Scenario Briefing: The Battle of Warsaw (Historical)

The Swedish are outnumbered, but if they can move fast and attack and rout the enemy, they have a good chance of winning the battle

By mid July 1705 the desperate allied army under Paykull was approaching Warsaw looking for a chance to strike when - suddenly - the chance presented itself. The main Swedish army had been drawn away from the area and only a small force under the Swedish General Nieroth remained. Nieroth with about 2,000 Swedes was facing more than 9,000 enemy cavalry, a great opportunity for the Saxons and their allies. Yet despite their numbers all was not well within the Saxon led army. The Polish and Lithuanian allies of the Saxons were deeply divided and did not trust each other or the other parts of the army. The Swedes would be a challenge with such a divided force.
