Battle of Jankau 5th March 1645

Both sides had around 16,000 men. No quarter was given to either side, which would result in a complete victory for the Swedes. The Swedes had superior and more mobile artillery, thus giving them the ability to react quickly to changes on the battlefield. Only 7,000 of the combined Austrian Bavarian imperial army escaped the slaughter.[4] The majority of the army was either killed or captured when the Imperial center was surrounded, including the Imperial armies commander-in-chief Hatzfeld. Between 4,000 and 5,000 prisoners were taken.

  Wonderful, so much miniature goodness.

Just one small nitpick from a Finnish pov:

Stalarm (Bjorneberg)

should be: Stålarm (Björneborg)
