Just a thought. would it have made sense for the French to attack along the Baltic coast, they could be resupplied by sea and although they would have long train, their forces would have been able to defend along their line. Taking St Petersburg would have allowed the French to isolate Russia from her allies

Yes. Moskva had not been the capital for a 100 years in 1812, since Pyotr Aleksejevitj/ Pyotr Veliky built St Petersburg, and when Napoleon reached Moskva the Russians just had to wait until his supplies came to its end/ran out and he was forced to retreat. Russia didn´t need the control of Moskva to function. Some say that the reason Napoleon went to Moskva was that the aim of the invasion was to destroy the Russian army, and that he followed them, but if he had gone to the area o St Petersburg the main force of the Russian army would probably have gone theire as well.

The AI voice and the AI illustrations make this sound and look idiotic.

Never understood why anyone would want to invade Russia. Too freaking cold most of the year, everyone is drunk, and the women, while hot when young, all end up fat and ugly in old age.
