Well, if it makes you feel any better, I do all my writing and posting while I'm at work, so together none of us are getting anything accomplished. :D

At least I don't play the game at work ;)

And yet the average American worker continues to increase in overall productivity. I for one am glad someone out there is pulling my weight.

Sixth German Campaign, part 2

It’s been a little while since the last update, so I’ll make this one just a short little catch up.

We are at present engaged in the Sixth German Campaign, or Third Italian Campaign depending on your point of view. The war consists of Belgium attacking Austria and Prussia in an effort to connect her Italian holdings with the rest of greater Belgium.

In Austria the Belgians have around four armies operating against about six Austrian divisions.

In Prussia the Belgians are sending three armies against five divisions. (Hey, No one said it would be a fair fight).

march161855prussiarp4.png

The Belgian border was dangerously close to Wein, so it should come as no surprise that the Belgians were soon on the very outskirts of the Austrian capital.

It appears that this war is quickly turning into a rout. The only issues now becomes getting the right peace deal.

Soon, the world might want to consider that the only lasting peace with Belgium is annexation.

he pounded the Netherlands first, which is simple...

then he pounded the French while they weren't expecting it, which is pretty easy... then he took land in asia and such...

by the time he was fighting Prussia he was strong enough to destroy them...

Exactly how he did such a thing... well... he's a hell of a lot more agressive than I am

So in essence, he timed everything well.

Pretty soon his state culture isn't going to show up on any pie charts.

The Sixth German Campaign, part 3

Returning back to the war with Austria and Prussia, we find that Prussia is definitely on the defensive.

apr161855gainsinprussiaey8.png

With Berlin fallen Prussia can’t call up her reserves meaning that she only has 5 divisions to face Belgium’s 25 cavalry divisions.

apr241855austriaws4.png

In north Austria we find more enemy troops, but still the Belgians have fought their way to the enemy capital, forcing the Austrians to again sue for peace.

apr251855austrianswantpoq3.png

Peace would be nice, but unfortunately it is still not enough. My goals are to take all of the Italian lands from Austria plus some good gains against Prussia (anything from Prussia, I’m not too particular at this point). So we continue on with the war, and by mid May the Prussians are all but defeated, and soon it will just be a matter of occupying enough lands to get a good peace deal.

may21855prussiafallinguo4.png

In Austria meanwhile the Austrians have mounted a stronger defense of Wein than was originally expected.

may21855weinox0.png

At this point the strength of cavalry units is decreasing, and we are no longer able to win against a larger force of entrenched infantry. Additional troops will need to be called up from the south to help capture the Austrian capital.
