I faced in my early Prussian campaign a rather interesting incident (on m/h). I had war with Poland-Lithuania who made me many problems with small scale warfare. Then the question came whom I would support in the new war between Hanover and Sweden (both my allies). My thoughts were, please no Swedish warmongers in Hanover at my western border, so I sided with Hanover. A stupid decision because Hannover had attacked Sweden and taken Denmark from them. Because of greed and overestimation of my capabilities I attacked also Hanover to get this most beautyful of all human settlements, or better, get rid of her and access to Denmark and her rich harbours. So I had war with Hanover, small war with Poland and sea war with Sweden. The last blocked my only harbour and my economy was shaken. I invaded Sweden and was beaten by a (slightly) bigger Swedish army, what a shame.
Then, a great luck for me, the Swedish sued for peace! Maybe my incompetent but eager invasion had impressed them. More probably they had lost some battles against their many other foes and considered their odds (Sweden was at war with nearly everybody). Some times after that Poland accepted my pleading for peace, so I was able to concentrate my forces against Hanover.
Things like this had never happened in one of my campaigns in MTW, RTW, M2TW or EB.
