Here's something that has been bothering me for quite sometime. Through out my education and later adult life, I keep hearing of two supposedly invincible fighting forces of the early 18th century. Both of these factions were lead by a charismatic young king whom is reknown for great usage of military strategy and brilliant victories. These men are Charles XII, the King of Sweden and Fredrick II of Prussia.
Assuming that both factions can concentrate on just fighting each other, whom will emerge superior?
Charlex XII and Sweden in general is in the shape that it was just before the Great Northern War began, with an estimated force of around 77,000.
The Prussian side begins after Frederick II's reformation of the army where he has around 70,000 troops to bring to the field.
Take not that this is not a general sort of melee, but a contest where both nations can use any and all assets they have, except foreign aid. All other factions will remain neutral for the duration of the war.
