Not sure about the realism, I dont see the details, but I feel it is a very nice summary of the atmosphere of battles of the era.

Also, the musket firing sounds are the best and most distinct I've heard

LOL at those so-called Swedes talking ''Swedish''

Here are the reactions!

I thought so, I didnt think it was very realistic, what with the "two heroes" wiping out the first swedish advance.

Also, I doubt very much that the Swedish general had a manicure in the middle of a decisive battle

I think his ankle was broken. All in all, I enjoyed this.

aahhh...that would explain it.

Although the "meh" snotty expression leads you to easily belive it could be either, such is the wonder of post-war patriotic steryotyping of enemies

Haha that was so unrealistic. Historical the swedes where heavy outnumbered but here they look like the orcs in the scene from helms deep in lotr
