Djävulens krig
On snow-covered fields in the small village of Napue in Ostrobothnia, a terribly one-sided battle is being fought in the bitter February cold. The Swedish army numbers 4,500 men. The Russian force consists of over 10,000 soldiers. The odds are impossible to overcome, and the Swedish defeat is total. The year is 1714, and the entire eastern half of the kingdom is now under Russian control. The era of the Great Northern War has begun.
