[QUOTE]King Charles XII fought Denmark, Russia and Poland-Saxony. Those were his main enemies. Hannover and Prussia later declared war on Sweden.[/QUOTE]

I am definately interrested, is there perhaps a Swedish biographer/biography that is published in English about King Charles XII? By the way regarding the statement about Napeleon should have learned, did he even know about those campaigns? Perhaps I am revealing my own ignorance, but I was not aware that French military acadamies were taking any curiculum from Northern and Eastern Europe ( of course barring England and Germany).

[QUOTE=K62]What was that thing again with 50 Swedes against thousands of Turks :eek: 18th century Ishandlwana, eh? :D[/QUOTE]

Quite! :) Only this time, they got away.... ;)

Also, IIRC, I don't think the Turks were out to slay them, just give them a friendly nudge in the right direction - which would be out of Turkey with lightning speed.
