BATTLE OF HALMSTADT I & II SAJELLANDSKE NATIONALE RYTTEREGIMENT 1676

Danemark: today I was able to set up also the another squadron partecipating to the battle of Halstadt  in 1676. This time is the Second Regiment Sajellandkse. To distinguish it from the first I changed the colour of the saddles, while the standards remained the same, as it was in reality. 

In the first picture I put in evidence the officer with black cuirass.

Total around 130 papersoldiers at 1:1 ratio

BATTLE OF HALMSTADT 1676 - 1 SAJELLANDSKE NATIONALE RYTTEREGIMENT

I come back after a little while on this blog. I decided to try to finish my 1:1 ratio Battle of Halmstadt between Danish and Swedish during the  the Scanian War in 1676.

So I went on in drawing and trimming the Cavalry Regiment of the Danish troops that where missing. Here I represent the (reduced) squadron present at the Battle of Halmstadt of the Danish 1st Sajellandke Rytter Regiment; The unit was quite undernumbered and therefore I represented it with barely 62 men.

The first 2 ranks (row) represent the unit with swords while the 3rd one wears pistols for caracole.

In this picture (below) the unit is marchin in coloumn. I indeed set every base with around 8/10 /12men; then 6 bases and 2 flags (every battalion was composed by 2 companies)

.

Problem was also to understand on how many ranks the unit was set during the Battle. In this case I tried a 2 rows/rank array, even though the painting of the epoch I found seem to represent the cavalry units on 3 ranks

Below: 2 ranks

Below: 3 ranks unit

Last picture: an idea how a 3 ranks unit could turn left at 1:1 ratio.
