Later Swedish

[rbodleyscott]

The blurb contains the following sentence re ga pa tactics:

"Swords replaced clubbed muskets. "

Yet they are rated as Bayonet. Is that correct?

In any case, I suggest deleting that sentence, as it will probably just cause controversy as to why they don't have Swordsmen capability.

Also the Poor BGs after 1680 don't have Bayonet capability - is that intentional?

As mentioned I had thought I'd removed the bayonet from the Swedes, clearly not ...

However, on checking the limited stuff I have on the army I find a reference that says bayonets were introduced from 1696 onwards (until 1706) So that would mean no bayonet before 1696.

I'd leave the Poor ones as no bayonet as 2nd line troops who would be later in the bayonet introduction cycle.

To avoid issues I think removing the "Swords replaced clubbed muskets" bit is sensible and also the "with clubbed muskets" from earlier in the notes describing musketeers charging with the pikemen.
