@ Ssorenn, I've previously commented & discussed this as an opening move for Russia, but "taunting" ???
I first tried it because I got sick of Germany bouncing Russia in Sweden in Autumn 01
First step depends on Austria & getting a deal going with him, I try to base that on a common alliance against Turkey, offering to put a fleet, not army into Rumania, and the essential no move to Galicia by both of us.
But I don't tell him I'm going to move to Silesia, I tell no one that.
Second step, sound out Germany about Sweden & possible alliance.
I might talk to England about "working together" & I don't discuss attacking Germany with France before the Spring move.
I prefer to surprise France, England and Germany with the move, if I play it.
That depends on how Austria and Germany respond.
The overall strategy is to make a vulnerable Germany and surrounding neutral sc's into a "Balkans" in the North.
Have to go now, will follow up later. There are vulnerabilities in the strategy.
