A quicker Danish-Norwegian assault changes little in 1719

A quicker success could allow further progress in the 1719 campaign, though the assault is identified tentatively.

Question

What if the Danish-Norwegian assault in 1719 had been more successful?

Short answer

On the tentative identification used here, a quicker victory could extend the campaign slightly without a large change in its outcome.

Notes

The proposed improvement is a quicker and easier Danish-Norwegian assault in 1719, after Charles XII's death. On the tentative identification made during the exchange, the attackers had already succeeded. Taking the position more quickly could let them carry the campaign slightly farther. The likely change is therefore limited, and the assault's identity remains uncertain in the captions.
