I started as Prussia and have quickly grabbed some of the single state nations nearby - Courland and Saxony - plus that region that splits your territory and is owned by Poland. Didnt fancy a long war with them and managed to buy peace by offering them plug bayonets immediately after i'd taken their land

I had the most enjoyable battle so far too. Saxony sallied out to defeat my smaller sieging force. I formed a line and out in front, little beyond musket range, was a large farmhouse which I garrisoned with a unit of line. It was like my own little "La Haye Sainte" from Waterloo and worked great to break up and delay their attack! I lost that unit eventually but won the battle easily. Much more fun than fighting hordes of bow-armed Native Americans!
