    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    No,you simply do not knew polish History.Till 1648 we have best army in the world,and do not used it,becouse gentry do not wonted wars.And feared/rightly so/ that our Kings would use victorious war to get more power. Hence we would not take Modavia and Wallahia if we could - becouse gentry would...

    Or hanged.Cossack used to hang jew,gentry and dog on the same tree,becouse for them all 3 have the same Faith. Wiśniowiecki,who saved everybody he could from cossack,was consider as almost saint by jews.

    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    You must be right.Companions paid not only for themselves,but 2 retainers,10-15 armed servanys,and 2 wagons each.And then waited till King paid them.Which basically NEVER covered costs. Gentry becomed less rich,but still have money - problem is,those who had it decide that it is better to buy...

    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    It is not wisful thinking,only realistic one.Gdańsk was full of german protestants - who wonted be part of Poland to the point that they fought prussians alone in 1792 when Poland capitulated. The same goes for East Prussia - Hohenzollerns need to purge elites there,becouse they/german...

    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    1.They would win against Poland before 1643,right? then they would be stopped,becouse hetman Koniecpolski was genius,and winged hussarls of that time need field fortyfications to be stopped. There is reason why Swedes do not dare face him in open field. And polish mixed 30k army would be enough...

    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    All true.Winged hussarls was capable of making 80km per day on steppe,so they could catch any army.And arleady have dragoons to cover them as infrantry. Reason why winged hussarls failed - first they were commanded by rotmistrz,who go home and pay porucznik/lieutnants/ to lead unit. Then...

    1.True. 2.Koniecpolski smashed Swedes in 1627 so hard,that they feared to face us on battlefield till he died. And ,except winged hussarls who in that time could go through everything,we have money and good infrantry&artillery,too. We would not lost sea,becouse Gdańsk with its own private army...

    Great story,with one problem.Till 1648 Poland have 30.000 strong army with winged hussarls unstoppable by anything on battlefield,good infrantry,field artillery and engineers. And till 1645 we have one of the best commanders in the world,hetman Koniecpolski who defeated Gustald Adolphus when he...

    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    I think that we would have german protestant state in North America under british rule,which would take most of Mexico. In OTL many german settlers come there,now they would be majority.And,becouse they accepted kings,there would be no American Revolution or failed one. I imagine english...

    WI: Thirty Years' War ends in a decisive victory for either side

    Since many would be townspeople,we would have stronger cities as a result.One of main reasons why PLC failed was weak cities. And,with germans supporting Kings rule over gentry,we would have stronger King as well. Since Prussia was still polish vassals at that time,we would never lost East...
