  Swedes, who were not known for the strength of their cavalry, managed to beat the Poles and Saxons while being outnumbered 5 to 1. Impressive, most impressive.

  After the battle, the Saxon commander wrote a touching letter to Eugene of Savoy, in which he said:<br><br>&quot;It does not look naturally possible, that an army posted as this [the allies] was, can be put into any unheard of disorder in just a quarter of an hour ... the order and bravery of their troops [the Swedes] in advancing to attack us, notwithstanding the terrible fire we made upon them, cannot be enough praised and advanced; and if it be a good fortune to command troops like these, who are always sure of victory, what must be the chagrin and misfortune of those who have to deal with them?&quot;

  And just like Hannibal, Charles &quot;knew how to win a battle but not how to use one&quot;.

  Saxons: &quot;We vastly outnumber them and still they&apos;re planning to attack us head on? Without firing a single shot no less?&quot;<br><br>Swedes: &quot;Cowabunga it is.&quot;

  It’s eerie how much Charles’s career reflects Napoleon. Outnumbered and outgunned by huge coalitions, yet consistently winning battles until he decides to invade Russian territory.

  There is one small nitpick I have. It should be nice to see Łódź, my city on your beautiful map, but in this period it&apos;s a bit of an inaccuracy. Prior to the Industrial Revolution, Łódź was just a very small rural town. Other towns in the region, like Łęczyca, Sieradz or Piotrków Trybunalski, were bigger and more important.
