Go even further to Karl Gustav of Sweden and his attmepted campaign into Russia. He had 12000 musketeers, 20000 other infantry, 4000 cavalry, and 400 cannons. He lost 60% of his force in Russia, and another 30% to the Polish. But, he... he was a very stupid man.

Tali:
Due to the extreme distances and lack of food and shelter, invading Russia has been all but impossible for almost every military until very recently. (Unless you are the mongols).
