We played a boardgame version of EiA with some house-rule changes to Sweden including a splitting Sweden in more provinces. We did not use the EiH map. The sweden-rules we played with was a crossover betwen a oficial variation from "The General", a unoficial unplaytested version i found some place on the net and a debate with my co-players on historical relevance and playability (we was a group of 8 including 5 historians, one of them with speciality in th Napolionic age). The end result was an army wich corp for corp was only second to France and Prussia. Again remember it was a 1792 variantion, where all Austrian corps are 10i, 1c and all minors have 8i,2c - my total army capacity was an unhistorical high of 52 factors as i recall, while Brittain could field 68 and Russia 144. The numbers seep for themselves. If MG incorporate a playable Sweden, I would expect it to be identical to the minor of the standard rules, and that would ounly make it even more dificult to make an impact on the game as a separate power... The game was spend in a aliance with GB and Russia for the most part, and i did manage to gain Norway in a deal with GB - the problem was i could not offer anything wothwhile to the aliance, and had nothing to offer or gain from an aliance with anyone ells - France would be unable to help me against GB or Russia, and conequently i was in fact in the mercy of said countries. Off course a gameexperience is allways subjective, and i wouldnt mind some one ells playing Sweden, but i would rather play as any of the other countries.
