Battle of Reinbek - 6mm Great Northern War Wargame - Twilight of the Sun King

A new video, after quite a long break once more! Continuing on with the Holstein Campaign, this What if battle of Reinbek is an escalation of the Skirmish that took place historically. Interestingly, the Reinbek Skirmish is one of the few elements of the Holstein campaign that actually has a Wikipedia article, unlike some of the later skirmishes between Danish and Holsteinian forces near Husum and in Dithmarschen.

Frankly the Danish position here is not tenable, especially if the Swedish reinforcements arrive early on during the battle. If Carl Rudolf had had more infantry, holding the stream and villages would be more appealing, but with a primarily cavalry force the Danes are a definite underdog here.

The map used in the beginning of the video is my own. It's something I've made for a campaign system for the Holstein campaign, which I intend to cover in a later video. When such a video will come out remains to be seen, as one can gather from my rate of uploads it could be anywhere from six months to three years.

The wargaming scenario was created by me, the ruleset used is Twilight of the Sun King at regimental scale (1 base ~ 500 infantry, 250 cavalry)
