March 1632 CE
Gustavus Adolphus in March 1632 invades Bavaria, a staunch ally of the Emperor.
Support for Sweden among the peasants does not fade, even when they are mobilized and recruited for military construction works.
A different situation emerges in the towns, where burghers are often in conflict with the garrison.
While the Swedish king issues several decrees ruling and restricting the interaction of soldiers and burghers, this does not prevent "turmoils against the undisciplined soldatesca" already in 1632.
The larger towns often refuse to fulfill the demands of the Swedish military.
