		The decisive battle of Poltava was the culmination of a long campaign which saw the Russians lay waste to much of Ukraine to weaken the Swedish through scorched-earth strategy, constant harassement and sheer campaign attrition.
		Russian firepower won the battle, and with it more or less the war; but even with all the factors counting against them (the least of which wasn't a stark numerical inferiority) the Swedes very nearly routed the Russian centre, and had it cracked they might well have carried the day in the confusion.
