A look at the post war map

Oh great, I knew this would come in time.

Ouch. However, your allies look like they have honoured their promises - This will be a big war, Britain and possibly USA vs the Russians.

I'm hoping both will. If they do not I will have to mobilize to keep them out.
 
We mobilize the whole country and hold our own on all borders.

Then the Frogs decide to take Tunisia when I am in the heat of the battle with the Bear.

France blitzed us at the right time. In order to salvage at least on war, we give them Tunis. Allah only knows when and if we will get the military strength to get Tunis back under our wing.

Russia's war of aggression against us ended in a White Peace

Well the economy is coming around.

Starting to make a push for military tech. Next on my list is to take cores from Egypt that belong to me.
v2_11-3.jpg


I am trying to get friendly with the NGF so if things go south with Russia or Austria, I have a little hope for an ally to knock on their door.
v2_13-3.jpg


Sar Pied will make a good ally if France decides to start more trouble.
v2_14-3.jpg
 
So, we have decided to start offensive military plans once more. The only problem is that the UK sides with Egypt. Italian Allies help out I picked up along the way.

Russia again attacks my Georgian border. I mobilize to tame the bear.
v2_16-1.jpg


France sure does not like me having a hold on North Africa. With War with two grat powers already, I just give Tripoli to them.

Our country inks a few deals.

The UK lets go of the war and we acquire some Egyptian lands.

Just a recommendation, the first thing you should have done was take the dumyat region from Egypt so no one will try to sphere it. I'm impressed that you stuck with this game, I would have given up after the first war with Russia.
 
Looks like the sick man is suffering from a severe case of epilepsy :p

Indeed, lets hope he make it through this Russian barrage.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Not to make any excuses but the last time I played Victoria was Christmas of 2010. This is my first attempt at AHD. I got excited because vacation started and wanted to churn out an AAR. I should have tooled around a bit to have better outcomes. But in history everyone has set backs so I guess this makes it a bit more realistic and true to the sick man in this case.
 
Both fronts were looking rough against the Russians. Sheer numbers proved to be their only strength. Most engagements I won, but they had many more divisions spread out capturing much of my territory. Eventually, war exhaustion went over 50%. Our forces did a brave job, but to keep militancy down, we will give Kars to the Russians.

My infamy is down below 5%. Many nations offer me alliances and I take a few. Just many of my past defensive wars I have had no help.
v2_3-4.jpg


Well, if I can't beat the Czar with numbers, maybe we can out smart him?
v2_4-4.jpg

v2_5-4.jpg


Then again, it looks like the Russians might have some special powers on their side...

At this rate in education, we will find a cure for cancer in no time
v2_7-3.jpg


The NGF asked to be my Ally and I take it. Now I just hope my allies will back me up against Russia.
v2_8-4.jpg


The war drums are beating again.
v2_9-4.jpg


If Russia messes with us and my allies come to my aid, I will have some safe flanks.
v2_10-4.jpg
 
Since things are a bit calm and we have many allies to scare off Russia, we will continue with reclaiming lands in Syria.
v2_11-4.jpg

v2_12-4.jpg


The UK wants in on the action so I collaborate with them. I take Syria and they take the Sinai.
v2_13-4.jpg

v2_14-4.jpg


We add a wargoal to take more land because Egypt is weak.
v2_15-3.jpg

v2_23.jpg

v2_24.jpg


A volcano has erupted, only a matter of time before we are dragged in.
v2_25.jpg


I will not take this. I still think I can take back Kars from them when they get distracted.
v2_26.jpg


Well, here it is, our fate has arrived. We will side with the NGF
v2_27.jpg


We handle Russia(France's ally) for a bit, but we mobilize to handle their numbers.
