ОтветитьУдалитьSorry for offtop... Do you have any information about the actions of the Krassau's corp and Stanislaw Leszczynski's troops in Poland and Lithuania during the 1709 campaign, please?

ОтветитьУдалитьYes, I have some info about 1709 campaign in Poland & Lithuania. It's a part from Wimmer's book about Poland in GNW & materials about Russian operations in Poland. Plus info about Swedish troops (composition, strength, etc.) What are you the most interested in?
In General, I am interested by the total number of troops of Leszczynski-Krassau in Poland and Sapiega in Lithuania and from the opposite side by the troops of Goltz and Sandomierz Confederation and their places of deployment in 1709.
