I cant remember seeing any threads about Gustav III so i decided to make one.
The POD is after the second battle of Svenskund where the Swedish fleet destroyed about 40 % of the russian ships and killed 50% of their sailors with fairly minimal casualties of their own. Historically Catherine was eager to make peace because she was also fighting the turks and Gustav realized that this war would take far longer to win then he thought, so a peace treaty was signed not long after.
Lets say that Gustav decided to continue the war at all costs, could the Swedes have taken St Petersburg? Would continued Swedish intervention help the turks with their failing war?
