A different Battle of Nordlingen?

So, there are at least a dozen threads about Gustavus Adolphus surviving etc. I'm interested in the consequences of a Protestant victory at Nordlingen in 1634. Let's say they manage to defeat Ferdinand of Hungary before the Spanish arrive or if they successfully cut off the Catholics from Donauworth and force them to lift the siege of Nordlingen like they originally planned to. Probably, a Protestant victory on the scale of Breitenfeld isn't possible, but maybe a limited victory is. Besides, Cardinal-Infante didn't have much more time to spend in Germany and Baner still had an army in Silesia ready to attack again that could force the Imperials to retreat back into Bohemia and abandon Bavaria altogether.
Now, does anyone have ideas about the effects of this on the future war, the treaty between Poland and Sweden that was over in 1635 and about possible French involvement in the war?
Thanks, :)
 
Ok, bumping this...with a few more questions.
I read that the Swedes had a chance to attack the Imperialist army under Ferdinand of Hungary before it was reinforced by the Spanish under the Cardinal-Infante. In that case the Protestants would have had numerical superiority and possibly the element of surprise. If they do that and win what's next? Could the Spanish be informed in time? Would they they try to avoid the enemy and retreat to find a safer route to Netherlands? If the Protestants don't suffer too many casualties and reorganize in time to catch the Spanish what consequnces would it have for the war against the Dutch? And finally, would the Swedes move into Bavaria or Bohemia (where they already had another army under Baner on the border and aldo the Saxons)? Could the Protestants win the entire war then and what is the Emoeror's next move?
