Archi, the imperials are very broke. Say they went back on a deal with you.

Focus on another enemy, create an internal evil for the people to rally against.

Do it quickly.

[archimage_a]

If it were that simple then I would...but I am playing by honour, and if they leads to the destruction of my country then so be it....Prefer to die off now than sell out on roleplaying.

 

Other enemies that are revolutionary include...Spain, Portugal and Russia...Denmark is the only other country to fight, but that poses no great victory of reasonableness over the revolutionary...nor does it provide the ability to get around a table and sign a peace deal with the rebels to preserve the stability of the country.

 

So the actual point of such a war is non existant.

 

Internal Evil such as what exactly? Prussia is, by its nature, the most stable country at the moment...inventing some phantom evil is gonna backfire...Might as well pyrically die defending Imperial France.

 

 

 

 

So I am safe in the knowladge that, if Russia and Spain attack, I am reasonably prepared for a war that I can defend against until my motives are plain to see, at which point hopefully peace can be re-established and no one gets kicked out of the game.

 

If you have indeed got Austria on your side, then I am safe in the knowladge that there is nothing I can do to defend myself, thus will get killed for standing while I had the chance to fight.

 

Since an Austria-Russian alliance will mean that I can do very little from now on if one of them disapprove, and since I don't have a habit of tratiously asking people to betray people...Nor would I trust Edel...it would remain like that until the game ended, most probably.

 

Thus, with me roleplaying, and everyone else having a total lack of willingness to give any ground, I am forced into a taking a low odds gamble or walking away from the table...and since I am only risking my seat at the table, I might as well take the gamble.

[jasignhagj]

I'll have to think about the offer. Spain asks for an official ceasefire until a decision is reached.

[Icuownage]

Between Spain and Britain or between America Spain and Britain?

[Retech]

Empress Catherine the Great scoffs at the size of Britain's puny army. (On the forum)

[Icuownage]

Britain scoffs at the size of Russia's navy, they then state that Russian troops are of lower quality to the British.

[Retech]

Russia notes that with the reformation and the uproot of the nobles, it is possible that is not true anymore. Finally, Russia has ten more cannon. :thumbup:

[Icuownage]

Truthfully, I had a huge military list ready of what I was going to buy, worked it all out, then realised "Oh crap I forgot the research!" So I lost 10 million worth of troops, then I was like "Oh crap! Deployment!" So yeah :P I would have 10 more cannons and 1000 more fusilers and 1000 more of the expensive calvalry, but I hasn't got the money.

 

I also originally planned to increase my navy, with the new three deck ships, but that'll wait till next budget.

 

Oh yeah, what is your army size, I've never seen it posted on the forum :S.

[Retech]

I've already subtracted research, and I always keep a fund for two deployments. :P

 

 

 

Cuirassiers?

[Icuownage]

Yes them.

 

Anyway, what is the size of your almighty army then?

[Retech]

All I will say is, larger than yours. :P

[Icuownage]

Oh.

 

Though I thought you had to post armies on the forum, that is the only reason I've been doing it O-o.

[Retech]

Well if Dusty makes it a rule and we start posting our armies, then I will post my army.

[Nero]

You do. I've just been forgetful in transfering PM posts to the forum.

 

Update: Revolutionaries burn more villages in Northern France (Normandy) for no apparent reason, turning the local populations against them.

-Rev. France loses 1 province in Northern France from the list of revolutionary influenced provinces from these actions

-Denmark quashes its Revolution in the early stages

-A 12,000 strong Swedish noble army is raised, and revolts against the King of Sweden who has done abolutely nothing for the past 10+ years (if they succeed Ross is kicked from the game for inactivity)

-Prussia mobilizes its army

Only Ross can deal with this one.

Prussian invasion of Revolutionary France and the Second Battle of Versailles

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GtBll0rh4nM&feature=related

 

February 8th , 1787. Under the joint command of General Paulus and General Von Santa Klause, a Prussian army marched through the HRE and into France and attacked the Revolutionary Stronghold of Versailles. En route they were met by the remnants of the French Imperial Army who joined along side them. At Versailles stood the still not reinforced Revolutionary army, who was now facing an army double their size under capable Prussian Generals.

 

The Second Battle of Versailles, February 8th, 1787

 

Revolutionary France - General Virieu (Defensive Doctrine)

5,000/7,000 Revolutionary guard (Young Guard)

6,000/10,000 Mercenary Line Infantry

1,000/3,000 Cuirassier

500/1,000 Skirmishers

20 Cannon

4500/5000 Polish Lancers (General Gryzbow)

 

Prussia – General Rommel (Cavalry commander)

3,000 Curissars

2,000 Dragoons

1,000 Lances

 

Prussia – Paulus(Fortress Breaker) /Von Santa Klause(Offensive Doctrine)

2,000 Skirmishers

2,000 Fusiliers

8,000 Line Infantry

2,000 Imperial Guards

15 Cannons

1,000 Quicklime Grenadiers

 

Imperial France – King Louis XVI (Cavalry Commander)

3,000/8,000 line infantry

4,000/8,000 fusiliers

1,000/2,000 skirmishers

500/4,000 cuirassiers

25 cannon

 

General Virieu had been camped outside Versailles and was caught by surprise by the swift Prussian attack, and had to march quickly so as to prevent the Prussians from reaching the city before his artillery was inside, and as the two (well, three) armies met on the field outside of Versailles, it became readily apparent to General Virieu that he was horridly outnumbered, and so he deployed his infantry to guard his artillery that was making its way inside the walls.

 

The Prussian and French leadership, recognizing that they had the opportunity to sting the already weakened Revolutionary army (from their battle with the Imperials the year before), began rapidly deploying their own infantry. The Prussian and French cannon had complete control of the battlefield at this point, as the Revolutionary army was hastily pulling theirs into the city, and so the cannonade began to inflict heavy damage on the revolutionary army (500 skirmishers killed, morale loss).

 

Out from the flank of the French infantry’s position came General Rommel’s cavalry brigade, forcing the French right flank into square from the threat of a cavalry charge, and the Prussian/French cannon shifted onto this position. The cannons slammed back on their carriages and ripped through the Revolutionary’s right flank. The Polish and Russian lancers were ordered to attack Rommel’s brigade but General Gryzbow refused and instead led his cavalry off the field and into Versailles, unsure of whether the Czaress even wanted him at this battle, let alone fighting in it.

 

The withdraw was further complicated even further as 1,000 Prussian grenadiers armed with quicklime charged the revolutionary line and tossed their chemical grenades into the enemy line. The quicklime grenadiers were killed in droves, but they accomplished their objective as the center of the French line began to take steps back to get outside the range of the quicklime’s effects. Prussian and French line infantry seized on this opportunity and began to advance, peppering the withdrawing French center (held by the Revolutionary’s Young Guard) with musket fire.

 

On the Revolutionary’s left flank came the Prussian Imperial Guard, easily driving back the mercenary line infantry that stood against them. The Revolutionary line was close to breaking, but thankfully for General Virieu his last artillery piece had managed to get inside the wall, and so he ordered his men back in good order. The Revolutionaries obeyed part of that order, running like mad in through the gates of the city, pursued by General Rommel’s cavalry brigade that slashed and cut at the mob that made its way through the gates. The only battalions that managed to maintain a semblance of order were the Young Guards, who took significantly less casualties because of it.

 

Eventually those inside closed the gates on the last revolutionaries (who were promptly slaughtered or captured by Rommel’s brigade before the cavalry was driven off by musket fire from the walls).

 

At that point, General Paulus (Fortress Breaker) took over command of the joint Prussia/Imperial French army, and is leading the siege of Versailles. A breach is predicted to be ready for assault in 3 months (12 hours irl).

 

Result:

Tactical Victory: Prussia/Imperial France

Strategic Victory: None

 

Casualties:

Prussia:

1,000 Quicklime Grenadiers

500 Line infantry

500 Dragoons

 

Imperial France:

300 Skirmishers

 

Revolutionary France:

2,000 Mercenary Line infantry

1,000 Young Guard

500 Skirmishers

[Retech]

The Polish lancers had already withdrawn. They're part of the Polish armies already. (As evidenced by the fact that I added them to my armies, rather than as "expeditionary force")

[jasignhagj]

Prussia, we are giving you an ultimatum. Back down now or face war with Spain and Russia.

 

ICU, I accept your peace terms.

 

New map.

 

Spain colonizes provinces in Africa, S. America and N. America. Spain also designates 5 provinces as the Native American Free State. Native Americans will be able to continue their traditional lifestyles in this country, or move to Spain and enjoy a modern lifestyle. Natives are also given full citizen status should they choose to live in Spain.

It won't post for some reason...

[Retech]

Russia mobilises its armies, in preparation for the struggle.

 

Archi, whyyyyyyyyy? Not withdrawing doesn't mean attacking. :(

[archimage_a]

In celebration of the Second Battle of Versaillies, an artistic rendering has been hung in the Prussian Military Academy:

 

 

_________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

I had been happy to wait it out, then you started telling me I had to get out or I would be destroyed.

 

And so WW1 starts over 100 years earlier...Germany forced into taking action it didn't want to take, because France refused to give a clear answer.

 

Anyway, now that I am committed to this siege, with the Imperial Forces of France stationed with their pistol to my temple if I retreat, only Doom can prevent this from turning into bloodbath by coming to terms with Imperial France.

[Retech]

I was under the impression that we were trying to figure out a way to allow you to leave gracefully. :blink:

 

 

 

As my forces had already withdrawn, I doubt that I will be able to get my forces to France in time. Trol, you'll have to deal with the Prussian forces in France by yourself this time. Unfortunately, my budget is strained as it is, and I won't be able to deploy my army if I want to continue my research with the same level of funding. Sorry Doom, but you're on your own for this fight. Well, hopefully you have Trol.

 

If the war is still going on in 1791, I'll get involved. That's only a week from now. ;)

[Grim_]

The Netherlands propose a mutual withdrawal in France; All of the Non French countries involved would pull their troops out of the country in a period of 18 months.
