Status: offline 		Hopefully the other players in the game will join in. At least Neverman so we can continue the Turkish/Russian commentary here. It is Dec 1805. Fr/SP/TU vs Rus/GB/Germans. France is matching into Austria. Turkey marched in, lost a major fight, and is now marching back to face 8 Russian corps advancing along the Aus/Tu boarder. Hardly any forces are along the Prussian front. 5 GB/RU corps are in Le Harve, with 3 French marching in that direction. Once I figure out how to load mapshots, I will do so.

Status: offline 		I think it would be nice if the orig poster would put the start date of this game.... so everyone can get an idea of how long these games take to play and how much long term dedication there is involved. Thanks in advance.

I think we've been at this one almost a year now? Or a little over a year now? Not sure, someone help me out here, :).

So if we've been doing this for a little over a year real-time (or about a year) and we've gone through almost a year of game time then this game is year for year....

... so I will be ~10+ years older when this game ends.... awesome!

EDIT: Maybe an actual physical re-enactment might not take as long.

I guess so... though you would think this would go faster considering we are using a bought PC version.

Anyway, I don't want to hijack this thread talking about the speed of EiANW.

Back to the game....

Status: offline 		Dec 1806 - France with his Prussian lapdog continue the fight against Austria. Many stout Austrian lads formed adhoc "Insurrection Corps" following the near obliteration of the Austrian Army. Charles just recently cut the French line of supply which may prove to be troublesome for the Corsican Usurper.

While things look dire for Austria a look at the most recent battle between Charles and Napoleon show that the Grand Armee isn't that grand following the occupation of Paris for to econ phases by brave English and Russia heroes.

note: The presence of the Prussian mercenaries tipped the numeric scales.

Elsewhere, the French countryside has been cleared of the hearty souls who have inspire many ballads which have swelled the lines at the English recruiting centers throughout the Empire.

In the South the Spanish Army continues to dither. Having turned West for a few turns to thwart a British invasion which turned out to be a feint. They are now headed back to the East to gather those Austrian territories in Italy that their French master has apportioned to them.

Wellington leads a recovering English army against the Turks in N.Africa. The forces of darkness wonder where he will strike next.

The Turks have made a stand against the Russians outside Constantinople. The Russians had to turn back for a time to rebuild its lines of supply following an end around by an ellusive Turkish cav corps.

Finally, the Prussian poodle has built a Polish Kingdom out of hide, but cowers within its own borders rather than follow through on its treachery with a full scale invasion of its former allies.
