Complete
Brit-Med
Fr- 76%
Br- 70%
Sp- 89%
Pr- 101%
Tu- 96%
Ru- 81%
Au- 89%
Only 3 Major Wars
Br vs Fr
Br vs Ru
Br vs Sp.
At one point all 3 were happening simultaneously.
1805
Br blockades Fr/ Dutch they started widely scattered in Med, Biscay & Channel.
Rus declares phony war on Swede (Br), Sp phony on Port (Fr) Unknown on Dalmatia (Fr) Au double phony on Papacy(Pr)/Naples (Sp) and Fr phony on Aus influenced Belgium area (Pr). Remainder of Germany and north Italy was conquored.
Br entered open Lille area and wiped out quickly, memo: Send corps with more than 1 factor next time.....sigh.
Rus though then declared on Br, won 3 straight naval actions against Swede (2) Br reaction force till chased to Riga on 4th try. Br sent 2 corps to Finn & 2 Swede corps. Rus made no advance. Alliance took St. Pete's, RN captured all Ru transports and 1808-09 campaign took Moscow...easily. The Rus Conditionaled to Brits. Bulk of army snoozed on Black Sea coast by Turkey.
In Med Brit corp on Malta (OH thats where all my factors were.... sigh) took Sardinia & Corsica. Had eyes on Naples but Sp grabbed it. Br decided it must have Naples.
Sp fleet moved to Naples. Br moved to Naples. Sp fleet moved to Taranto. Br upset stripped Med of blocade forces and burnt Sp fleet this occurred in most odd way, described in BUG REPORT, and was retreated a sea Zone after victory. Sp White Peaced and Brits took Portugal from Fr.
With Sp war over and Rus war not long after major forces freed for Euro Ops. Moore took Trip & Tunis despite not being allowed to DoW from Italy.
Bulk of army with 2 Swede Corps crossed into Lille while Moore from Med landed in Lorient. Fr fleets burned but Davout & 4 Corps wiped Moore out. The Alliance encountered Nappy & 1 Corps and lost twice. Br grabbed low countries and Rhine/North Sea area minors while retreating. Half of Soults Genoa army linked with Nappy and La Grande Armee retook Brussels & Munster. Davout stayed in Lorient but sent 1 Corps to Lille and 2 to Flanders. 3 Brits amphibbed onto Oldenberg bringing Alliance to full strength 6 Br & 1 Swede Corps. Another swede (2 Cav) had retreated to Brit and another added to Army. In two shattering battle La Grande Armee destroyed and Nappy captured joining previously captured Massena. Fr declined Moore for Masenna swap.
Br retook Munster and Flanders wiping out 2 Davout corps. Lille and Paris next on docket when 12/11 Prus declared victory!!!!!

AI getting quite a VP bumb, seems higher than older versions which were surmountable.
AI lack of aggression too annoying. Fr & Au need be more active as somnolent Pruss win if undisturbed. AI needs to react to other AI & Players rising VP total vis a vis their own.
AI still won't build minors. This is in my opinion the most glaring failure of system. There is no reason for it and it cripples AI war effort the last thing they need.
DoW over water was not a problem in earlier versions, new to 1.06. Not consistant as DoW on Sardinia not disallowed.
Phony wars getting too prevalent. AI need be programmed to head for capital on all DoW's, Phony Wars bushleague stuff players pull in boardgame.
Sp still can't figure out overland to Algeria as Rus can't figure out Caucasus campaign. Back in 1.04 both did slightly better so deteriorating performance.
Pr still can't figure out crossing arrows to Denmark (Fr), so Brits swooped in and grabbed it. If Pr is diplomed to attack island it will do so and then stumble into Copenhagen, shouldn't need a bribe to carry out its own DoW!!!!
New start OB options look good so far.
Diplomacy option to request a DoW by AI ally should be added to menu.
