New spl AAR! Great! I like the period, let's see if you can do better than Napoleon

I should as long as Russia doesn't use the Scorched Earth option!

 

[Tuy]

This AAR looks very interesting. I'll definitely be following. The slightly darker blue of Revolutionary France looks nice.

 

[Eber]

I'm excited for this AAR!

 

[EUROO7]

Yay, a revolutionary AAR.

My favorite!

 

[The Wookiee]

Vive la (revolutionary) France! Go on spl, get 'em!

 

[robou]

Good start, you have plenty of forces there!

 

[Qorten]

Should be interesting. Plenty of forces to start with. I'd say disbanding the HRE shouldn't be that big a problem. Invading Russia and defeating the British navy however...

 

[comagoosie]

:rofl:

Yup, you were right spl this is a unique AAR

Now let's see how good you are with not a starting 1 province nation.

 

[Enewald]

I once tried playing revolutionary France... but IN shall bring some new oddities, like WAR EXHAUSTION!
Shall be hard.
Very hard.

 

[cocodtim]

Vive le France!

 

[Milites]

Pour la patrie!

A fresh revolutionary breeze is blowing over Europe..

 

[Woody Man]

Vive La France!

*Subscribed*!

Vive les mathématiques!

 

[unmerged(61606)]

At the risk of sounding exactly like every other poster here:

Vive la Révolution!

Is it the National Convention ruling France right now? I hope so, that Robespierre was a very interesting person. Good luck spreading the Revolutionary ideals, and I expect to see Frenchmen in Paris by 1800.

The Spanish Campaign​

Summer 1794, 200,000 guards of the Revolution lined up at the Spanish border behind the Pyrenees Mountains, the force consisted of the army of Brittany, Foix, Provence, and Armagnac.

Meanwhile, the armies of Burgundy, Lorraine, and Calais lined up at the Austrian border to keep them from advancing into France.

Portugal and Bavaria had become our allies earlier, and they both supported us against Spain and Austria.

In a preemptive strike against Austria, the Army of Calais attacked an Austrian army in Vlaanderen and the first battle of the revolution was a crushing defeat for the foes of the Revolution.

By the end of June the the armies had seized control of the Pyrenees Mountains and prepared to make a push into the Spanish Heartland.

In July some much needed manpower comes in to play.
​

Somehow, there were only 10,000 Spanish soldiers in Spain, it seemed they were more determined to fight the United States off of their American possessions.

Tiny Spanish forts fell one by one, the assault was moving along quickly.

A picture of Spain in October. ​

Before December ended, all of Spain had fallen to either French or Portuguese soldiers.

The assault on Spain took only six months, the Austrians won't roll over so easily though.


To keep the Spanish patriots from retaking Spain a mercenary force was recruited to keep the peace.
The army of Spain consisted of 6,00 calvary, 18,000 infantry, and 1,000 artillery and was under the command of Jean B. Jourdan.

That was quite an easy campaign!

Vive les mathématiques!

Hehe, I just noticed that...%!^! public schooling! Summa Cum Laude my ass...

 

[Capibara]

Don't subestimate the Spanish Rebels! They can be quite annoying. But certainly, it was an easy campaign. Let's see how you do against Austria.

 

[unmerged(59077)]

Yeah but the Spanish war isn't over yet. There's probably completely unconquerable colonies to fight over...
