"Gott mitt uns" is German for "God with us", which was the official motto of the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf (Gustavus Adolphus), who personally led his army of Swedish conscripts in the Thirty Years War. In many ways, he was a revolutionary tactician, laying the foundation for a new era of military docringe, later to be used succesfully by the Caroleans. He focused on mobility and speed, even when it came to his artillery. Truly an opportunist who made the most of a situation and kicked of the Era of Great Power in Sweden (Stormaktstiden).
