If you are looking for a comparison of different armies of the period - Arteus: Carolinian and European Battle Tactics 1700-1712 is interesting but since it was published in 1972 by Lidkoping not sure if its still in print and in which languages.
For a broad introduction to the whole of the Swedish Imperium - Roberts both his anthology, Sweden's Age of Greatness 1632-1718 &
The Swedish Imperial Experience 1560-1718
For the Economic situation in the Baltic - Jill List, The Struggle for Supremacy in the Baltic is fairly simple but very interesting. In particular its informative on Baltic Trade with the Maritime powers of UDP, England & France & brings out the question of did Sweden expand in an opportunist mode because its neighbours were going through a period weakness? Or was the "Dominium maris Baltici" a considered and long term Swedish policy to establish a monoply in Russian & North European traffic with the West?
For the Poltava Campaign - I enjoyed Peter Englund "The Battle of Poltava The Birth of the Russian Empire" (English version by Victor Gollancz 1992 ISBN 0 575 05107 . A oddly titled book since its written from the Swedish Side and surely sure be sub titled The death of the Swedish Empire. Its got a really big list of sources inc and a very interesting Biographical Appendix mostly drawn from Karl XII: Officers Biographical Notes in two volumes!!
Think for God King & Country Players (no names....but Kingmaker) who are taking their wives to Siberia may like to look up one Brigitta Christine Scherzenfeldt.
But my favourite amongst all these wounded 20 Times, escaped, killed, locked up for dauling types has got to be Johan Cronman.....starts as 2nd Lieutenant Narva Garrison, Capt in French Service 1994, Captain in Spanish Service 1695-97, captured as a Colonel of Kronoberg Regt in 1709, returned from Russia in 1722 and finished up as a Lt-General, Baron & County Governor. Fought in 13 Battles but never wounded. Spoke 8 languages..........its the Swedish Flashman!
Its got a
