We interrupt your regular program for this emergency broadcast.
Do not weep, maiden, for war is kind.
Because your lover threw wild hands toward the sky
And the affrighted steed ran on alone,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
Hoarse, booming drums of the regiment,
Little souls who thirst for fight,
These men were born to drill and die.
The unexplained glory flies above them,
Great is the battle-god, great, and his kingdom --
A field where a thousand corpses lie.

War has erupted. Ottoman and Austria later joined on the side of France. Preliminary reports are few and in between but early reports indicating France has been surrounded. Both France and Prussia has mobilized more than 1/2 million man for their effort. Spain tried to join on the spoil and mobilized about 150K troops.
Austria alone has already lost 100K troops to lag. Ottoman and Russia has both placed over 500K troops facing each other at balkan and caucus region with fierce fighting reported. It is estimated perhaps around 3,000,000 troops have been mobilized and being committed to battle as we speak. Stay tuned.
The year is 1851, the war to end all war has begun. Perhaps it's the war that will start all wars, like one player comment during another crash/recess.
