That’s a bit surprising. No way that should happen!

The Danes are no match in battle even for that small force...you land them south of Kopenhagen if you wish to avoid battle... on the following turn(s) Charles moves to besiege the city (fortunately blockaded by the anglo Dutch fleet) and the Swedish fleet goes back to Malmoe for ferrying the rest of the Swedes (not sure you even need them)

Code: Select all
ˈRusski, a. and n. slang or colloq.
Also Roosky, Ruski, Rusky, Russky.
[ad. Russ. Russkiy.]
= Russian a. and n. Hence ˈRusski-land, Russia.

phoenix wrote:Words and usages are complicated and VERY context sensitive. I'm prepared to learn that 'Russky' is offensive to Russians 'in general', or even some Russians, but it's not offensive to the Russians I personally know, and a quick look on-line doesn't yield any clear consensus, as far as I can see. It might be possible to use it disparagingly, of course - instead of using it much as someone might say 'the Brits', for British (which was how I used it above). But it doesn't seem to be in the same category as many other pejorative words I can think of, and wouldn't use, to describe peoples from various parts of the world. In the UK (which is not, admittedly, a bastion of political correctness or any kind of example to anyone...), where I grew up, you could use Russky as I've indicated above, as a non-pejorative nickname for Russian, exactly as you would use 'Brit'. But usage changes, and I could be out of date.
Like I said, I'm happy to learn and not use it at all, clearly, if it offends any Russians. Any Russians want to chip in?
