    Description

    Game covers battle of W?grów, one of the most important skirmishes of January Uprising in the Russian Partition of Poland. It uses "Napoleon" system.

    Battle took place February 3, 1863 near W?grów in east Masovia. On January 22, Polish partisans, under the command of the W?adys?aw Jab?onowski and Jan Matli?ski liberated a town from Russian forces. Here Poles established a military base, in a few days gathering almost 3,500 soldiers, mostly poorly armed, with about 500 scythe armed volunters, known as "Kosynierzy" (Scythemen).

    Russians decided to recapture W?grów with quick attack of the combined force forces of a 1,000-strong infantry unit with artillery, led by colonel Georgi Papaafanasopulo. Poles, threatened by encirclement, decided to retreat from the town. About 500 scythemen were ordered cover the Polish retreat. Scythemen attacked the Russian left flank and routed Russian cavalry squadron and cannons. Thanks to their action, biggest part of the Polish forces managed to left the town, but almost all attacking scythemen were killed by Russian infantry fire.

    Game covers whole battle in three scenarios.
