PRUSSIA BOWS OUT IN STYLE!!!

This month, in an amazing decision which stunned everyone involved Fredrick Willhelm, realizing he couldnt hold back the french juggernaut and also realizing that he was holding up his russian allies has decided to turn the entire prussian nation over to the Russian peoples. All the prussian armed forces have taken up arms in the russian army and they are fighting for their former homeland!!! Viva La Russia!!

Russia, sept 1799

Tzar Alexander adressed the nation in all the major Newspapers this month, urging every Russian and Prussian men to take up arms against the French agressor.

" We will protect our Prussian friends and new members of this great country with all our might and effort."

*Breslau incorporated into the Russian Empire, uniting the Prussian Nation with Russia.

*Russian intelligence indicated a large French force resting in Krakau. The Russian forces in the area quickly engaged the French in a massive battle for the controll of the city. The casualties on both sides where high, but Russian forces made the day and is currently in controll of the city.

[DarthVeda]

It looks to me like this game is about to be very over, no offense Russia

[Case]

French Cavalry in Action!

Frances elite cavalry forces have won two great battles this month. After a brief battle French cavalry belonging to the Army of the Oder has taken the city of Breslau.
Meanwhile, a large portion of the Army of the Danube's Cavalry has struck out at Russian forces near Krakow and have slaughtered no less then four regiments of Russian troops, thereby advenging the French defeat in the Battle of Krakow.

DV: I think that a stalemate is a more likely outcome

Russia1799oct

*Russian forces attacks French forces outside Krakau, French dragoons slaughtered.

*The Tzar is worried about the large size of the French Empire. Hopefully Russia can take advantage of the fact that the French forces are so close to eachother.

[Grothgar]

I will be doing the maps every two turns, just to let you know

[Case]

Krakow and Russian Army Destroyed in Titanic Battle!

In one of the biggest battles yet seen, the French Army of the Danube has crushed the Russian army concentrated in Krakow. The French high command has announced that over 6 Russian regiments were destroyed in the battle. French casualties were light, and French troops are helping to evacuate the former residents of the city.

Warsaw and Danzig Fall

After brief battles the former Prussian cites of Warsaw and Danzig have been occupied by the French Army of the Oder.

Copenhagen Taken

The French Atlantic Fleet has entered the Kattegat and has bombarded the city of Copenhagen into submission. French casualties were heavy, but it appears that Russian losses have been greater still.

Sas, I just saw in CFC that you're taking a 2-3 week vacation. When are you going to be leaving?

Personally, I'd rather finish this game then have someone new replace you... (I'll either crush them or we'll settle into a bloody stalemate)

That said, Grothgar; If you want to replace Sas that's more then fine by me

[Grothgar]

Dont worry, we had already talked this through, if this game is still going on when SAS takes his holidays then i am going to take over,
