It's the war I've been waiting 300 years for. But it's here finally!
No, not that one. Go back to your corner, altodevil.
Napoleon is at war with the Great Shakesy!
@PSV declared war on Brittany, who was allied to Great @Shakesy and @Crackers . PSV called in @Organic Potatoes.
On paper, Great Shakesy should have had a clear numerical advantage in north America, with 3 strong colonies to PSV’s one. However, PSV had left some troops over in America from its war vs the USA which made things interesting. The French expeditionary forces got off to a good start and marched on the Thirteen colonies. The British colonists were caught on the back foot.
In south America they were evenly matched with 1 strong colony each.
On the continent, PSV was in total control and able to simultaneously siege down the English possessions in France, while he marched on Crackers and annihilated his armies in Germany.
An attack on Organic Potatoes by Crackers was repelled by PSV. Venice still maintains a respectable fleet, so it is incredibly difficult to make landfall on Venice proper. Shortly after, the French turned north and carpet sieged all of Austria down.
The only front that Great Shakesy seemed to be making progress on was the south America theatre, but even then he faced a setback when the British fleet - the strongest in the world - failed to pick up and intercept a French convoy of troops to Colombia. The disembarked troops doubled the French presence from 30k troops to to over 60k, compared to the English 45k. Interestingly, PSV decided to split his 60k troops into two armies, which Great Shakesy was able to set upon and destroyed one of them entirely before the other could mutually support. It was even again.
.. until Shakesy took a bad fight and lost his army entirely. Now he was losing on two continents, with north America arguably being a draw.
Eventually, without British support on the continent and fully sieged down, Crackers was forced to concede defeat. Another heavy blow for the Austrians.
Not long after, realising he couldn't make the dash across the channel due to the British fleet superiority, PSV accepted a white peace. The only person to come out of the war fecked was Crackers. And he wasn't even the target.
(note, the casualties don't include Austria who had already peaced out by then)
While this was all going on, @maniak and his PU @hobbers were fighting the Netherlands. They were winning this comfortably. This in itself wasn't much to write about, until Westphalia decided to declare war on maniak and attack him with 600k troops to his 200k.
In the battles where the allies did enjoy numerical superiority, they were being soundly beaten.
Things were going badly for maniak. They were getting smashed on the battlefield, hobbers was sieged down and bankrupt and their Netherlands gains were being reversed.
