Tried it briefly when it came out then a couple of attempts today and finally got the hang of it. Still had a couple of territories outside my control when I finished off the last Russian province. Assuming I was very unlucky but Pomerania was a pig to take. Went in with I think it was 8 armies against the 3 defenders and lost but reduced them to 1. Then it took at least three more rounds with 5 attacking armies before I finally killed off that last defender. Good little game however.

Well I basically did an anti-clockwise loop. Working through S Norway, Scotland, England, France and Germany then east through Poland into Russia. Maintained one big army to push through this and kept others largely on the defensive to protect against any threats from the south or east. The Russians took out the Poles and then I think briefly held Germany, after my initial attack failed, then I took it from the Russians the next turn. After that I was able to overwhelm the Russians by sheer weight of numbers and a broader front attack.

Then I will try this tactic as well. |

I did also occupy the province in SW Sweden, Slaklan I think it is in the game almost immediately to bar attacks from the south. Also at one point I lost S Dalarna which I had left garrisoned with only a single army to either some sort of rebellion or an attack from another neutral power - i.e. not one of the major powers. Got it back immediately and garrisoned it a bit strionger after that and didn't have much trouble after that. Probably should have kept some spare moral points from mid-game onwards as that would have saved some battle losses but tended to use all reinforcement points to build additional units.
