The second war of Naval Agression
After the success of the first war where they ripped France of four provinces. The naval alliance of Spain, England and Portugal. Luckily this time the ottoman Empire saw the danger of another win of the wealthy pigs and joined France to help against the agression.
Another war of the wealthy pigs against France, only this time France wasn't distracted by a war against Austria and Ottoman Emprie came to my help
Initially Spain overran Italy while Portugal attack Holland. After the initial succes of the aggressors they were slowly driven back as reinforcements could be send to the right place and the ottomans could send in their reinforcements. As the situation Italy was turned around the first probes into the iberian peninsula were made. Resistance was heavy in the beginning but as field marshal de Broglie pushed oin Spanish resistance weakened, his major feat ws the battle of Valencia beating a 150k combined Portuguees-Spanish army with only 70k. Soon after that Madrid was taken after which Portugal was next. Soon the naval alliance came to its senses and Spain ceded Lomabardia to France.
In the colonies, despite valliant efforts by the armies there, England was superior and could slowly take control of Canada.Portugal tried to take over Holland, but after initial succes of the huge army stack it could slowly be pushed back.

Look Henry. FAL played well and according to our plans. You could not have done much different, of that I am sure. If POR would have been AI it would have been a peaceful session unless we had been DOWed and we wanted war. Heck, the SPA general staff had spent 2 hours writing a 2 page war plan. Of course we had to get a sub. Make sure you get a sub you can rely upon next time and do not blame us.
The main fault lie in our strategy a year into the war. At that moment we had a super score (+90s?) and everything went according to plan. I had Liguria, Modena and one other province controlled in Italy, we had most of Holland and some more. We should have stab hitted them at that moment. We waited for SGA to take his province but it took to long time. We should have stab hitted anyway, I guess SGA had at least some province to get. We were to little flexible at that time. The high morality of the joint chief of staff had not planned for stab hits. But we have now learned the trade of war North of the Pyrenées. Instead they skilfully focused on me and succeeded in getting a 100k OE troups into Italy where I probably could have had an even fight with FRA - my extra manpower vs his experience in battle should give an even fight. We should have put a 200 fleet around Italy and sunk the OE fleet before it unloaded into Italy.
I shifted many of my men to Italy to try and control the situation which I succeeded in to some extent but Iron then instead rolled up my Iberian defence and I was stabhitted. I took around 7-8 stab hits I think. I could manage the stab quite well but not the rebs popping up everywhere (because of the revolt check when stab hitted) and had to peace.
There were indeed some lessons to learn.

Yeah, that Valencia battle was bad. I had somethin like 90/5/300 coming down from Madrid where FAL already had a 100k army battling your 77k. Then you had 40 more coming in from the North and we lost... Perhaps my army arrived to late when POR was so low on moral that our combined moral became too low.
I would have done less shouting if you would have listened more fastly and not send your armies in certain deathLord Ederon said:Yes, Seen was shouting on me all the time
Now that nappy times are ahead, i think people should be allowed to try to gain dominance. So , all the rules that should keep "balance" should be cancelled.
I was thinking of this rule in particular:
2. Regarding losing provinces in peace treaties to other human players or AI vassals of human players, the rule is: for all wars that a nation is involved in at one exact moment this nation can lose at most provinces worth up to 8 points, where
COT/GOLD province in Europe/Asia = 4p
Other province in Europe/Asia = 2p
COT/Gold province outside this area = 2p
Other province outside this are = 1
IMO there should be no limit anymore. I realise this will hurt most of the time, but endgame is near, and apocalypse is now

Did Porto take an inflation boost because Joohoo didn't turn up?
Looking at the war, it seems nothing much could be done but hey. Also...

It appears that POR sadly has deserted the Naval Alliance or do I misunderstand this new NAP between POR and FRA?
