The War of Austrian Succession heats up as France and Spain declare war on Austria.

The Austrian General Khevenhuller turns to meet the new threat of the French army under Broglie and marches into Bavaria and begins to besiege Munich. Frederick the Great marches his main field army through Bohemia and joins up with Broglie.

Meanwhile in the South, the Spanish army under Gages moves up into Austrian controlled Modena and joins with a single French Corps. The Austrian General Traun stands in Venetia ready to repel the Spaniards.

In the East, the Russians have declared war on Poland and gather in two large armies to begin their invasion.

In the New World, all is quiet for now, but Great Britain, France, and Spain all continue to build up their forces.

Long time since I updated this! The war between Austria vs. France, Prussia, and Spain is over. Here is what happened:

The Austrians moved to Bavaria and took Munich by siege.
This caused the Prussians and French to attack.
The Austrians defeated the Prussians and French in a bloodly 2 day battle.
The next turn the Prussians and French attacked again but were again defeated by Austria.

In the South the Austrians with 2 corps moved to Romagna and were attacked by a Spanish army of 6 corps. The battle ended in a double break but the Austrians were left with only 4,000 men in Italy.

Finally, Austria surrendered conditionally to France, Prussia, and Spain but the surrender was light as Prussia took reparations, France blocked trade, and Spain took 24 months of peace.

Everyone still has a great chance to win the game at this point.

France and her Allies Frederick of Prussia and Philip the Emperor have graciously awarded the austrian king a fair peace. This peace is just and fair for all and will mean a long and prosperous peace in Europe for the coming 50 years.

Although the austrians have already broken the promise of no trade we do guess it is only a mistake by some overeager but senile bureacrat who have misread the content in the treaty.

By the grace of God,

Louis XV, Roi de France
