Yes,but they'd still be crushed. and after them,what's stopping them from just using smallpox against the population that isn't immune? Because,i doubt the colony would spread very quickly,so most of the population would have not been exposed.yes, but on the other hand, if the native population had experienced smallpox and other 'European' diseases 200 years earlier, the surviving population would have built up a resistance to it. Without too much meddling by the Hanse colony, they would by time have rebounded. So the 'new' local population would in many ways have a much better position against the later arriving British and French
