🚩 On 27 September 1605, King Charles IX of Sweden penned the following note in his diary: “Was fought the Battle of Kircholm. There many a brave hero fell due to his craven heart. I was hacked in the head but praise the Lord not hurt. I lost the battle.”
With these few words the king summed up what was perhaps the worst defeat in Swedish history. It was even more costly than the far-better-known Battle of Poltava, a little over a century later. And the battle was lost even though the Swedish army was three times as strong as the victorious Polish-Lithuanian army. Enemy casualties were minimal. It was a humiliating defeat.

Imagine if Sigismund suceed and there would be Polish-Lithuanian-Swedish alliance. Moscow would shit themself.
Im wondering, do you guys draw the artwork of the soldiers in your thumbnails or do you get them elsewhere? Like Osprey books for example?
”Settling accounts” with your political enemy ment something very different in the 16th century. 😂
