Battle of Lesnaya - Main
The Great Northern War was a conflict fought in the baltic region, primarily between the Swedish Empire, The Dano-Norwegian realm, Poland-Lithuania, and the Russia Empire from 1700-1721.
The Battle of Lesnaya was one of fiercest and larger battles of the Great Northern War. It was between a force of Russians numbering 26,500-29,000, and a Swedish detachment of around 12,500. The Swedish force was carrying relief supplies, which was carried by 4,500 wagons, for the main Swedish force deep in the heart of Russia. The two opposing forces finally came to a standstill and clashed at the outskirts of the village of Lesnaya.
After 8 hours of heavy fighting, neither side achieved an obvious victory. However, the Russians had crippled and slowed the Swedish reinforcements. As a result, this action is seen as the turning point of the war. With Charles the XII’s army rearing from defeat and not recieving desperately needed supplies, it was only a matter of time.
So this is the build I have been overhyping for god knows how long. I got inspired to build the trenching using Travis’ technique, really liking how it turned out.
