A Swedish blogger named Michael and his friends have interesting blogs dealing (among loads of other things) with the Scanian War. (The most common Swedish name for this war.) Search for the blog Dalauppror and select the Scanian War category. It is at least a start you should find the other's from there...<br /><br />For figures: Plastic Malburians from Wargames Factory. (Temporarirly? out of production as Warlord Games bought WF a while back, but it is said they will re-release most of their sets eventualy.) Metal Warfare Miniatures is a good choice as well.<br /><br />Swedish infantry from the Scanian War wear to an large extent a kapurs (a Russian-fur-hat-looking hat) instead of the ordinary slouch-hat. You can find some artillery and cavalry wearing Kapurs as well... <br /><br />For Dalregementet. I'm 90% certain: <br /><br />Uniform: Blue with Red cuffs. NCO's Gray with Red cuffs. Drummers probably Red with Blue cuffs Don't remember if the regiment wear kapurs or hat. Officer will wear a hat tough. <br />Banner: Blue with a black granade with three flames in each corner and a laurel-wreath/laurel-circle in the centre. In the middle of the laurels a pair of crossed golden crossbow-bolts with silver arrow-heads.The Border Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859882687798916096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-20156436990665557892016-07-16T13:25:53.566+10:002016-07-16T13:25:53.566+10:00Still working on that.
