Alright, so let's try to keep it real. After Sweden has achieved mare de balticum, what should be her next focus? Russia, Germany UK or something completely different? Should she just weather out the storm and try to pick off whoever is losing and form ties with whoever survives? Germany would definitely be a good first choice as an ally in that case, so perhaps jut building up from 1940 For Barabossa?
A "CLEAN" WC is pretty much off the table, but going for Russia while it is weakened could definitely be an option. Sweden can't survive without germany as a meatshield so it should just try to suck up to Germany and make sure the baltics are secured from the Allies. Let's remember that most of the lend lease that was talked about in another thread passed through Finnmark to Murmansk, so if Sweden can secure those harbors and take out Stalingard then it could seriously disrupt the USSR unity and equipment which is badly needed during 1941. While it has been debated whether the lend lease was vital or not, if the Heer is divided into two armies rather than three then it might also not have to worry as much about logistical difficulities and merely focus on rushing Moscow and Stalingrad. Assuming Sweden can hold out long enough for the now more concentrated Heer to relieve them then I'd say we'd have a pretty good chance of making a difference. Thoughts?
Lines could go from latvia and be drawn all the way along moscow to the urals and beyond so everything north will be fenno-scandinavia and everything under it will be germany, splitting Serbia in two parallell sectors.
