Hoping to capitalise on Sweden great defeat at Poltava and recover its former Scanian provinces, Denmark reentered the great Northern War in late 1709 and crossed the Oresound with an army. At first the invasion was a success, has much of Scania was taken. The Swedes regrouped, however, and managed to gather an army of similar size to the danish one and to inflict it a heavy defeat at the battle of Helsinbourgh, where the comparative lack of experience of the swedes was compensated by the superior competence of their commander.

What if the battle had turned otherwise? In OTL things began to go sour because the danish commander became personally involved in the fighting and lost sight of the greater picture, and when rumours of encirclement began to spread through the danish right flank. What if he hadn't done that and/or what if those rumours had never spread. Alternatively, what if Stenbock, the swedish commander, had been killed early in the battle and his troops disorganised as a consequence?

Would Denmark have recovered Scania or was it too late for that? If Denmark did, indeed, recover those provinces what effects would it have on the subsequent histories of Denmark, Sweden and the rest of Europe?
