The first By Fire and Sword tournament in Sweden!

The first By Fire and Sword tournament in Sweden!

There is more and more By Fire and Sword tournaments. Not only in Poland (it’s quite obvious of course) and in UK but now also in Sweden.

Last Saturday wargaming club in Lund held the first Swedish By Fire & Sword tournament, with a total of 10 players. One attendant - Patryk - travelled even from distant (500 km away) Stockholm. Main organizers are well-know members of BFaS forum: Alex “Anatoli” Kawczynski and Alexander ”Deathbullar” Nedmark. Thanks to the courtesy of Alex we can present you some pictures and shot report from this amazing event.

As you can see on the pictures miniatures and terrain were prepared a top-notch level. It had to be a real pleasure to play against well painted armies on such a great tables.

What could be interesting for you there were as many as 4/10 (yes, four) Muscovy generals (3 of them played Zasieczna Guard) and only one Swedish general.

Here are results of tournament.

1. Robin, Ottomans                               15BP/21SP 1st place
2. Andreas, Gosiewski’s Foray              13BP/25SP tournament organizer
3. Jonatan, Muscovy                             10BP/15SP 2nd place
4. Alexander, Danzig                             9BP/13SP tournament organizer
5. Magnus, Sweden                               9BP/12SP 3rd place
6. David, Muscovy                                 9BP/11SP 4th place
7. Johan, Muscovy                                8BP/15SP
8. Simon, Cossacks                                6BP/5SP
9. Patryk, Lithuania                               6BP/4SP
10. Patrik, Muscovy                               5BP/5SP

It’s worth mentioning that Alex and Andeas – as organizers, judges and the most experienced players - have decided to remove themselves from the list of players and assigned prized for the top 4 players. That’s real fair play spririt! You are amazing guys and deserve our greatest respect.

Today we present you the last from historical commanders unlocked during our Kickstarter campaign.

Prince Bogusław Radziwiłł (1620-1669) – one of the best known personalities connected to the Deluge, a Lithuanian noble and prince of the Holy Roman Empire. He gained his first military experiences while fighting in the Dutch army against Spain in early 1640’s. He took part in fights against the Cossacks and commanded the foreign pattern units at the battle of Beresteczko in 1651. Awarded by king John II Casimir with the rank of the general of the royal guard, in 1655 he supportedLithuanian forces besieging Mogilev. During the Deluge he tried to create an independent state at Podlasie by accepting Swedish control. He led his own forces and Swedish reinforcements, among others, in Tykocin area. In 1656 he was capturedby Tartars at the battle of Prostki, however he was rescued during the battle at Filipów. Since 1657 he served elector Frederick William Hohenzollern as the general governor of Ducal Prussia. He led the Brandenburg-Prussian forces against the Swedes since 1658.

Dear backers!

The Kickstarter campaign is now over and we are no longer able to change Your pledge levels. However, as we are swamped by e-mails from those of You who are asking for the possibility to order additional products, we decided to help You out.

We've prepared a special functionality on our website, which will allow You to order additional sets in Kickstarter prices. Those will be separate orders; however, it will be possible to combine them with the Kickstarter rewards we will be sending to You to save on the shipping.

Here is step-by-step guideline on how to use the functionality of our webstore:

- Open our website in your browser: http://sklep.wargamer.pl

- Click on the British flag in the top of the page, left of the search tool
- Choose GBP as the preferred currency (left of the flags)
- Click on the "By Fire And Sword Kickstarter backers only!" category in our catalogue on the left side of the website
- Add whatever products You wish to the shopping basket and check-out, choosing the appropriate shipping opion (explained below) and Paypal as the form of payment. VERY IMPORTANT: Please add Your Kickstarter nick in the additional information field.

Also please note: Some items were available through Kickstarter at prices depending on Your pledge level. These products have an additional 'Option' field added in our webshop, which will allow You to apply any special discount You may have gained according to Your pledge group (Soldier, Officer or High Commander tiers).

One additional note: some old sets have information about metal bases. Few words of explanation: We have replaced metal bases with plastic ones last year, so most of sets should contain plastic bases. However if your box has been packed in early 2013 it contains metal bases. We will update descriptions of sets soon.

We would like to remind You that there is a possibility to split the shipping into multiple packs. We can ship whatever we have ready as the time you place your order and later, after other items are released - the next part. In this case we will ask You to pay for additional shipping. The fee will be a flat rate in Poland (3 pounds sterling) and EU (10 pounds sterling) per package. For the rest of the world please choose "Additional Kickstarter shipment" and wait for our staff o calculate the exact shipping and contact you with the possible options for you to choose - this may take up to 1 working day depending on your time zone. We are sorry for this inconvenience, but this is because we wan't you to receive your additional package at as cheap shipping costs as possible - whether you would like to order a single blister, or a whole division (or two :))!

If You decide to hold on and get everything in one parcel there is no additional shipping charge, as it has been already paid for during the KS campaign. In this case simply choose the "Please combine with my Kickstarter shipment" option during check-out.

Kickstarter is over but for us it’s only beginning of extremely hard work. We have to write, sculpt, cast, paint and in the meantime answer for dozens of questions of out backers.

We definitely need more manpower to deliver everything on time, so we have decided invite Michal ”Glorfindel” Molenda to "By Fire and Sword" Team. Michal will be responsible for updating our website and our fanpage on facebook. It will allow Michal “Kadrinazi” Paradowski focus mainly on writing additional materials for our game. “Armies of By Fire and Sword” are waiting for him...

Glorfindel will also take care of tournaments i.e updating your rank on forum and giving you Ducats you can exchange for limited models from Ducats Catalogue (we will publish more information about it within few days).

You may also ask him (via pm on our forum) any question connected with Kickstarter. As our mailbox on Kickstarter is almost always full it may be good way to get your answer quick.

Michal, welcome aboard.
