I will bring Deluge (the rule book - not the 2 volume Henryk Sienkiewicz novel: 1990's American modern translation -- I have the full set but not lending) There is a Polish film - From em-ail this may interest you Movie Box SetI'm tempted You know that you just can't get enough of Winged Hussars and a boy's night in of battles / movies / Polish booze and popcorn has a certain ring to it. I think the box set has the shortened version (original run time 315 minutes : that is a lot of battles) I found a copy on e-bay with a run time of 277 mins - left me feeling short changed There are lots of clips on youtube to enjoy

I have spent the week learning the Pike and shotte rules. They are far more comprehensive than black powder that I bought off the bring and buy at bovvy. Would want to give them a go at some stage. Allows for huge army on the table but not take a week to play. Will give some rules later, but for now I am off to the dog show.

For the Cossacks
I have gone though what I got and compared it to the army lists on page 266 - 268 of the core rule book as well as the Cossack and Tartar skirmish force in the expansion army list book.
With my latest order to Wayland games I can pretty well do either of these. With all options except more Cossack rabble.
Better got some paints sorted [lighter shades and greys] and crack on with painting and basing.
Oh I have replaced the heavy metal bases with some BFaS plastic ones and brought some guns because I wanted them

We don't have to wait to try out the game. Why not put a date in and use my stuff meanwhile I still have a lot more to paint I think at the last count another twenty bases. Chas let us know when you are putting in another order, I would like to order some carts and donkeys and winged hussars.

Next order will not be for a while. Already got plenty to base and paint. Got T&P to give me a free sandwich box of sharp sand as the stuff from Baccus is too fine for 15mm and Bournemouth beach sand is finer than that.
Wayland don't seem to carry much in stock and you have to wait a good month if any item has to be ordered in from Poland.
P & P is free if the order exceeds £60 so combining makes sense if everyone only wants a few bits and bobs - but I spilt my orders. One for in-stock which arrived in 48 hours and the other which should get here by mid October when I have got a post operation medical week off.
Chaz still spelt with a Z - if it helps think of it as a Polish spelling. But I currently field Cossacks (Zaporozhian Cossacks), well some of them are 'registered' and did also fight with the Poles.

Wayland are doing an extra 5% off (I got the magic code)
"to order by August 1st 2017 23:59:59 BST to take advantage of this extra saving".
If your interest in some bits and we can get the order over £60 in total (after taking off the 5%) then I will do it as there is a small skirmish force I'm interested in.
Happy to order the freebies Battlegroup rule book from PSC for someone else as I've already got one coming.
