Okay,here are the new deployments for England. This will also be the beginning of my play to make England a continental power.
First of all, new English Military deployments in Europe.
The 60,000 regulars are to be formed into three corps in Milden. These willl be the 15th, 16th, and 17th Corps. Wolfe is transferring to from Edinburgh to command them as the Second British Expeditionary Army. Attached to his command are the three new militia corps, the 1st - 3rd Volunteer Corps. These forces are in Milden also.
The English are now on the move.
The First Expeditonary Army under Clive out of Hannover is attacking south with 80,000 regulars into Duchie territory right below it. Please tell me if there is going to be a battle, and I will give you the attack.
The Second Expeditionary Army under Wolfe out of Milden is also attacking south with 60,000 regulars and 60,000 Militia into the Duchie territory south of that. If I engage any troops, let me know and I will post my moves.
OOC My budget will be posted later today.

OOC: JT3 did these battles
Battle of Posen
The I Corps under Frederick the Great were the best of the best in the Prussian armies. 20,000 strong and with the best training of earth. The Prussian force marched from the safety of the woods into Posen. The scouts saw the a Polish Corps which could be identified as the V Corps. The battle was about to commence. Frederick called to his commanders to make an echelon formation. The Polish commander, seeing he was outnumbered 2 to 1, still did not decide to retreat, but rather a massed reserve. The Polish force seemed to withdraw but in reality left a few picket lines. The first of the Prussian force to attack was the infantry, swinging like a door from the right flank. The picket lines were caught offguard by this move, expecting a full frontal assault. The picket lines of the Polish army was losing ground, and fast. The Polish commander, seeing that his lines were being pushed back, could not wait any longer and decided to commit the full force of his reserves. The Polish reserves came out with a battle-cry but were matched by a hail of musketry. The force managed to make it to the vanguard of the swing action where they were met by the Prussia cavalry. They quickly formed infantry squares to try to hold off the attack, but to the surprise of the Polish, the cavalry retreated and charged to the left flank against the Polish cavalry contingent. While in the squares, the 1st battallion of the Prussian army led by Frederick himself on horseback smashed through the infantry squares. At last, the Polish commander, saw what was happening, and withdrew his force to the safety of another territory.
Result: Decisive Prussian victory. Prussians lose 750 men, Polish lose 3500. Polish fall back from territory.
___________________
Battle of East Prussia
The II Corps under Schwerin would meet with the Polish II Corps who readily snuck into East Prussia. The field was prime for battle. Schwerin decided to first seek out what he was up against, so he ordered a probe.
The vanguard of the probe met with the Polish advanced guard. The Polish vanguard, expecting a large assault, retreated orderly into the safety of Polish lines. Seeing this, the Prussian vanguard sent call back to the Prussian lines to send in more troops against the Polish lines. The Polish commander, after hearing the reports from his pickets, decided to send in the cavalry against the Prussian vanguard. To his dismay, the Prussian infantry calmly formed infantry squares and mowed down the cavalry in a hail of musketry. The Polish commander then tried an outflanking movement. This took Schwerin by surprise and he had to relocate troops from his other flank to handle the Polish onslaught. After the loss of many men, the Polish outflanking force was sent back. Coming after them was another force of Prussian troops. The Polish commander saw the loss of his troops and decided to retreat.
Result: Prussian Victory

Duke Declares War upon Tuscany!
His excellency the Grand Duke of Savoy, Duke of Lombardy, Prince of Piedmont and the Count of Turin and Genoa has announced that the Grand Duchy of Savoy will declare war against the nation of Tuscany in the name of a United Italy. 38,000 men under the I Corps of Charles Emmanuel [4,4,5 R] have invaded Livorno [Leghorn] where the Tuscan II Corps, with 15,000 men, is waiting. Charles' military expertise has inclined him to choose to Envelop the enemy. 12,000 men will hit the left flank, 13,000 on the right, and another 13,000 will hit the Tuscan forces in a frontal assault.
~~~
The air was crisp as Charles' horse pranced down the lane. The great commander turned around to watch his glorious army, 38,000 strong, head towards the Tuscan frontier. The men were strong, just raised and trained in Piacenza. They had seen the power of a United Italy and wished to share in its glory. Charles reviewed his options. Livorno was a small city but a strategic one, the only major Tuscan port. He could easily cut off their coastline and launch a double assault on Firenze [Florence] with General Traun. Tuscany would be theirs in a few months.
...Several hours later...
The sun was perched high over the vineyards of Tuscany as the reflection off the artillary pieces shown the brilliant splendour of the Savoyard military. The banners of the House of Savoy flowing behind them, the Savoyards approached the hilltop, looking down on the winding lanes and defensive walls of the port city of Livorno. Only one thing stood in the way of Savoyard victory: the Tuscan II Corps, assembled at the base of the ridge and 15,000 strong. Charles smiled at his advantages...elevation, outnumberment, morale. Then he raised his sword and the banners of Savoy, Piedmont, and Lombardy streamed above the mass of humanity charging towards the Tuscan infidels...

The II, IX, XIV, and XII Corps of the Austrian Reichsheer numbering 40,000 men strong under the command of Marshal Reinhard Daun marched steadily toward Krakow. The Polish countryside spread out like a green carpet before the advancing troops. Before them the skyline of Krakow stretched east to west. The factories belched balck smoke into the clear blue sky. And marching from the city like ants was the Polish IV Corps numbering only 10,000. Marshal Daun smiled and turned to his advisors to plan the attack.
- - - - - - -
"Forward" ordered the Austrian commander. A recon force of 2,000 soldiers advanced steadliy toward the Polish lines. The Poles raised their guns and began to fire wildly. The Austrians marched toward the Polish front ignoring their comrades falling dead next to them. Although the whole point of the Probe maneuver was to explore the enemies forces the Poles were treating it as an actual attack. Cannons roared and Polish soldiers with fixed bayonets charged toward the Austrians. After an hour the recon force fell back to rejoin the main forces. They had lost 1,000 men and the Poles in their foolish battle fever had lost 2,000
Daun rode among his men shouting orders, he stopped his horse and surveyed the battlefield. A flat grassy plain stretched as far as the eye could see. Not an advantage for an outflanking maneuver. However they outnumbered the Polish 4 to 1 perfect for a full frontal assault. As the Austrians scrambeled to set everything in order a small force was dispatched to hold the Polish interest.
Finally the Austrian artillery roared like an angry beast. The Austrian soldiers with their fixed bayonets let out a battle cry worthy of the Scotch and broke into a running charge. The Poles looked up in absolute fear. Quickly the Polish commander formed his soldiers into a defensive cordon and began to fire on the advancing Austrians. The Austrians in the front fell like toy soldiers bleeding. However it wasn't enough to stop the charge. The Reichsheer artillery was creating chaos as it slammed into the thick of the Polish soldiers sending bodies and horses flying.
Finally the Austrian charge slammed into the Polish front like a hammer on glass. If a bird flying above were to look down at that exact moment it would behold an awesome sight. The Polish lines seemed to crumble and implode against the force of almost 39,000 Austrian soldiers. The mere 8,000 Polish soldiers were propelled backwards harshly. However qucikly the Poles rallied amazingly and shoved the Austrians back.
But the Austrians were to much. They pushed forward once more and it was to much for the Poles who began to retreat. The Polish commander however began to organize a withdraw. A small melee took place man to man. The Austrians losing 250 and the Poles 500. At the end of the day the Poles had lost 4,500 men and the Austrians had lost 2,250 soldiers.
The Polish army had withdrawn from Krakow and the surrounding territories. After entering the city Marshal Daun immediatly dispatched a messanger to contact their Prussian allies (hint Mao).

OOC: In the news today, Austria and Prussia have agreed to carve up Poland, then have Prussia stupidly attack Austria in two years and head in every direction but the Austrian capital. 
I did this battle giving the Hessian 30,000 troops and the forest. Anyone else wants battles done I will be online for a while tonight.
IC:
Duchies/Kassel Border, Noon
Heinrich Vutstein, in a very good mood after his last battle against the Hessians, was ready for another victory. The young commander climbed onto his horse and rode over to his artillery. He had already told the brigade and regiment commanders that they should charge as soon as the artillery began firing. That was actually the hardest part, as there were over 3000 commanders in his 85000 man army. But it was done, and now Vutstein was ready for another glorious victory. He gave the command.
116 Artillery pieces opened fire on the Hessian defensive force. The Rhinish army, split into three parts for an outflanking maneuver, began to march, heading for the enemy less than a mile away. The main assault force, the middle group, numbered 45000 in all. When it reached the farthest edges of its gun range, all men halted and opened fire. Their orders were to keep the enemy occupied, not destroy it. That was the job of the other sections.
Two other sections, with 20000 men in each, slowly moved around the Hessian army on either side through the forest. They were close to the enemy army. Very close. Suddenly, the forest abruptly ended and the enemy army's flanks were in their view. Both sides immediatly charged, stopping to fire a few rounds before tearing into the enemy with bayonets. The Hessians were decimated, and retreated only half an hour later, losing 13000 men to only 3000 Rhinish.
The Rhinish marched on, knowing and expecting their objective. And then they saw it. Kassel, the Hessian capital, streatched out before them in all its glory. Despite it being an enemy city, the army could not help but respect its greatness. It was nearly as large as their own capital, Mainz. The army slowly marched into the city, welcomed by some, spat on by others. The unfriendly citizens were forced out of their homes and into inns so the Rhinish army could have rest. It had been a long, victorious day, and they deserved their rewards.
To: Whatever is left of Hessian Command
From: Rhineland
Your army is destroyed. Your capital is ours. Your government is gone. We urge you to surrender the rest of your territory peacefully, or we will take it.
-----------------------------
OOC: BT, gave the Bergish 20,000 men to defend with on this one since they're extremely small and if I got 40,000 in the beginning and am 3 times their size it's rather generous. I win if they have 30,000, too, with only 1000 more casualties, so if you change it tell me and I'll subtract a buck from my spending.
Kleves/berg Front, Noon
Johannes Granhan, a rising commander in the Rhinish army, had been euphoric when he got the message that he would be commanding an attack against the small region of Berg to the Rhineland's east. His mood had not changed. He now stood behind the front lines of his army, giving the order to advance. Artillery had been firing for three and a half hours now, pummeling Bergish defenses. The attack was basicly a smaller version of the battle in Kassel, and would have the same success.
The flanking forces arrived to see that they were farther back than they had expected and that the entire Bergish rear was open to them. Not that this was a bad thing. The Rhinish charged, quickly surrounding the Bergish forces. The Bergish, seeing their position, concentrated their efforts on falling back into the woods and managed to succeed, with high casualties.
The Rhinish had won another victory. Colonel Granham couldn't be more pleased. The Bergish territory of Wesel was theirs. The Bergish had lost over 6000 troops, and the Rhinish had lost less than 2000. he would be getting a promotion, and getting it very soon.

BATTLE OF LUBLIN
On two small hillocks two armies faced each other. On one side the white Austrian banner fluttered above gray coated soldiers and on the other side was the red and white Polish flag fluttering above the blue coated Poles. Marshal Daun riding his marvelous brown Andalusian steed comandeered a very good scene of the field. The Poles commanded one hillock while his forces commanded another. The city of Lublin lay in the background.
Daun turned to his aides.
- - - - - -
Artillery fire broke the relative peace of the early morning. Austrian probing forces were marching out toward the Poles. The Poles wisely stayed atop their hillock raining artillery and musket fire down on the Austrians. The probes were being forced to endure a hellish rain of weapons fire as the Poles stayed safely atop their hillcock. After only a half hour the Austrians fell back to their main forces. 1,750 Austrian corpses litterd the field while absolutley no Poles had died.
As soon as they merged the Austrian artillery opened fire on the Polish positions. And a charge was started. The Polish commander elected to wait it out. However Daun had concocted a brilliant plan to gain the advantage. The artillery was pounding the Poles in the thick of their forces killing left and right. So the Polish commander ordered a counterattack. The Poles fixed their bayonets and charged the Austrians. Daun's plan to dislodge the Poles from their hillock had worked. Austrian artillery began to fire into the Polish charge leveling more and more.
When the two charges finally met it was devestating. The Poles had prepared to fight hand to hand with bayonets, however as soon as they were upon the Poles the Austrians fired their muskets. The deadly barrage at close range broke the back of the Polish counterattack. The Poles turned and fled from the battlefield. Daun rode down into his forces ordering no pursuit. Instead the 6,000 Poles remaining were allowed to flee as the Austrian forces marched triumphantly into Lublin. Again a messanger was dispatched to contct the Prussians.
END RESULT: Austrian Victory
Austrians: 3,750
Polish: 4,000
