Date: November 15, 1715 - Size: Medium - Location: Stresow, Rügen, Swedish Pomerania (Germany)
Scenario Briefing: The Battle of Stresow (What-if)
During the Great Northern War Sweden tried its utmost to keep its possessions in Northern Germany. In 1715 the three fortified harbors of Stralsund, Wismar and Stettin were still in Swedish hands. Possession of Rügen was vital for Stralsund, the most important of the fortresses, which could only receive supplies from there. The Swedes, therefore, had a garrison of about 4,500 men on the island, and the troops were led by King Charles XII in person.
During the latter half of 1715 the Danes and their allies, the Prussians and Saxons, decided to seize possession of the island of Rügen as a prelude to an assault on Stralsund. They set aside a large force for the undertaking. The Prussian General, Field Marshall Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau, commanded the corps with two Danish generals, Dewitz and Wilcken, as commanders of the cavalry and infantry respectively.
This variant of the battle looks at the situation where King Charles XII had moved his entire force to Stresow to stop the allied invasion as they embarked from their boats. Full strength for both armies.
