1750 Starting

[Midshipman]

To King Louis XV-
We have no objection to you joing in our glorious alliance. As long as all of the original countries agree.

Foreign and Defense Miister Samuel Cox

[BasV]

The Netherlands sees no trouble in allowing France into the quadruple alliance between Britain, Denmark, Rhineland and the Netherlands, although we'll have to await the opinions of our esteemed allies.

[Midshipman]

I have no problem with France. Also, Prussia (Mao), has asked to join. He is banned, but I have been talking with him, and I think that adding Prussia to our alliance would be a good security addition, and be a good way for us to make sure that no one wants to mess with us.

[Midshipman]

BT-I noticed on the map you missed acouple of things. For England, I had commanders for every corps. Stair with the Third and Wade with Eighth were not on the map. Other tan that, super job.

[hacksaw]

Finally got my deployments
jerusalem 6 corps= 120000 regulars
led by Osman III(123R) * two new generals approved by general
Tagarog 2 corps=35000 regulars
led by grand vizer
Ezum 2 corps= 35000 regulars
Odessa 1 corps= 20000 regulars
led by Misman IV(123R) *
Bucharest 1 corps=16000 regulars
Belgrade 1 corps=16000 regulars
Galatz 1 corps=18000 regulars

[BasV]

The Netherlands has officially declared war on Austria, and has vowed to remove the Hapsburgs from the Southern Netherlands. The II Corps, led by Maurits van Nassau, is on its way to Brussels, while the III Corps is underway to Antwerp. The Austrians seem to be focussing on their campaign in Venice, and the Austrian Netherlands seem to be left without a significant military force. Both Corps are 15.000 men strong, while the I Corps which is of the same strength has moved to Brabant now. The training of the IV Corps of 20.000 men has been started. Prince Maurits van Nassau has vowed to reunite the Netherlands, and remove the oppressive catholics from the rule over the Southern part of it.

That makes sense right?

[PolarisGL]

We thank the Netherlands and England for their kind words to us. If I have a say, then let Prussia be in, for he would be an excellent ally!

[BasV]

The Netherlands welcomes France into the alliance, and does not object to Prussian participation as long as they cancel their cooperation with the Hapsburg menace.

[PolarisGL]

Following our great allies, the Netherlands, France declares war on Austria!

Corps I-IV as well as XIV will be doing an envelope tactic on Liege. They are heading there now. 25,000 of the 50,000 will go on the flank and in assistance will be the XX and XIX Corps using a probe attack in Liege. As of now, Liege is unguarded and no soldiers are in the forests. After the probe an assault will be issued on Liege by the XX and XIX Corps.

MOVEMENTS:

Corps IX and X have moved into Marseilles.
Corps XXXIII, XXXIV, and XXXV have moved into Toulon.

We are planning to aid or north Italian allies in case the Austrians choose to attack them. If they do not, they are for protection.

[PolarisGL]

Along with the flank, after the flank, the flanking/enveloping Corps I-IV and XIV (50,000 men) will be participating in cutting off supply to Liege and will participate in the assault when it is time.

(70,000 men agains 0 Austrian men)
