the 3rd German Campaign

And so here we are again fighting the Germans. At the time that the war started I had three armies in position with a forth on the way. As I mentioned before my goal is to break the South German states, so that once the real war begins with Prussia, then we won’t have any trouble with the other German states.

After one month, the plan had evolved into a race between the 1r Cavallerie and the 3e Cavallerie to wipe out the Bavarians. Meanwhile the 4e Cavallerie was instructed to capture the capitals of Baden, and Würtemburg in order to force those two states to surrender. The 5e Cavallerie is on it’s way, and when it arrives it will be responsible for any other little states that are left.

By December 2, 1846, only two months into the war, the Germans were starting to crumble.

Meanwhile however the 1r and 3e Cavalleries were making progress in northern Bavaria, but the progress was very slow.

More good news came with the surrender of Würtemburg

This allowed the 4e Cavallerie to join in the attack against Bavaria, and things quickly turned into a rout.

By January of the next year Bavaria only had two provinces left, and was ready to talk peace.

The peace terms reduced Bavaria to three provinces, and with that the Belgians ended the 3rd German Campaign

I should say that you got far farther into Germany than I did in my Netherlands game! Now, you shall annex Prussia :D .

I can't believe how far you've gotten for being so early in game to boot...

Prussia must be very concerned now with its country effectively split in two mostly. Their western portion is as good as gone. Good bye future of Germany.

Where do We Go From Here

I’d like to take this moment to address a couple of issues so that everyone knows kind of where this AAR is going. As I’ve mentioned earlier my overriding goal for the immediate future will be to do things that help the economy. So while things may appear repetitive (and they will at times) they are all part of the master plan. For instance…

My present goal is to capture the Rhineland. I want this primarily because of the large population (tax base) and the numerous factories (more money, and less factories for me to build). To achieve this goal I am planning on three wars.

1. The first war will be to weaken all the German minors so they won’t be a threat when we turn our attention to Prussia. Several minors will be left however for the future wars.
2. The next war will be against Prussia and her minor allies. I plan to capture Berlin, and 4 or 5 capitals from the minors to drive the war score up high enough to get at least half of the Rhineland. Prussia is pretty proud of the Rhineland provinces so you need a high war score. Taking advantage of the minor capitals will also alolow me to quickly drive up the war score without having to march to Memel.
3. The Last war will be to finish off the Rhineland.

After these three wars, I will turn my attention away from Europe for a while. I am leaning towards going back to Asia (of course all plans are subject to change). I have three transport squadrons allowing me to transport 3 armies for a total of 27 cavalry divisions. I have three campaigns in mind for Asia.

1. Defeat China and collect war indemnities
2. Annex Korea (huge population and resources)
3. Annex Japan (even bigger population)

From there we’ll see where we go…

But First we still need to deal with the Prussians

The Fourth German Campaign

The Fourth German Campaign was destined to be a rather smooth and quick affair. The war officially started on February 25, 1847 with a declaration of war on Prussia.

feb251847thenextwarqy9.png

In Southern Germany there were three armies left over from the Third German Campaign, and in short order the capitals of all the German minor were under Belgian control. This left only Prussia to be dealt with.

The Prussians left only a single division to defend the Rhineland, and this division was basically ignored by the Belgians as they focused on capturing the key provinces.

march91847rhinelandpo3.png

In the east, the Belgians would need to deal with the Prussian military, but only a little. The Belgians only had one army operating in the area, and it was sent towards Berlin. The Prussians spread their troops out along the entire border while, the Belgians concentrated theirs into one army. My hope is to capture Berlin, and bring the war to an end before the individual Prussian divisions can make any impact.

feb281847warinprussiahl7.png

On March 18, 1847 the 2e Cavallerie arrived at Berlin and the battle began (it didn’t really last long either).

march181847berlinjw7.png

By April Berlin was occupied, and the Belgian 2e Cavallerie was looking to capture other provinces while the Prussians just ran around in circles…

apr51847prussiavt9.png

On April 8, 1847, the Prussians sent a peace offering. It wasn’t necessarily what I wanted (it also included New Guinea), but since the war had only lasted a month and a half and they were offering 11 provinces, I considered it a success.

april81847peacewithprusuj2.png

But looking at the new map of Belgium, I can’t help think that those borders are getting uglier. Oh well, maybe in the next war…

Oh yeah, I thought I might post this little tidbit. Nothing serious, but for some reason it always irritates me when someone (besides me) goes after Krakow or Montenegro.

While the Fourth German Campaign proved to be a rather simple affair, the Fifth German Campaign would not be so easy. I decided that since this was going to be the last European campaign for a while, I want to clear up a lot of loose ends, so here are the goals...

1. Capture the rest of the Rhineland
2. Get war indemnities from Austria
3. Annex the minors (that should really help with our factories)

Annexing the minors means that I won't be able to use their capitals to drive up the war sconre, and I'll have to do it the old fashioned way by capturing Prussian provinces.

Myeh, ugly borders don't repulse me... much. There a sort of "work in progress" thing. The uglier the borders are now, the better they'll be in the end (of course in the process of cleaning those borders, inevitably more ugly borders are created...)

Nice AAR by the way, I'm learning stuff here (just a bit mind)
