France in Denmark? This is the strangest opening I've ever seen!
Reminds me of that one topic about having units stranded in odd places.

There are actually a number of openings that take advantage of the possibility of getting Germany to move to Sweden to slide into Denmark, so it isn't too odd.

I had I hard time naming this. I googled it and I only got the German invasion of Norway and Denmatk.

Denmark*

So Russia has no part after Spring 1901 other than giving up two of its units for England and France's benefit?

I'm assuming France's other unit is going to Spain? What about if Germany goes to Burgundy.

Say Germany doesn't move from denmark? Then what? Or if Germany moves F Kie-Hol, A Ber-Kie, and A Mun-Ruhr in the Spring of 1901?

My favourite opening!

Mine as well. But sometimes i move Munich to Burgandy instead---depends on the situation.

@Christminis
Two ways Russia can join it the fun
Either
Spring V 1.
A Mos-Lvn
F StP(sc)-GoB
Fall
A Lvn-Pru
F GoB-StP
Spring V 2
A Mos-StP
F GoB-StP
Fall
A StP-Fin
F GoB Hold

@hitler II
Well that happened sometime went wrong in the opening diplomacy. Regardless
The F Hol variant
Eng
A Edi-Den
F Nth C Edi-Den
F Nwg-Nwy
Fra
A Pic-Bel
A Spa Hold
F Enc S Pic-Bel
Rus
A StP-Fin
F GoB-Swe

F StP-GoB*

Now that I think of it F Hol might be better for the Allies. Expect France. France had to use F Enc for a convoy in the F Den variant. But, in the F Hol variant F Enc-Lon is very tempting...

A better Fall 01 move for Russia might be St. P - Sweden convoyed by GoB. Then move to the Baltic in Spring 1902, for a supported attack on Denmark. (Or attack Den from Swe+North or Swe+Skag, and use Baltic to cut Kiel's support.)

The bigger concern is how you get England to accept this. Once Germany is done, how do you split the centers? Perhaps Bel/Munich for France, Berlin/Denmark for Russia, Kiel/Hol for England? Where does England go next? He has to attack either France or Russia, right? He won't be in a particularly strong position to do either, and he won't have an ally; it would be much easier for France and Russia to squeeze him out entirely.

One rather contrived option is for Russia to get Norway/Sweden, France to get Bel/Holland, and England to get Kiel/Berlin/Munich/Denmark (maybe Den could go to Russia); that way, England has a foothold on the continent, and can move against Austria. But it would be an awkward position to play, very vulnerable to a stab from either side. England would be effectively playing as Germany, having given up her own strength as a corner power.

Don't get me wrong; if France and Russia can convince England to do this, it's a _great_ position for them. But I think you'd need an inexperienced England to not see what was coming.

The Swedish Gambit usually runs with England putting an army in Denmark and the Russians moving Bothnia to Baltic.
This works also with the Russians bouncing in Galicia in Spring 01 and then moving Warsaw to Silesia.
What you want is the French to be pushing on Belgium/Munich.

In the proposed opening at the start of the thread there is no reason to convoy Picardy to Denmark since the English army from EDI is more effective and this would allow the Picardy army to go against Belgium.
Remember that the whole 'surprise' thing is blown in the Fall of 01 under the proposed plan so there is no reason to tie up the French units in a useless convoy, It is far better to use English Channel to support the move to Belgium if the Germans are in Ruhr rather than the holding in Munich. ((Germany has probably a less than 10% chance of being in Munich in the above situation since holding is so contrary to the diplomacy and is probably more likely to happen by a bounce in Tyrolia than a real hold)).

He speaks truth.
