Stockholm August 25th 1741
Stockholm Burns
Pomerania Saved
The armies of Sweden clashed today on the plains north of Stockholm. Although outnumbering the invading Russians by 25 percent and holding strong defensive positions behind field wall and the ramparts of Stockholm itself, the Swedes through away their advantage in a series of impetuous cavalry charges which denied with the possibility of exposing the Russian cavalry to flanking fire. What was left of the Swedish army retreated westwards towards the safety of Norway
To the south, a smaller Swedish army stood off an English incursion into Pomerania although the English were able to retire to Mecklenberg with no significant losses.
The Empress of Russia deploys her forces
Frederick of Sweden deploys his
Before contemplating his moves
While the Czarina loses all dignity in encouraging her infantry forward
