PHA! Of course you mean besides slaughtering Habsburgs, defeating the number 1 military juggernaut in Europe, the Burgundians, getting independent from the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, defeating the Swabians, invading Italy, mass slaughtering French, having a reputation of being unbeatable for 200 years, convincing the pope not to let himself being protected by anyone else than Swiss mercenaries, making kings of that age consider it impossible to win a battle without Swiss mercenaries, and when finally being closely defeated by a force superior in numbers and canons, still performing the first ordered retreat since antiquity...
