To All: I know it has only been 4 days since the last update, but since the last week was so disrupted by snow, I got off schedual, and now intend to get back on it, updating on the customary saturday or sunday. Hope this momentary change doesn't cause any hassle. Also, I didn't like the last update, so writing a new one might get it out of harms way. Update later today.
comagoosie: The most important words in that sentance are 'for now'. Austria has crossed the line getting me worried, and the Emperor will have to pay for his insolence, but being Careful, I must choose a time both when Austria is weak and I have a
casus belli that won't get France and Britain on my back.
Director: The French have obviously learnt their lesson, and won't be rash as to go wading in on their own. All it takes is from Germany to provoke Britain, or get into a war with Russia and alliances will follow. As for Russia, I will not act in haste, and will wait to see just what the Russians are up to. I will let them come to me, just like with the French. Perhaps it is playing with fire doing the same thing with both of them...
demokratickid: I could do without having to worry about Poland, but their provinces are just too nice and populous to give up. Like I said before, in the future, a fair number of my troops are likely to be Polish.
canonized: Yes, it is just the waiting to see who exactly will be the firelighter. This will make November 5th look like a picnic.
Kampf_Machen: Great to have you along. Also, if you spot any mistakes in my German, don't hesistate to tell me.
Enewald: I promised to avert war for a period, and I am sticking to it. I only joined the war against Kraków because I accidently pressed yes. Then again, being Alliance leader, I got to milk the prestige from Kraków when peace was made
ComradeOm: Well it is that old thing about central Europe. You can attack anywhere you please, but you can also be attacked from any direction. It is as much a weakness as it is a strength. However, once I get consolidated, I will be doing the attacking, I hope.
