The game "The Last Vikings" recreates events of two battles - at Kliszów in 1702 and at Fraustadt in 1706. In both cases the Swedish army was a winner. Of course on board a result could be different.
Basic rules are similar to published in 2016 game Bloody Fields of Mollwitz. The distinctive features of this system are the activation of army parts and resolution of fire and melee based on the morale of the involved units.
Thinking about unique events during this battles, Designer added rules about Polish hussars and infantry using cheval de fries.
A tremendous education value is very interesting and detailed historical introduction.
Using game elements, players can check if events could go in other way. What would happen, if Polish army fully engaged in the Battle at Kliszów? What would happen, if Russians received at Fraustadt more support from Saxon cavalry?
