Russians Strike Back and End of Turn Activities

Russian Phase of 3rd Impulse


During their portion of the 3rd impulse of the spring turn the main St. Peterburg garrison successfully marched back to the fortress after having marched towards Narva earlier in the spring. The Swedish force from Viborg had struggled to march throught the northern forest and only arrived before St. Petersburg during the 3rd impulse. The during the 2nd impulse the Swedish fleet moved 3 regiments from Abo to the coast northwest of St. Petersburg. During the 3rd impulse this Swedish force failed to march as ordered to join the main Swedish force located north of St. Peterburg.

The Russian force, reunited in St. Peterburg, successfully outscouted the Swedish main force and gathered intelligence on their composition and strength. During the Russian combat phase a portion of the garrison attacked the isolated Swedish force, which was supported by the fleet, inflicting 50% casualties on the Swedes and driving them towards the main Swedish force. The Russians retired back into St. Petersburg. The battle was decided using the On to Moscow combat table.

End of Turn Phase


During the logistics phase all Russian and Swedish units were determined to be in supply, with the exception of the Minsk garrison, which rolled on the logistics table and passed. Both sides also successfully recruited new units.

We now move onto the summer phase.
