Setting = 1631 AD, in the 30 years war, a year after Sweden invades Holy Roman Empire to back the Protestant factions against the Catholic factions. In 1631, Sweden was exceptionally winning.
Background = Past the Battle of Breitenfeld—a masterstroke of the Swedish, protestant force—Greve Olof and his men have chased the Catholic rout back to a village. Of Catholics, yes, but harmless, innocent Catholics. Growing up, the Greve had always idolised his parents and theirs, and their parents and all the way up to his favourite, Jarl Gorm 'the Gory' Ulfsson—a vikingr of clan Kraken, tallest among his time—and Olof, standing at 6'4", happens to be one of the tallest of his time. Like ancestor, like descendant, Olof decided to call for a raid and allow his men to do whatever they want, be it killing, robbing or something worse while his Swedish dragoons raze the entire village.
Olof's men consist of; Swedish pikemen (96), Swedish musketeers (144), Finnish harquebusiers (60) and Swedish dragoons (40), numbering about 340 in total.
The village consist of; villagers (380), militia (45), village guards (12) and the Catholic soldiers that fled (45) but have been drastically reduced from these figures by the first three volleys of muskets and the onset of the charge from Olof's men

1631 AD - In the 30 Years War,
Ash and iron filled the air. From a distance, sure, but closer as the weeks passed. Eventually, the villagers saw why—Croats, Milanese and the imperial Austrians, all Catholic—limping one after the other into the settlement. Pious to the heart, these villagers shared what little food they had.
While they ate, some villagers asked. With horror and shame, a trooper recalled,
Otho: "We had the Saxons scattered like chaff, my friends, but the Swedes... those headstrong, heretick hounds of scheisse, they... Gott. Our dead were left peppered like cheese that day. It was all devilry. Utter devilry"
Among the gasps, a frouw would comment,
Marija: "Gott, have mercy on us..."
Now unfortunately for Marija and her pious, little community, Gott in fact will NOT have mercy on them. A ball of lead came piercing through Otho's left cheek, and out from his right, bringing with it the roar of matchlock muskets.
Silence at the first volley. Screams at the second. And even more blood after the next. Having exhausted the last of his musketeers' lead, Olof rose the steel of his värja.
Olof: "Som våra fäder före oss, GE SKÖVLING OCH BRAND!!!"
And the Swedes charged forward. Groups of feverish pikemen rushed to ram the panicking guards, the heads of their pikes digging in deep, while Finnish harquebusiers—cavalrymen with guns—shot on the fleeing men, women alike as they rode with glee.
Dragoons, on the other hand, were galloping around with torches, razing whatever (and whomever) looked flammable. At their forefront was Olof, the Greve af Kråkön, having plenty of fun as he rode and swung his värja like a fan—gutting militiamen left and right.
