[Nitpick] Sweden used to invade Russia, not the other way around. Carl the XII’th was actually the first of the looser trilogy (followed by Napoleon and Hitler) to try to take Moscow. Thus Swedish cannons were sparse and utilitarian since they had to be transported long distances. Heck, Sweden held Poland, and actually attacked Turkey. Look at a map. An amazing feat, both in sheer effort and above all in stupidity.

Looser? Was there a tighter trilogy at some point?
