Here are the 4 objectives:
Take Turku City;
Take Stockholm City;
Kill Dobeln; &
Take Karlskrona Port.
==========================
1) Add general (Kate) to one battleship, move it to bombard Turku's defender with the other two ships. Stay clear of the Swedish heavy arty.
2) Add 3 generals to 3 x grenadiers, 2 x light arty & 2 x heavy arty.
3) Move the other frigate up to join the other three ships you have up north.
4) Once the 4 ships have greatly weakened the Turku's defender, move west quickly to clear Cronstedt, the coastal gun and the other ships for your land force to land.
5) Spilt your troops into two. Grenadier and light cavalry to take the factory east of Turku before taking Turku and clearing the heavy arty. Once Turku is safe, move east and land on Stockholm to help kill Dobeln.
6) Light arty and heavy arty will cross the sea under the protection of Kate and the other ships. You may fire on the enemy ships, but do not be at the front of the fleet. Land around the trench then take the stable then move east towards Orebro to hit Dobeln. The Swedish and British will attempt to rush your position. Buy a tripe grenadier to hold Stockholm while your two arty move north then down to bypass the rushing Swedish and British troops. Dobeln will be sitting alone in the stable without protection.
7) Your second wave of reinforcement from Turku should be sufficient to hold the line against the rushing Swedish and British while your two arty bombard Dobeln.
8) Kate and the 3 other ships should move south towards Karlskrona port once your first wave of 2 arty landed. You can still keep 1-2 smaller ships to help bombard Stockholm. But Kate and another ship should head south to ensure that your French allies are not overran by the british and Swedish.
9) While all the above are ongoing, the French ships will escort their land forces to land at Karlskrona. They will have some success initially, but they will soon be overwhelmed by five british ships and Swedish land forces. Hence, it is vital for Kate to move south quickly to ensure simultaneous success.
Good luck and have fun!
