Napolean forms his army, moves into Russia. Russia retreats, scorched earth policy. Napolean stops, takes a larger portion of the old Poland, plus Lithuania & forms a new larger Poland.

He trains the new army, while at the same time moving a portion of his army against St Petersberg. Russian army turns & uses scorched earth again. Napolean once again pulls back. Now, there is a large area of Scorched Russia, as well as a large Polish nation between him & Russia. Prussia doesn't do anything, since Napolean is right there. Folowing year, Napolean does the same thing. Enlarges Polish nation, at Russia's expense, giving peasants a better life & another season of scorched earth dividing the two nations. Poland becomes a well disiplined, well trained army, committed to the French. Russia either accepts Frances terms or continues to lose land & has a scorched frontier where they can't move either.Prussia stays quiet, Sweden stays quiet. Austria may try something but with a larger French army to their north & a vastly improved Polish army as well, probably stays quiet. If they don't, they lose, Poland gets a bigger chunk of territory & a stronger position. Who's left to fight the French? Britain in Spain.

Napolean just needs to move with a force late in the year, when operations in Russia are out of the question. Forces Wellington back or defeats him. Does same thing in Spain as in Russia, scorched earth.

Spanish can then either accept their ruined nation year after year or side with French, kick British out & France leaves them alone.
