Following the Tsar's decisive victory over the Swedish, Frederick Augustus's hand is freed to make his move against the illegally held Swedish territories in the Holy Roman Empire.
He leads the Army of the Saxons into Swedish held Pomerania, from Stettin to Stralsund, liberating the towns and cities from the Swedish yolk.
The Plan of Campaign is as Follows
Army of the Saxons (Friedrich August)
1 Regiment Chevau-leger 2 Regiments of Dragoons 2 Regiments of Grenadiers 2 Regiments of Line 1 Regiment of Engineers 1 Regiment of Artillery (Cannon) 1 Regiment of Artillery (Howitzers)
Plan: The securing of the chief harbours and supply points, Stettin and Stralsund. Occupation of these fortified cities will make it impossible for the Swedes to supply effectively should the counter-attack the province.
The Chevau-Leger and Dragoons will range ahead, to ensure that there are no mustering Swedish troops, and to proclaim the liberation in the cities, towns, and villages.
The new Regiments of Line recruited will form a garrison in Stettin, while the Army of the Saxons will garrison Stralsund.

The land is relatively undefended, and Augustus is able to enjoy a swift occupation.

August begins the work of establishing effective governance over the region, long overlooked by the Swedes as simply a military outpost.
Those lands seized from local nobles by the Swedes are seized by the Saxons, and the former owners are offered full reinstatement. The Burghers of the major cities, Stettin, Stralsund, and Greifswald are invited to reform their City corporations, under the protection of Friedrich August. Banners with the Griffon of Pomerania impaled with the Saxon arms are raised over the towns and cities, as the Swedish Royal banners are torn down to be displayed in Dresden Hofkirche.
The process of recruiting administrators, justices, and militias is placed in motion, with Friedrich declaring a return to Roman Law, in replacement of the Swedish.
