As I am concentrating on the regular army I made a map of what the regiments in
Svealand and parts of Östergötland are up to.
The
regiments in Falun, Gävle and Örebro have joined the Red uprising, while those
in Stockholm, Uppsala, Strängnäs, Linköping, Karlsborg and Skövde stay loyal to
the government. The region of Bergslagen, which is controlled by the red faction, is
very important for both sides because of the industrial production.
Bergslagen
is sparsely populated and most part of it is a large single forest, but in the
small communities along the waterways there are a lot of iron mines, ironworks and other factories.
Karlskoga is also the main center for weapon production in Sweden.
Brilliant work Björn.
ReplyDeleteLove that we are focusing on the bergslagen and darlecarlian regions:)
Best regards Michael
Of course I focus on Bergslagen. :-)
ReplyDeleteBut if anyone think that I have missed anything on the map just tell me and I will add it (Michael: Inlandsbanan is added as you requested).
Sandviken should be in on the map. :)
ReplyDeleteAfter all, at this time, half the town area is a steel mill... :) The owner also seems to have been quite the fighting man, during the war he supposedly issued a statement to the effect of "Anyone not signing up for the Home Guard can look for another job", resulting in a massive Home Guard batallion in town consisting of over 800 men, complete with mortars and other heavy weapons. Although, I doubt he and his workers would agree on what side to join... :)
Of course Helst Inte, didn't think about Sandviken.
ReplyDeleteNice story!
