As I am new to this it's been suggested that I play as part of the Austria team with a more experienced player. I accept.

Also, information on the game;

Armies;
Here are the sizes of the nation's armies. I did some research to find these numbers and I will adjust the budgets according. When the game starts some nations will be in good shape financially, other nations not so much, so it be up to the individual player to decide to increase, decrease, or keep the army the same.

Yeah, I meant after my last post last night there was 3 more sign-ups besides Arjos. 4 total of course.

[Csargo]

Do you plan on making a new thread or just continuing in this one?

[King Jan III Sobieski]

Do you plan on making a new thread or just continuing in this one?

Probably in this thread. Keep the history of the game and thread alive.

[SoFarSoGood]

I shall be playing as Metternich as the former Kaiser shall be returning.

[Franconicus]

To the instruments, gentlemen, and let the concert begin.

[King Jan III Sobieski]

[Franconicus]

[Greyblades]

[SoFarSoGood]

Welcome England.... maybe.

[King Jan III Sobieski]

Chapter 1-


The year is 1842. It has been a tense few years in Europe. Wars and come and gone and there are new leaders in Europe since we last picked up. This will be another bloody era in European and World history.....


For England, the Duke is no longer Prime Minister. Sir Robert Peel is now the Prime Minister of England. England is still somewhat embarrassed it could not take the Turkish Capital over 10 years ago. It was a bright spot for them. They are now engaged in a war with China, a Opium war they call it. They are also intervening in Afghanistan at the moment, a far away nation. They tried helping Greece many moons ago and they are now independent under King Otto. However a lot of Greeks are still under Ottoman Rule. Will the England help them or turn to Asia and Europe?

France has a new leader as well. Louis Philippe They went though a rebellion some time ago and fought against England with the Turks. It started out well but lost Malta and was ruined. The attacks in Spain went well for the French though and the French destroyed their Turkish ally army in Southern Spain, killing almost 20,000 of them. They certainly have no love for the Turks. They are doing better military wise however and are a rich nation. They also have a beef with the Prussians and still owe the Austrians big time for saving them 20-30 years ago.







Prussia is led by Friedrich Wilhelm IV. They are having problems with Denmark over the Holstein question. May War brew between all of them? Their military is not the best in Europe by any standard but is getting better. Some say in 30 years it may be better then the English. They want to see a united Germany. They are Germanic like the Austrians but they prefer to see them gone. They are trying to build up their economic as well with railroads for example. Will they succeed?

Russia is led by Nicholas I. Russia fought a few wars in the past 12 years with the Turks and almost with the English. They tried taking their capital with them and the Austrians but it failed. Jomini is still with the Russians. They never forgave the Turks and the English and still remained close with the Austrians even though they want to get into the Ottoman Balkans lands. They are still somewhat a backwards nations but a huge army. Only perhaps China has a biggest force then them. They need to upgrade big time.


Austria is now led by Ferdinand I and Metternich is still around. Franz I died few years prior. Archduke Charles is still around but is old. General Warman8 is still around. He has not fought a battle since the Italian affairs and briefly outside the Turkish theater. He is in his mid 30's now with a long career ahead of him. He is tutored by Archduke Charles. Radezsky is a old man but is in charge of the Italian affairs now. There are revolution rumors going on in Hungary and Northern Italy. Ottoman Empire is neutral and Egypt is neutral as well. They are looking to modernize as well. Can they make it?




Ottoman Empire is led by Abd-ul-Mejid I. They have been humiliated by the English, then the French, almost by the Allied Force, and now by the Greeks and the Egyptians. How much more can this fragile state take?

Denmark is lead by Christian VIII.They are in a fight with the Prussians over their province in the north. They also sent a force to China where they have a small port in and garrison. The Chinese might attack them. They are modernizing however their navy and economy. ill others follow suit?


Spain is led by Isabella II. They are a fragile nation as well from the old Napoleon days. They hardly have a income and people are calling for more colonies. Is this what they really need?

The Swiss are a strong people. But there may be a war between the Protestants and the Catholic (Sontherbund League). Hopefully a war doesn't boil over to other nations....

Victor Emmanuel II is in Charge of Sardina-Piedmont. He is 22 years old, his father being murdered a at Congress in Vienna 20 years prior. He still harbors ill will towards the Austrians and the British for this. All of the Italian states are modernizing and he wants to unify the country. Can they do it?



Let the games begin! Deadline is the 10th of August, PM's sent out later!

Since you are Metternich, you will be in contact with all of the nations. My brother (The Kaiser) has so nicely gave me a map for this. It's 1848 map, not 1842, but the closet we got!

[SoFarSoGood]

Superb! Mein Gott the Empire is vast!

[King Jan III Sobieski]

From the Danish Kingdom:

We are giving warning to the Prussians to not interfere with Schleswig and Holestein. If you want to talk about it, lets have another Congress! If not, then bugger off!

Christian VIII
