Russia - having recently crowned a new tsar; enjoys the fruits of the
Sweden-for-Denmark deal his predecessor made with Britain...

How perfideous the Albion will be is yet to be determined...

Britain is meanwhile using his Swedish minions to attack French shipping and ports...

Britain is obvously waiting to try to attack defenseless French shipping...

Meanwhile; valient Frenchmen pledge to defend every inch of French soil (and water)

France will garrison EVERY port or capitol to prevent any of the evil Brits from escaping
if they try to attack again.

Spain also appears to believe in a good defense

Gibralter is also flying the wrong flag

Thanks for the update.

It is frequently incredible to see how biased some news sources can be.
 
Just consider the source, folks. Do you REALLY want your only source of information to be a "tin-plated over-bearing dictator with delusions of godhood"?
 
Back to tea and crumpets.

Austria shall not shirk from the responsibilities hoisted upon it by France's unjust declaration of war. The Empire has been preparing for this all last year by manipulating the economy to squeeze the maximum manpower and tax revenue out of the home provinces. Austria is fully mobilized to smartly counter any and all incurrsions.

Spain's DOW, while not completely unexpected, is perplexing. There is nothing that Spain can gain. I'll see to it, even if it is at the expense of French advancement. Austria ceded Papacy to Prussia during the Dec econ phase to keep it out of enemy hands, fully knowing that the requisiite PP loss would push me into Instability for the ensuing Diplo phase thereby causing my one conquered minor, in Italy no less, to go neutral so that it wouldn't be ripe for easy picking. Spain nor any other active ally of France shall not prosper from their aggression.

The French have been spreading their vile propoganda to many corners of the world. Rest assured that Great Britian shall assist you in your holy and righteous upholding of the traditions of Christian governorance (even if your nation does still show allegience to His Holiness in Rome).
 
By the way, I applaud the way you kept His Holiness' God-given territory out of the hands of the Corsican Usurper.

Ok; ladies & gentlemen of the audience; we have the first "real" (exchange of battle-file files) battle to fight

Nappy was moving to attack Charles when the Austrian Insurrection corp appeared.

We are currently in the process of resolving this & I will post results when they are complete

Ok; the battle in leopoldstadt is resolved:

1st round was 4 French corp (65I, 20G, 12C) commanded by Nappy vs
2 Austrian Insurrection corp (30I 6C) no commander



Result from round 1 - no casulties on either side; 0.2 Austrian mrl.

Note - there was an ... interresting... effect on the loss screen - the program
was appearently offering me (France) the choice of Artillery (non in THIS battle)
or SHIPS (in a land combat)

In round 2; Charles reinforces in with 8 more Austrian corp.

Losses were 13 French I; 10 Austrian M :
