-36? I will assume that is sarcasm, since the maximum handicap is 27

No official HC, but when I was keeping track with a spreadsheet it amounted to 36, so 27 I guess.

Those damned Austrians! Security will not allow me to disclose the dastardliness of their act, but I am now at war with them

Wow! Two countries go to war with Austria and in the same month they both lose a city each.

so which royal house declared war on Austria without any A N Y consoltation with their allies

looks like I am heading out of this game very fast

also looks like you were never to be trusted with so much power

shows your true colours

with great saddness I have lost several cities

I have taken several austrian cavalry units... but at a massive cost

trust does not exist in this game

twits

the drunken Minister of the Interior has been taken from his office and retired to properties on the Danish coast

Great Houses of Europe, Allies in the trus cause

Please accept the apologies of my government over this out burst.

So let us go kick some Austrian butt now

had hoped seeing I have such a long border with them you could have communicated a bit more closely with me on your plans

ahh that is life in europe

a shame that I have no settlers and to have lost such fantastic towns

OK, how about this? I will attack Austria to your south, diverting them to a war with me while you build up your forces, making my way towards the Ottomans, from whence I will concentrate on them leaving the Austrians to you.

Perhaps the Czar will do something similar from the west?

Oh my. Austria isn't fooling around, is it? I assume those piles of rubble were once Prussian cities? And Valence doesn't look like it's very long for this world.
And are the Austrians also at war with the Russians?

They took my cities, but my forces were regrouping on my capital

That's nasty Paddy. So what actually happened? Britain declared war on Austria and because Prussia has an MPP with Britain, Prussia automatically declared war on Austria and between turns Austria razed 3 Prussian cities? The Alliance had better puts its collective heads together and work out how to extract reparations from the aggressor.


Dispatch from His Royal Highness, Alexandar, Czar of Russia, to the Lords Paddy and Rickety:

The Russian Empire shall be landing an expeditionary force on the Swedish coast in 2 months time, on a fact finding mission. Please be aware that your current MPP's with Sweden shall force you to declare war upon Russia, should the Swedish King not appreciate our presence and war breaks out between Russia and Sweden.

Russia respectfully requests you to break all ties with Sweden to avoid such a disagreeable outcome.

And if that Spanish cavalier ever comes out of hiding, please inform him of these latest developments.

Indeed. At the Swedish king's request we have sent troops to help with the country's defence should it be needed. In return, the Swedes are patrolling the seas to protect our troop transports from pirates.

The Swedish King is a computer that is not programmed to make such a request, you great gallah

It therefore seems that the Spanish renegade is intent upon breaking the Grand Alliance. I call upon Prussia and Britain to beware of the Spanish turncoat.

As for pirates, the only pirates sighted on the waves in recent years have been Spanish privateers. Should any be sighted they shall be sunk without hesitation.

King of Spain, please ensure any toops you have in Sweden by way of this illegal alliance with Sweden, remain a distance from our expeditionary forces, or risk the consqeuences.

Dear Stroppy Russian Bear,

You are the one breaking the alliance. Sweden has been our ally from the beginning and I am now helping to protect that country. Sweden is very small and Russia is very large. It needs help. We will not declare war on anyone until a Mutual Protection Pact requires us to do so. We are not interested in war.

P.S. What's a gallah? ^^

A gallah is a loud, annoying and clownish bird, although actually quite intelligent (for a bird). They are destructive and cheeky. I think it's the cheeky part Aqualung was thinking of, due to your propensity for mooning.
