Gå–På in Scanian War?

"The Gå–På method specialized on shock tactics and was the standard combat technique used in the Swedish army at the time. This very aggressive tactic often resulted in short–lived battles in order to counter superior numbers of enemies."

When did the Swedish army start to use this tactic? Could it have been used during the Scanian War?

Gee wiz, I have been sadly misinformed. I though the Swedes delivered a pistol shot as they galloped into contact swords in hand, Gaa Paa; My grandmother [RIP] told me that was what the mark ment, and she was a Swede.
