I had a similar experience as Sweden yesterday. Dead in 1705 on VH/VH :)
As before I would make sure someone gets into a few wars and attack them; Lithuania/Poland were attacked by Ottomans, Austrians and Prussia, so I chose them as a target.

I concentrated all my forces in eastern europe (bribed Demnark, got trade agreement, allied with prussia, etc). Attacked and captured Courland, Vilnius and Minsk. Got a Dow from Russia (as expected), killed off their attackers at StPetersburg and moved on towards moscow.
Left a small force in Vilnius to kill off Polish raiders...

Then the BRITISH declare war on me! They land in SWEDEN (my capital region) with 1 full stack and 1 half stack; after letting the troops go, their NAVIES SINK MY NAVY. No way I can get my armies back now :(

Next turn the British capture Stockholm and - amazingly - leave the HALF STACK there and move the full stack back into the ships... and to Finland.... The goddamn AI was blitzing!!!!

Ok it did leave the troops in finland for 1 turn doing nothing, but there was no way I could get there in time...
I must admit I quit the game; hopeless, after 2 stacks of russians showed up near moscow...
