Polish Royal Guard regiment complete (BF&S)

Finished the regiment, with some time to spare, for this Sunday's game of By Fire & Sword. Patrik and David are both busy painting additional regiments for their own armies, so there will no doubt be a big battle awaiting.

The Pikes and musketeers as well as the command are from the "By Fire & Sword" German mercenary old type box set. The regimental cannon and its crew are from Khurasan Miniatures. I traded my original regimental gun with David since he needed  a much more uniform look for his artillery battery and I myself don't mind how the single artillery piece in my regiment looks like. I did however shorten the barrel since this was a medium cannon and the regimental guns are smaller light guns.

Like with the rest of my regiments, this is a "minimum size" force, and can be expanded with additional companies of Pikes and Muskets as well as additional junior officers and regimental guns. This makes the limit of 5 regiments in your division not being as restrictive as one might think. And with a 4th regiment, in my army I can also field another "divisional support" unit  like Reiters and Armoured Reiter companies.
