Military strength must be posted in thread unless you are exempted from the rule by a pm from me (for secret units...but it's impossible to keep warships secret). Forgot to remove malus, yes. Icu, your people are getting pretty pissed that you continue a war they think is already lost.

Well then do something about it you cowardly swine. Christ, Russia was hit crazy hard by the nobility flight, but you all just sat around and let the gigantic monster modernize.

Putting him on trial is just roleplay nothingness. The result of the trial will be: -Execution -Abdication & Letting him live in some French chateu out in the middle of nowhere -Exile So, pretty much the same options on the random event. --- Budget is reset btw, and armies reinforced.

British-American War http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9ehcpw_DpE&feature=related The war in North America opened up in winter of 1790 with an attack by the American Tea Brigade and Revolutionary army in an attempt to destroy the previously beaten combined British Redcoat and Colonial armies. The British, under General Chapman, had decided as well that the British would fight, and ordered the army to turn around and attack. The Battle of Pittsburgh, September 13th, 1790 British Strength: General Chapman (Inf. Commander) Colonial Army 0/10,000 Line infantry 0/2,000 Fusilers 5/10 Cannons 1,000/2,000 Lancers 1,000/3,000 Skirmishers 4,000/5,000 Dragoons Redcoats 5,000 Line infantry 1,000/2,000 Fusilers 10 Cannons 1,000 Hussars 2,000 Lancers 1,000/2,000 Grenadiers Total Strength: 16,000 men + 15 cannons American Strength: Revolutionary Army: General Gudyer & General Banks 0/1,000 line infantry 0/4,000 skirmishers 0/5000 Fusiliers 0/2,000 dragoons 1000/2000 Hussars 0/3 cannon Tea Brigade: General Banks 1000 Imperial Guard 5000 Fusiliers 2000 Grenadiers 2000 Hussars 3000 Lancers 6100/9100 Line Infantry 1500/2500 Skirmishers 3/4 cannon Total Strength: 20,600 men + 3 cannon Both sides troops were weary from more than two years of campaigning, and there were still grumblings about the loss of Jefferson on the American side, but General Guyder reined in his troops quickly, and formed them into battle lines. The sky was clear, which bode ill for the Americans, as the British had superior numbers of artillery, but luckily for the American troops, it was the British who decided to attack. The move perplexed General Guyder, as his men outnumbered the British, but he chuckled as it seemed that luck was with the Americans. However, he wisely decided to pull his paltry 3 cannon out of range of the British artillery range, and keep them for when the British infantry advanced. Just after General Guyder had formed his men up, the battle truly started as the British Army of the Redcoat charged. It seemed like something out of the medieval era, as they simply rushed headlong at the American line, who responded with calm musket volleys up and down the lines. 2000 British lancers and hussars circled around the left flank of the American line, and General Guyder responded with 3000 of his own lancers, who crashed into the British cavalry with tremendous force. But the battle did not halt to watch over the cavalry duel, and the Redcoats were still charging, though taking horrendous casualties for the move. Finally, they broke off their attack and ran, and Guyder threw the rest of his cavalry force into action, his 3000 Hussars who charged into the rear of the retreating British army and cut down even more than the American infantry killed. The cavalry duel on the American left flank had ended as well, as the British cavalry was forced to retreat since the British infantry had withdrawn. The American hussars pulled back as the British Colonial army (which was now pretty much only 5,000 cavalry after such a brutal campaign years previous) attacked them. It seemed that the Americans were well on their way to losing the battle, and while the British morale was wavering from their ill planned and horrible charge the American line lurched forward on Guyders orders, intent on pressing the attack and finishing the British armies once and for all. The American armies closed in on the British, and even the superior British cannon didnt slow their progress (though it did dent it), and American muskets started dropping British redcoats like flies. The British cavalry managed to make some headway against the Americans, due to their number superiority, but whenever the closed on the advancing American infantry they were driven away by a rush of musket volleys. It seemed that the Americans were on the cusp of victory, but off in the distance behind the American lines came a single trumpet that peeled out across the landscape, barely noticeable except to the British commanders ears. The British Royal Army had arrived on the field. Royal Army - General Jimmington - Disciplinarian 4,000 Imperial Guards 2,000 Fusilers 3,000 Cuirassiers It was not a large force, but it was undoubtedly one of the most professional in the British armed forces. British Imperial Guardsmen flooded onto the field, easily outmatching the American rearguard, who crumpled and fled. The American line was caught in an odd panic, as it knew not what to do. In front of them was the remains of the British Redcoat and Colonial Army, and behind the British Royal Army. General Guyder decided it was time to cast the die, and ordered the full charge. Bayonets were fixed even as the Royal army closed in on the Americans from behind, and the Americans flung themselves on the British Colonial and Redcoat armys lines. Guyder hoped he could turn the thin line into a rout quickly, then wheel his army and face the oncoming Royal Army, but the British had enough morale to hang on somehow. Both sides crashed together, and the British somehow held. From behind crashed in the Royal army, cuirassiers and imperial guardsmen stabbing and slashing the American army; it was a massacre. As the sun dropped behind the horizon on September 13th, it cast long shadows across the remains of the British Colonial and Redcoat armies, as well as the American Revolutionary army and Tea Brigade. Only the British Royal Army still stood strong, flying full colours. General Guyder had managed to extract a paltry few of his army from the attack, mostly his swift hussars and lancers who fled the field pursued by Cuiriassiers of the British Royal Army, and his imperial guard who hacked a way out of the fighting. Result: Tactical Victory: Britian Strategic Victory: None, since losses for both sides were so appalling Casualties: Great Britain: 1,000 lancers, 3,000 dragoons, 5000 line infantry, 1000 fusiliers, 2000 lancers, 1000 grenadiers Total losses: 13,000 men United States of America: 2000 Hussars, 500 Imperial Guard, 4000 Fusiliers, 2000 grenadiers, 6100 line infantry, 1500 skirmishers, 3 cannon (WILL NOT BE REPLACED, CAPTURED BY BRITISH), 2000 lancers Total losses: 16,100 men + 3 cannon Canadian Front: The American Coffee Brigade fared much better than their counterparts in the South, marching around the Great Lakes and capturing swaths of British territory. And finally, the big hit for Britain: A new country entered the fray in Winter of 1790. As the might of Britain, both naval and land, was overseas in the Americas, the Portuguese navy coasted easily along the British Isles and unloaded over 20,000 men in an invasion of England. With no regular military forces available to oppose the Portugese armies, most towns surrendered easily. However, London managed to scrape together 4,000 men for the defense, and is currently under siege by the Portuguese forces.

I already said no. You can't use examples of technology being introduced before it was actually produced/accepted in the world and say 'See look, it exists so I can use it!', because technically steam power was invented in ancient times. Make a decision on Louis.

He may have, but he hasn't actually gotten it. -- Updates: France: -Imperial French Army leaves Versailles to attack Paris -Arrive, attack the Revolutionary Army inside Paris -Revolutionary General lets them into the city as a trap, surrounds the Imperial Army in the narrow streets -Imperial Army takes horrendous casualties, begins to retreat -Revolutionary cavalry breaks out of the city and pursues -Imperial Army routs -King Louis XVI captured when his carriage his a big stone in the road and topples over Poland: Russian Imperial Army continues their siege, citizens and soldiers in Warsaw begin to starve from lack of food. Around 6,000 dead soldiers (mostly the troops the nobles have raised), more will likely come. (Doing up battle report in NA - budget will be reset after this battle)

Poland tells you to go [bleep] yourself, slimy Russian peasant queen. Because they were phased like a week apart, and I figured that the General's of the armies would prefer to be close enough to respond to one another in case something happens. I suppose if you like I could redo the battle so that the Colonial army is caught a week ahead of the Redcoats and surrounded and destroyed.

Oh, at first I thought that was that protest in Denmark about some cartoon where they threatened to kill the artists. OWAIT. :grin: Yup. Then the Mongols zerged into the Arab world and burned Baghdad and burned everything in its libraries, thus sending Islam back 500 years.
