Sweden already had the troops, they foolishly though sent them to Northern Germany where a Swedish army under General Stenbock won a battle at Gadebusch only to later be encircled and surrounded inside the fortress at Tönning in Holstein where it surrendered.Where's Sweden is going to get the troops to retake Viborg, to say nothing of Riga, Tallinn, or St.Petersburg?

Had that army been sent to Finland instead of Northern Germany there might have been a reverse in fortunes in that theatre.
