Gustavus Adolphus the Great

[Owen Glyndwr]

John Carl Chodkiewicz was undefeated. For me Gustavus was great .... infantry general. People on west are talking about his great cavarly but it was infantry that made him famous. We have to remember that since his changes into swedish army (whole unit shot same time) swedish tactic was being used up to mid of XIX century.

That's what I remember him for. Gustavus was significant because he ended the centuries long dominance of the Spanish invented turcio formation, replacing it with a more mobile and flexible infantry force.

That is if I recall correctly.
