Laying plans for a HRE game

[The Unknown Guy]

Ok, the problems hit the fan: the Hungarians, French (that´s what happens for not exterminating them), English (weren´t they supposed to be warring with the French anyway?) and Poles attacked at the same time.
So I had to pull my "scortched Earth" plan.
Now, I have lots of sergeants and troops, and kicked the Novgorods out of Finland (in order to close another border, gain more cash, and expend some of my cheap militias ... if the area south of Finland only presents one border I´ll attack it too)
Hungary has cut it´s way through to Silesia. There they stopped, for some reason. The French have retaken Lorraine, and the English have briefly held to that province West of Saxony, but I kicked them out (It´s my main shipyard).

What stands, currently: Burgundy (Probably for long. I have sergeants, some men at arms, some bowmen, and four ballistas to rain death on enemy generals), Venice (Don´t know for how long. Things seem pretty dire over there. I lack cash, and I lack decent military buildings there. I might pull out a scortched earth, then kamikaze it´s garrison against some weak hungarian-held territory to slash and plunder), and the North (namely, all north of Saxony, plus Brandenburg and Pomerania. For some reason Franconia was respected, althrough I had to scortch its military buildings due to lack of cash and impossibility to defend it).

- Good things: I have a great army at the north with which I can both defend my provinces and lash out, plus good infrastructure (no knights yet, however :( ), and the Burgundy Garrison can bite enemies in the rear when I strike down. Also, I managed to pul out six inçuisitors to harass Hungarian advances (I´ve followed Papal orders concerning the French to the letter so far, I´m entitled to have some inçuisitors)

- Bad things: I´m badly out of cash. My army is composed mainly of sergeants (expensive, and not an efficient attack force) and militia (which routs, lowering the morale of my proper units.) I need to reform the army: get rid of the militia, reduce the sergeant number to the barest minimum to garrison the north, and keep men-at-arms forces, which are both cheaper to produce and maintain, and more useful attacking. At most keep one sergeant unit to shoo away cavalry.

I´m going to fight this one to the bitter end. :p
