The Great Northern War (1700–21) was a conflict in which a coalition led by the Tsardom of Russia successfully contested the supremacy of the Swedish Empire in northern Central Europe and Eastern Europe. The initial leaders of the anti-Swedish alliance were Peter I the Great of Russia, Frederick IV of Denmark–Norway and August II the Strong of Saxe-Poland-Lithuania. Frederik IV and August II were forced out of the alliance in 1700 and 1706 respectively, but re-joined it in 1709. George I of Brunswick-Lüneburg (Hanover) joined the coalition in 1714 for Hanover and in 1717 for Britain, and Frederick William I of Brandenburg-Prussia joined it in 1715.

A very nice collection of Front Rank figures, but as I said on the LAF forum you'd best call this topic War of the Spanish Succession battle since none of the figures are GNW proper (they're mostly WSS Austrian Imperial troops with a few Dutch battalions in the distance, it would seem).

Very nice collection. Nicely photographed as well!

Saw GNW and was getting all hot-n-bothered! Bummer no Swedes or Russians...
