Great Northen War, Swedish Infantry, The Kronoberg Regiment and Artillery 1710

I have some more minatures to report in. The following Great Northen War units were completed roughly two weeks ago, but not posted on this blogg....

First we have the Swedish Kronoberg Regiment from 1710. The units was hurried to the Scanian provinces in order to take part in the final battle of the Scanian Campaign and the battle of Helsingborg. It is an open question if they carried pikés or not in this battle. The uniform coat could have been blue or grey, I have opted for the grey version. This supposed to be a period when Swedish resources were strained.

Then we have the artillery. This is a fairly standard looking gun with it's crew. The Swedish artillery always had grey coats of some sort. There are a few variations when it came to sleeves and cuffs, at 
least in some sources, but the standard look had to do in this case.

Both units are made up from using miniatures from Muskteer miniatures 28mm GNW range, nowadays produced by Footsore Miniatures
