I think that is the danger for the Swedes: getting flanked. They are hard as nails to the front, but--being expensive--will be narrow. Can they blast through their frontal opponents, or will they get picked apart and defeated in detail? This is all said before I have played any games, though, so take it for what it's worth.

I have beaten a Swedish army(sorry Tim) with my 30 years War Protestant 1635 army at Britcon.

I did'nt let the infantry get to grips slow them up shoot them with artillery and Swamp the Cavalry of their flank with the German Kuirasiers.

Well its a cunning plan if it works is dependent on if you pay your army?

A carefully placed unit of cavalry with your infantry, after examining the intercept charge rules and Impact PoAs, can seriously ruin the Swedes day as well ...
