Description

By Fire and Sword - Turkish Garrison of Raskow in 1674
Summary: Set of unpainted miniatures for By Fire and Sword.
By Fire and Sword is a 15mm scale historical wargame developed by Wargamer. This realistic, playable and dynamic wargame recreates the 17th century wars in Europe, focusing on the periods between 1640 and 1676; a time of almost constant warfare waged by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth on all fronts, in many cases with several enemies at the same time.
In the autumn of 1674, combined Polish-Lithuanian forces under the command of Jan III Sobieski himself, mounted an offensive against right-bank of the Ukraine. Numerous towns and fortresses  were captured. In early December a strong Polish force reached Raszków which was held by the Turks. The Turkish defense was under the commandof Jusuf Pasha who was known to the Poles from the battle of Ładyżyn in 1672. He had 1500 soldiers mainly janissaries and sipahi. The Turks fought  stubbornly and Jusuf Pasha with part of his garrison barricaded themselves in a fortified monastery. Then using the confusion of the battle the Turks mounted a surprising counterattack of several hundred horsemen and broke through the Polish besiegers. The withdrawing Turks slipped away from the Polish pursuit and arrived safely at Tehini taking numerous jasyr along the way. This set  allows you to field full-strength skirmish set published in “Armies of By Fire and Sword. Volume I”
