-36? I will assume that is sarcasm, since the maximum handicap is 27

[ricketyclik]

No official HC, but when I was keeping track with a spreadsheet it amounted to 36, so 27 I guess.

Those damned Austrians! Security will not allow me to disclose the dastardliness of their act, but I am now at war with them

Sep 1804 to Masuro.

[marcuspeddle]

Wow! Two countries go to war with Austria and in the same month they both lose a city each.

[Paddy]

so which royal house declared war on Austria without any A N Y consoltation with their allies

looks like I am heading out of this game very fast

also looks like you were never to be trusted with so much power

shows your true colours

with great saddness I have lost several cities

I have taken several austrian cavalry units... but at a massive cost

trust does not exist in this game

twits

the drunken Minister of the Interior has been taken from his office and retired to properties on the Danish coast

Great Houses of Europe, Allies in the trus cause

Please accept the apologies of my government over this out burst.

So let us go kick some Austrian butt now

I'm thinking of going after Austria next. Does anyone have a mutual protection pact with them that doesn't expire within the next few turns?

Want to go back a turn?

[Paddy]

no not at all

had hoped seeing I have such a long border with them you could have communicated a bit more closely with me on your plans

ahh that is life in europe

a shame that I have no settlers and to have lost such fantastic towns

onwards

[ricketyclik]

OK, I feel bad. I'll see what I can do to help retrieve your cities as a matter of priority.

[Paddy]

tis alright mate

I was a tad emotional when I opened the save and saw the destruction in my empire

tis the party house of war

and I wanted the war

[ricketyclik]

never the less...

[Paddy]

tis will certainly raise the shackles of my people

war to the end

[Aqualung71]

to rickety

[ricketyclik]

OK, how about this? I will attack Austria to your south, diverting them to a war with me while you build up your forces, making my way towards the Ottomans, from whence I will concentrate on them leaving the Austrians to you.

Perhaps the Czar will do something similar from the west?

Nov 1804 to Masuro (I think).

[marcuspeddle]

Oh my. Austria isn't fooling around, is it? I assume those piles of rubble were once Prussian cities? And Valence doesn't look like it's very long for this world.
And are the Austrians also at war with the Russians?

Sounds good

They took my cities, but my forces were regrouping on my capital

WAR

to the death

1805, a new year of war and disaster in Greater Europe dawns.

to rickety, from the quiet Russian Czar
