As some of you asked for mercy i will send my AAR in parts. I´m now several days away from home... so you can expect the following parts on Monday. Ok here we go...
The Royal Flash of Habsburg
Preface
Some years ago I played a board game named “Empires in arms” very similar to EU2. Already at that time it was to be played my desire this play once on PC. 2 months ago I discovered by coincidence EU2. Although turned based strategy games like the entire tank general (allied general) series, where I participate also in Ladder games, are my favourite games, EU2 is however the best and most complex strategy game which I ever became acquainted with. It is like a drug once starting a game you cant stop anymore. Accordingly much I slept the past weeks.
After a short test play I started a large campaign. Although my native language is not English I would like to try a good AAR to write in order to share realizations and experiences with other fans. It will become surely no certain style direction. Rather a mixture of several variants. I will concentrate on events happening in Europe or concerning European nations at least. Also a small additional Story beside the main Story will be included. I choose Austria to play because on the one hand it’s my homeland and on the other hand in the heart of Europe lie must be played very diplomatically.
I did not play it by any means perfectly, since it was my first campaign and I still had to learn. Here also many thanks to this great Community, which is always fast with tips and assistance confessed to me to the side. With the pictures stored at care2 it’s a strange thing, as sometimes it doesn’t work showing only “oops” or just fractures. But I think it’s only a matter of connection. Normally it should work well. Ok so let’s start… as if to say let the game run and have fun….

Personal Notes
In view of the fact that Austria was neither military nor economically strong enough alone to exist I was on the search for a reliable, strong alliance partner. This should rule also in range of my first strategic goals. (Venetia, Genoa) I selected Bavaria which agreed only after some gifts to an alliance. In the course of the play Bavaria proved as reliable alliance partner, sending frequently their armies to our support. A couple of wars sparked all over Europe and the remainder of the world. Many smaller countries disappeared from the scene. Some of them developed however at a later time again. During the first phase Poland, Brittany, Sweden, Burgundy, Hungary were particularly successful. France was surprisingly weak and even lost some provinces to Brittany.

Friedrich V (27th November 1457 - 21st August 1493): (The Strategist)
Personal Notes
Austria run into the first inadvertent war as Bavaria declared war on Hungary. At first in the defensive things turned after the decisive battle in Ostmark. Still to it further nations declared war on Hungary. Hungary lost the war and some provinces, which was relatively unnecessary as Austria inherited Hungary in 1526 anyway. In this period with strong trading nations, such as France and Portugal also with Spain and Holland, trade agreements were met.
A CB against Genoa was used to attack their ally Modena. In the same manner we declared war on Venice to take action against the actual goals Bosnia and the papal state. It was a hard combat, which was finally won only with the help of Bavaria. In the midst of the critical phase also Poland with its allied Bohemia and Hanover declared war on our alliance. To calm this alliance it required the excellent diplomatic abilities of Friedrich V.
Further advancing Poland, Brittany and above all Burgundy continued to increase.

Military facts
A 40k strong Hungarian army besieged Ostmarch. Austria had only a 10k army in Austria. Other armies were scattered in the whole country. I decided therefore to wait for and hoped that Ostmarch the Hungarian attacks withstands. 3 months later Austria had a powerful army. (25k Inf+15k Cav.) This attacked Hungary against their expectations not from Austria over the Danube, but after a forced march from Ansbach. (Because of the penalty attacking over a river) Totally surprised Hungarian forces withdrew and were completely reamed by persuiting cavalry.
In the war against Modena Austria got a lesson in modern warfare and lost 2 field battles against a technically superior opponent in Apulia. Reserve units from Tyrol however could turn the situation to our favour. In the 3 war of this period one decisive field battle could be won against the papal state in the Lombardi. (35 ag 28 k). Only military courage drop was that a siege army with 40 cannons was completely destroyed and Tyrol fell into Venice hands as I had mobilized all forces for the field battle in the Lombardi. With the help of Bavaria Tyrol could be released however soon again from their hands.

Maximilian I. harvested the fruits of its predecessor. Bosnia and the papal state became our Vassals. He was also founder of the 1st Austrian monopoly.

Friedrich V (27th November 1457 - 21st August 1493): (The Strategist)
Personal Notes
Austria run into the first inadvertent war as Bavaria declared war on Hungary. At first in the defensive things turned after the decisive battle in Ostmark. Still to it further nations declared war on Hungary. Hungary lost the war and some provinces, which was relatively unnecessary as Austria inherited Hungary in 1526 anyway. In this period with strong trading nations, such as France and Portugal also with Spain and Holland, trade agreements were met.
A CB against Genoa was used to attack their ally Modena. In the same manner we declared war on Venice to take action against the actual goals Bosnia and the papal state. It was a hard combat, which was finally won only with the help of Bavaria. In the midst of the critical phase also Poland with its allied Bohemia and Hanover declared war on our alliance. To calm this alliance it required the excellent diplomatic abilities of Friedrich V.
Further advancing Poland, Brittany and above all Burgundy continued to increase.

Military facts
A 40k strong Hungarian army besieged Ostmarch. Austria had only a 10k army in Austria. Other armies were scattered in the whole country. I decided therefore to wait for and hoped that Ostmarch the Hungarian attacks withstands. 3 months later Austria had a powerful army. (25k Inf+15k Cav.) This attacked Hungary against their expectations not from Austria over the Danube, but after a forced march from Ansbach. (Because of the penalty attacking over a river) Totally surprised Hungarian forces withdrew and were completely reamed by persuiting cavalry.
In the war against Modena Austria got a lesson in modern warfare and lost 2 field battles against a technically superior opponent in Apulia. Reserve units from Tyrol however could turn the situation to our favour. In the 3 war of this period one decisive field battle could be won against the papal state in the Lombardi. (35 ag 28 k). Only military courage drop was that a siege army with 40 cannons was completely destroyed and Tyrol fell into Venice hands as I had mobilized all forces for the field battle in the Lombardi. With the help of Bavaria Tyrol could be released however soon again from their hands.

Personal Notes
Maximilian I. harvested the fruits of its predecessor. Bosnia and the papal state became our Vassals. He was also founder of the 1st Austrian monopoly.
