Talk:Battle of Vittsjö

"it was more a case"
Shouldn't it be told the "it was more a case of the Swedes fleeing the Danes than a full-scale battle"? (Or is that unnecessary?) Because the king was just escaping the Danish troops and the Swedish soldiers did all just to protect the king... It is your(s) decision, I just wanted to point this out...

 * Yes, but that statement ought to be referenced.Deb (talk) 15:25, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There is no reference to that statement, it is just as it was. As the artical already shows the king and his soldiers just tryed to escape from the Danish troops, the "it was more a case of the Swedes fleeing the Danes than a full-scale battle" is just to point it out... (But I will not argue more about that little thing...) SuecicaRex (talk) 15:31, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * There must be a source that says this, otherwise how do you know? (I don't think you are old enough to have been present :-) !) Deb (talk) 16:46, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Haha, no I am not that old :3 But however, in the article it says: "In the morning, the Danes attacked and the king and his entourage fled north past Vittsjö sconce towards Dragsån (now Verumsån or Vieån). The bridge over the river was held by Danes so the king was forced to try to cross by riding over the ice." (likely because Danes were after them?) So it is a fact (by my two sources) that Gustav Adolph was escaping, and it just feels logical that Danes would follow, trying to either kill or capture the Swedish king? //Sorry, I said that I was not going to argue about it more, but I could not resist :) SuecicaRex (talk) 17:01, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Since the references are in Swedish (or maybe Danish), please could you link the relevant one with the statement it supports (using the markup).Deb (talk) 19:49, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Do you mean that i shall put back "it was more a chase of the Swedes fleeing the Danes than a full-scale battle" and then a to the source of the escape and case part? SuecicaRex (talk) 20:30, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
