1. I can't tell how many times I wrote the right thing but it wasn't exactly what the author wrote

2. you can't say Hungary and Croatia allied with the catholics because THEY WERE HABSBURG SUBJECTS

3. The first question was regarding Bohemia NOT the entire HRE. I was confused why "peace of Augsburg" wasn't working as it was the only logical solution

4. There. Was. No. GERMANY!

5. "Cavalry charge" is not a special tactic and not about Gustavus Adolphus. He used superior firepower (both artillery and musketeers)
