ORIGINAL: delatbabel Well at least Prussia will get the chance to sit back for the next 36 months and watch Austria get annihilated (possibly even twice if they are lucky). The 36 months does not protect Prussia, but rather France. This French player is ruthless. He's one of the best there are at this game, too. Prussia's only real hope is for the upcoming war (plus the peace time spent gobbling minors) is long enough to use up most of that 36 months. IF Prussia can get back into a war with France WHILE Austria or Russia is at war, then Prussia has at least some bargaining chips to play. But, it's going to take some pretty interesting game-play to accomplish that. RUTHLESS?? - Not me. I didn't start the war; Prussia did. I offered the Prussians a very easy conditional peace back in January (Saxony & 24 months). Prussia's biggest problem is going to be replacing the army he lost (60I; 17C; 3G + 8 Saxon I & 2 Saxon C =~ $460/180mp). Even with 36 months peace; he will only produce $360/168mp (remember he is down Madgeberg & Pommeramia) & this assumes he spends NOTHING on corp/depots or movement & has no wars with anyone else (of course - depending on who the "anyone" is - he MAY get help from ME[:D]). I'm not sure if even Britain can afford to come up with over $100 to help him rebuild while also helping the Russians & Austrians. I really doubt that the war with Austria will take anywhere near 36 months. I have never seen a "real war" (the France/GB staredown isn't a real war & neither is on where Russia hides behind Prussia/Austria & doen't fight) that lasts even a fraction of that time. If my current plans work out the way that I think they will; my prediction is 6-8 months (from the start of the war) depending on how the battles go & how stubborn the Austrian player is. (Do I have plans - of course; am I going to discuss them here - not until AFTER they are triggered) Did you include if Prussia made Poland in your calculations, this could add couple factors and money ? Offcourse he would need peace with Austria/Russia while doing so. Since he is not likely to be able to protect it. Regards Bresh
