you can also avoid the staunton completely with playing e6 before f5. you risk ending up in the french defence but i dont think many d4players are prepared for the french:) i rather play french than black side of staunton gambit

I can't even find 4.Nh3 in my opening encyclopedia, not even as a foot note. I suppose e6 followed by d5. Staunton's gambit realy isn't all that scary, fxe4 happens in alot of dutch lines anyway, especialy the classical ones
