Scenario Briefing: The Battle of Holowczyn (or Golovin) (Historical)
During Charles XII's march on Moscow, the Swedish army reached the rain-flooded river Vabitch. On the other side of the river, the road ahead was blocked by a larger, entrenched, Russian force. Careful reconnaissance, identified a swampy area which effectively separated the Russian lines. The Russians had clearly believed this area to be impassable and made no real effort to defend it.
Charles XII identified a route through the swampy area which would allow Swedish forces to bypass the Russian defenses and attack their weaker flank and rear. Charles XII deployed other Swedish units as part of a deception plan to tie the Russians down. Then brought artillery forward very early in the morning which began to bombard the Russians as the Swedes advanced through the swamp.
