Hehe, that's just so typical. :rofl:Absolut said:
KJ,
You know very well how things will develop when Nappy & CO spawn. This France might not be the strongest ever, but he got Wellington on his side. He got all other flanks secured but the German, well the Austrian.
And we know what land France want.
So this latest war against France was my last chance to make a real stand point towards Nappy. Two more well defended provinces would increase the odds to my favour a little atleast. But more importently, i would have lucrative provinces to negotiate with the French after a loss.
Of course everything can happen, Nappy can die a random death etc.
But if we are being realistic and stick to facts, the odds dont look very good.
You saw how my armies reacted towards Fred, with a leader (Laudon 5-5-6) well compared to Karl, the only leader i got against Napoleon. My Army was annhalited within seconds, despite same size etc. All 7-7 leaders are killers, and Austria cannot beat it with their own leaderfile. And France got two of those, including a better third leader then my best one.
And the reason why i have beated France since the wars of PE-Villars, is because of leader superiority. But i dont need to tell this to old nappy players. So i'm actually surprised that you think like that.
My last advantage is gone, i'm standing alone against Nappy, and perhaps also wellington, who knows :rofl:
And yes, this last war made me bitter. I've lost more land in Europe all together then anyone else have. Austria is the one that has been fighting every nation in this game except for Portugal. Austria was later ganged by the four most powerful land based nations in the game, about ten provinces in one go. I've lost more wars then i have won, if you count them all. Still people pity those i fight and help those i manage to beat :rofl:
If you take a look at the map the only Provinces France has ever lost was old Austrian land. Now this might not matter but It still prove the point that France is on the offensive, Austria on a slow decline. If someone made a powerpoint file ouf of this time span, the white spot replaced by the blue colour and later grey colour prove this decline.
I have no real hope to win over Nappy, frankly i'm utterly convinced that i will loose terrain. And cause of this latest war, the white spot will shrink even more. And another colour replacing it.
One more thing,
i know cheech has whined about this powerful Austria alot, and i'm aware of that the MP is a bit unbalanced in Germany compared to other places, but that doesn't remove the fact that Austria has more foes then friends. Austria got four fronts to protect while France have had one for the major part of this game. And that balance it out alot if you ask me.
And it's no secret that Austria normaly win over France after the time of Villars, cause then the Austrian leaderfile is better then the French until Nappy spawn, not much better though, but enough to give Austria an advantage. Before 1700 France won the most wars we fought, cause of the French leaderfile. And the French expanded to the Rhine adventually and got a nice piece of Italy, on expence of one nation only, Austria. The border has been the same more or less since 1700s, the French has expanded a bit more though. As we can see on todays map.
And when Austria is about to expand and take back lost land, Prussia pity France for loosing so much against Austria and decied to prohibit Austria from taking a last stand against the unavoidable doomsday.
Bitter? Oh yes i am :rofl:
And i sure dont like being so
