"In 1682 king Charles XI started to reorganize the Swedish army which proved to be rather weak in the Scanian War (1674-1679). Each province was bound by contract to raise and supply a regiment of 1,200 men, called Caroleans.
During years of training the infantry tactics grew more efficient than anywhere else in Europe. The soldiers had to march on until they were close enough to see the white in their enemies' eyes. Then the front row kneeled and the first two ranks fired their muskets at the same time.
The iron-hard discipline and courage which was needed for such offensive battle tactics was made possible by the strong belief in God every Carolean had. So the Swedish army often managed to defeat a numerically much larger host."
