Basing Dane's

Post by ciaphas » Tue Jun 18, 2013 11:11 am

Hi, would Dane's be based like swedes or more like Western forces. Ie. would they have pike in the center stand and have the Swede rules or are they more like German states. Also would you recommend them as platoon or rank firers?

thanks

Assuming that you are talking about the GNW, the Danes did not have pikes, having abandoned them prior to the NYW. I believe they used platoon fire when in English and Dutch service. Not sure about those battalions the were in Denmark or returned from Imperial service.
