- No free or public domain images are available that demonstrates the tactics of a battalion at battle during early 18th century as good as this drawing.
- The use of the picture in the article adds significantly to the understanding of why Swedish formations such as battalions still kept on using 6 meter longs pikes and the general tactics that was adopted by Gustav II Adolf. The article describes three known formations and the 6 men deep formation with two lines of pikers in the middle is an essential part to illustrate the effectiveness.
