Date: January 23, 1710 - Size: Small - Location: Fjälkinge in Scania, Sweden
Scenario Briefing: The Battle of Fjälkinge (What-if)
In the beginning of the winter campaign of 1709-1710 in Scania, Sweden, several hard battles and skirmishes took place around the city of Kristianstad, as the capture of this city was one of the objectives of the Danish invasion corps. Scania's largest river, the Helgeå, protected the city. The river ran in a southerly direction through eastern Scania and emptied into the Baltic at Åhus.
Early on the morning of January 23rd Danish cavalry captured an important crossing at Torsebro after a short, but intense fight. Following this skirmish, the Danes continued their march along the eastern bank of the Helgeå towards Kristianstad, which was now cut off. During the advance towards Kristianstad three Swedish deserters appeared and reported that the Swedes had abandoned the city. The Swedish corps, which consisted of three cavalry regiments and three infantry battalions had withdrawn in the direction of Sölversborg. The Danish commander, General Reventlow, ordered General Rodsteen to set after the enemy with his dragoons. Rodsteen's orders were to overtake the Swedes and stop them until the rest of the cavalry could assemble and come to his assistance.
This scenario is based on sources that claim that the battle was fought in the fields west of Fjälkinge, and has slightly higher morale for the Swedish troops than in the historical scenario.
