Szczekociny 1794

This hex-and-counter wargame recreates a battle from the Kościuszko Uprising, in which Polish forces faced allied Russian and Prussian armies. Players command infantry, cavalry, and artillery, including grenadiers, Cossack cavalry, and Polish scythe-wielding irregulars. A chit-pull system activates different parts of each army, determining when units move, fire, and fight in close combat. The game includes an introductory scenario covering the fight for Wywła and a scenario for the main battle. Victory points come from eliminating enemy units, capturing artillery, and defeating leaders. It is a complete standalone game.
