I have been ploughing on with the Danish Cavalry during some evenings when I have been staying away from home. I have had some good going and will present them here for the record as I get them based.  As noted in Part 1 (link here) these have been based on small 30 by 30 mm bases representing a squadron.

The miniatures are from the Baccus 6mm Sun King range (link here) and an absolute joy to work with.

So in no particular order.

4. Jyske Nationale Rytteregiment – 3 squadrons (Gen. Carl von Arensdorff)

Carl von Arensdorff was the Danish Army Commander at the Battle, he had served as a Swedish General in the Second Northern War 1655-60. He was wounded at Lund, and his brother Friedrich took over command, and Carl died shortly afterwards. I will write more about the Battle of Lund in future installations.

  1. Brilliant stuff, as always! Claes Wahlöö’s Slaget vid Lund, was the first non-fiction book I read in Swedish when I was learning the language, and it’s left a link with that battle. So I’ll be following this with more than usual interest…
