Got this idea from a Hist Channel doco I just saw today bout Peter the Great- so WI after the Swedes' massive victory over the Russians at Narva- due to the Swedish bayonet charge thru the blizzard- Charles decides to strike out for Moscow instead of OTL deciding to go after Poland 1st which enabled Peter to have time to recover for a later confrontation with his Baltic arch-enemy ? Could Russia hev been badly defeated enough to have Peter's aspirations for Great Power status be crushed before they fully came to fruition, or would such a Swedish campaign ahve been perhaps an earlier redux of the OTL scorched earth Poltava campaign of 1709 ?
