Yepp Bocaj to survive a combined attack from Denmark and Holland in the same game as a small Brandenburg, with 10 WE at 1 to 2 CRT disadvantage, is not too easy either. ;)

I don't agree that much that land based nations could field good naval expeditions (unless you count a nation like France going max land-slider DP). This was only done to a very limited extent because of the difficulties involved. However, naval nations' armies were usually elite troops; they were not worse just because that nation had a large navy. I'm mainly thinking about England and Holland of course, although it might be applicable to other historical examples as well.
