The battle in Poznan is ealily won and the Polish retreat to Wielkopolska, which is owned by Lithuania. The siege of Bohemia has started and I split my army there in two to start sieging Moravia as well. Meanwhile the army of Friesland invades Brandenburg and starts sieging Oldenburg.
In April 1547 Brandenburg advances in Infrastructure Tech and I can now upgrade Legal Counsels to Chief Judges.
Infrastructure Technology advance. Brandenburg can now upgrade Legal Counsels to Chief Judges, April 1547.
In May an Ottoman army marches into Moravia and takes over my siege. They start an assault right away and take the province. A small Polsih army has taken to looting in Silesia but they don't have enough men yet to start a siege. the Polish seem to focus somewhat on Lithuania, which is actually a good move from them, as Lithuania has much lower military technology. My allies praxctically lose every fight except if they greatly outnumber the enemy.
Situation of the war in May 1547.
During the summer the Polish move more men into Silesia and start dieging it. They even assault the fort once but luckily fail. They also try to siege back Moravia, which is still in the hands of the Ottomans.
In October I get the 'Death and Taxes'-event in Küstrin and I go for the +2 tax increase and the accompanying revolt.
Death and taxes, Küstrin, October 1547.
In December the siege in Poznan proves successful. At the start of the spring of 1548 the other siege in Bohemia also fruitions. I order the Poznan army to take care of the rebels in Küstrin and then march them off to Oldenburg to take care of the Friesland army still sieging there.
Sieges successful in Poznan and Bohemia, December 1547-March 1548.
By August the war between the Polish and Ottomans is over, the Polish have to pay war reparations but the Ottomans did not win enough from them to ask for provinces. This means I can start sieging Moravia again. The Polsih have meanwhile taken control of Wielkopolska and the Prussian have conquered Danzig. This is a very dangerous situation for me as Lithuania is alliance leader. I want to get something out of this war but if they keep losing territory I'll get nothing. To speed things up I order new recruits in brandenburg. I have an army sieging Friesland, another one sieging Moravia. The Polish have an army marching against me in Moravia and are still sieging Silesia.
Situation of the war in August 1548.
My army in Moravia withstands the Polish army and in November the province is mine. The following moth the combined armies from Moravia and the new recruits from Brandenburg defeat the Polish in Silesia.
Siege successful Moravia, November 1548.
During the winter of 1548-49 the Prussians start sieging Lithuania itself. If they take the province I guess it's over and out as the Lithuanians will most probably back out then. I can only hope that my siege in Friesland is successful sooner and gives me enough leverage to ask at least one and hopfully two of the three provinces I want.
My prayers are heard and in February 1549 the siege in Friesland is completed. The Polish accept to cede Poznan and Bohemia and peaace is restored in Brandenburg.
Peace with the Polish Alliance, February 1549.
In the following months Naval Technology progresses to level 5 and Land Technology advances to level 13. Both give no buni, but level 14 gives the next CRT bonus IIRC.
