IDS_CAMPAIGN_TEXT,"Germany 1618~~Tensions between Catholics and Protestants, simmering since the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, have escalated in recent years.~~With the impending death of the aged Holy Roman Emperor Matthias, the Protestant Bohemian nobility have rejected the election of his militantly Catholic cousin Ferdinand of Austria as Crown Prince of Bohemia. They have shown their displeasure by throwing his representatives out of an upstairs window, triggering war.~~War is destined to last in Germany for thirty years, with foreign intervention by Danes, Swedes, Spanish and French just adding to the turmoil. Much of Germany will be devastated by the depredations of the warring armies.",
IDS_M10_INTRO_Rocroi_TEXT0,"The front line enemy foot battalions are in the old-fashioned deep tercio formation. This is inefficient in terms of firepower, but very resilient. The tercios viejos Espanoles in the centre of the enemy line are particularly dangerous.",
IDS_M10_INTRO_Rocroi_TEXT1,"Our infantry doctrine is for a rapid advance to contact, rather than a prolonged exchange of fire. How well this will work against the tercios remains to be seen.",

IDS_M6_INTRO_Lutzen_TEXT0,"Since their defeat at Breitenfeld, the Imperials have reorganised their foot into shallower formations, the better to maximise their firepower.

Your horse are more lightly armoured than traditional kurassiers, and form up in shallower formations, but this allows them to cover a greater frontage and outmanoeuvre the older larger and deeper formations. Moreover, they are supported by detachments of musketeers. Your foot are in smaller battalions than those of the Catholics or your Saxon allies, but your battalions are grouped in brigades of three, and equipped with attached light guns. Moreover, your musketeers are trained to fire a devastating volley just before contact, with a high chance of cracking the enemy morale.~~The Catholics, under Marshal Tilly, are using traditional tactics, against which your reforms will hopefully prove their worth. If only your Saxon allies prove reliable...",
