The deployment....
The Swedish...
The polish move forward
They charge and the Swedish counter charge....
The Swedish first line is engaged...
the centre Swedish regiment gets a drubbing and is finished and they rout..
the same things happens to the regiment on their left and they too rout...
The Swedish regiment on the right flank have seen off both the Polish light cavalry units, it falls back to re-group while supporting unit moves up to flank the Polish...
The Polish having disposed of the Swedish first line are now into the 2nd line...
A supporting Pancerni unit blocks the Swedish flanking movement...
One of the Swedish second line regiments is done for....
The Swedish second line collapses and the Polish pancerni pursue...
---oXo---
Notes:
Play testing some home-baked rules.
- Swedish cavalry could take on the Polish pancerni and easily deal with the Polish light horse.
- The Winged Hussars smashed their way through; a third line of Swedish may have given them problems, but the supporting pancerni would maybe make it difficult.
- I may need to reconsider some aspects of the rules.

The cavalry looks amazing! Great job!
What a spectacle! I look forward to seeing how you tweak the rules and how it changes things.
Always a joy to see lots of cavalry. The standards and pennons add to the spectacle. Adding Polish Hussars and even more Pancerni are on my one-day list.. My single regiment of Swedish Horse are from 1st Corps and so not the heavy metal of your 40mm - that's a lot of weight on your table.
As for the rules, this seems a viable outcome. The extraordinary reach of the hussars lances would give a significant advantage to the Poles especially if the Swedes were largely unarmoured but once the lances shattered in the first collision things would have been much more even given the Swedes reputation. I wonder which side might have had the advantage in quality of horseflesh. Perhaps one of your readers will know.
