📖 About This Game
This is the first Self-Published version of the game using Ben Hull's "Musket and Pike Battle System". It was the DTP precursor to Sweden Fights On. It contains the Nordlingen Battle only.
---
Though the Swedes struggled with command after the death of King Gustav II Adolf, they continued to exploit the momentum he had generated. A strong Swedish force pushed into Bavaria under the joint command of Duke Bernhard and Field Marshal Horn. The Habsburgs effected a union of forces with their Spanish cousins at Nördlingen, besieging the Protestant stronghold. The Swedes were drawn into a trap.
