would work, And for the Gotlanders you I would use a greate mix of peseants, viking bondis, some crusaders and 13th centery men at arms and mix it up with some eastern/russian/polish minis...
I hope this helps a little...
Best regards dalauppror
Looks great. Would love to be there.
