Thread: The Great Northern War Map and battle phases

    Default The Great Northern War Map and battle phases

    Hello!
    Sometime ago I had the pleasure to work for The Historical Game Company. They commissioned me some maps for The Great Northern War Compendium.
    I usually work just with traditional media (apart from some text) but this time I had to add digital features in order to show the different battle phases.
    The result was a much more simple map than my usual. I learned a lot from this experience

    Here are some of the various battles phases:

    Here's also the general Northern War map:

    I have also painted a board for the game 'Juarista!' by The Historical Game Company. There's a map in the background so I hope it's ok to share it on this forum:

    Beautiful work once again, Francesca. I think the Juarista board might be my favourite. It's absolutely fantastic.

    Your colouring is simply gorgeous and I can't get enough of your art.

    Thank you! I really hope that I will have the chance to paint battle maps again in the future! It has been an interesting challenge to do them and in the end I have learnt a lot.
