ORIGINAL: Suvorov928 Well, I disagree about Russia not declaring on Sweden/Finland at start. I do this in may games when I am Russia, simply to prevent any other major from doing so before I can invade Sweden. However, I move one corps into finland, not the red city, to prevent a lapse in war. I will then invade from my port in April, so I do not have ships at see during an Economic phase. So maybe the A.I can be programed to move a corps into Finland, to prevent a lapse of war, untill it can reach Sweden. Of course the A.I. should be somewhat random as well, so that maybe Russia will declare first turn, maybe wait till after winter, etc, so that it is not so predictable. As far as Prussia, I have seen them decalre war on GB way too often in games I have played. I think that Prussia and Austria, along with GB, should be inclined to work together against France, way more than fight amongst themselves, especially for the first couple of years, or untill a war has concluded between France and one of these nations. I agree. In another thread, I lost my mind and forgot about running a corps over to Sweden proper. But, yes, this is a good strategy. Alternately, true diplomacy can sometimes mean this isn't necessary. If GB is honest and says he will allow Russia to take Sweden, then wait until the time is right. It's even more important if GB is asking for help against France as the price, or if Russia is intending to do so anyhow. The reason is that it can be costly to take Sweden, and that simply means GB has to funnel more money over to the Russians. If they're allies, they should attempt to spend as little as possible. On the other hand, if GB is belligerent, waiting is also better then, too. If Russia is fairly confident that GB will declare war on Sweden (due to failed diplomacy, for instance), then waiting is like gold to Russia. All Russia really has to do is put factors into Sweden himself to help defend it. He'll get the Swedish army and navy to bolster his own forces. Russia will have to declare the war, but that's pretty cheap when accepting Sweden comes with it.
