41 russians...
Strange events of a different sort...
In my recent conquest as France (yes I know ridiculously easy country, but I hadn't played them yet and didn't realize that at the time)I decided to take scandinavia from the swedes and the russians (denmark was long annexed). I fought a VERY long war with the swedes, since the swedes were the only country smart enough to build large fortresses to stop the raging french war monger. After finally annexing them I began work on the russians and got them down to one province, Ostenladt. Since the russians stole the province from the swedes, it had a level 5 fortress. So I land an army of 150k with 300 cannons and proceed to assault....
The assault proceeded to knock the russian garrison down to 41 men who then somehow managed to break the moral of my now 125k army. This in itself wasn't too bizarre since the army had been assaulting for quite sometime. So I let the armies moral rise back to invincible and tried again...
French losses: 40k
Russian losses: none
Those 41 men held off a 125k army with invincible moral...So I landed more troops and tried again...Still not one russian man fell...This went on for almost a year of seiging and assaulting and still no russians had died. It wasn't until winter began again that the russians were finally slaughtered..
Now how did those 41 russian men hold off 125k?
Russians: Go away you french pigs or I shall taunt you a second time! (begins throwing pigs, geese and borsht over the walls, all the ammo having been used up months ago)
The french, horrified by the viciousness of the russian taunting, fled into the hills screaming "Run away Run away! Keep Running!"
