Liberty, Equality, Fraternity - Civ3 Conquests scenario

No damn it.. Still waiting. No doubt it will happen as United vs Liverpool kicks off on the weekend :)
 
Soul Warrior, have you got the save at the moment? Would be nice to get just one more turn in before the baby comes ;)
 
No rush, anytime is cool, just wanted to check that we are not all waiting for it :) At this stage, I know the turns can take a while due to the different theatres of war, and amounts of troops that have to be managed etc..

In Italy, the French invasion force has been completely routed. Just near to Florence, the decisive Battle of Florence, 1802 was fought. Two French units of Imperial Cavalry, and two voltgier units were destroyed, and a unit of canon was captured as a prize, in a combined efforts utilising canon, Household Cavalry, and life guards of the Coldstream Guards.

The captured canon will be melted down for the "Florence Medal", available to officers in the Army.

A further Ottomon transport was sunk near Palmi.

Apart from that, the sea's are quiet, and it looks like the status quo of Pax Britannia has been restored.

Here is a mini-map as of Nov 1802. Showing the French Empire at it's peak?

Austrian War Report.

The 2nd Russian Winter Campaign


Outskirts of Bryansk
Austrian Hussars finally reached the outskirts of Bryansk in late december. There a Russian Guard counterattack was destoryed to a man by the elite 1st Vienna Hussars.
Ragged Russian troops, reported to be what was left of the killers of the 3rd Warsaw Hussars, were spotted hiding in the woods east of Bryansk.

2nd Vienna Hussars Bravest Son
The 2nd Vienna Hussars took revenge for the destruction of the Horse Raiding 2nd Tarnopol Hussars. During the annihilation of the Russian Guard a commander showed so much promise, he was field promoted to Fieldmarshal.

Kaiser Fanz II was reported to tell his older Fieldmarshals
"This newly promoted Fieldmarshal Fritz von Salzburg und Kiev is the kind of brave and courageous Austrian that is need in the Empire. With his amazing ability to think clearly in the heat of battle. And for his glorious tactics. I put command of the main forces of the Austrian Army under the name of Fieldmarshal Fritz von Salzburg und Kiev." :newyear:

Prussian forces halted at the Gates of Minsk
Fierce battles have raged this winter, Russian forces trying to reach Vilnus from the east and north have been routed despite heavy losses, whilst the reinforced garrisson of Minsk repelled an assault by brave Prussian troops, attacks to bombard the Russians into surrender have failed leaving the Prussian commander to re-consider his options. The situation is perhaps best described as a stalemate. However a stalemate serves the Austro-Prussian alliance well as their forces combined with Ottoman troops run riot in the south.
 
Message from George III, by the Grace of God, King of Great Britain, France and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, etc. and Elector of Hannover.

As we move into 1803, the King is pleased to announce that the war goes well. Further Spanish Soldado's were routed north of Porto by British solders (without unit loss). There are quite a few units of Spanish Cavalry moving into attack some of the Portugese cities, but we have British Redcoats there, and the King has every faith in his men to do their duty.

Our war at sea continues, but once again we reign almost supreme. The only ships that dared to challenge our authority was a pirate ship off the coast of Skagen (tip of Denmark). The pirate was sunk before he could create any international incidents.

Other than that, a quiet month.

God Save the King!

Desperate Battles fought around Vilnus, Russian forces fail to reach Minsk
This winter has seen a series of desperate battles fought around the newly conquered city of Vilnus. Prussian commanders have considered the cutting of the roads north to be a sign that Russia accepts the city is lost to them.
Russian forces launched a series of isolated attacks to breakthrough to Vilnus, all of which were driven off albeit with heavy casualties. Meanwhile a attempt by Russian guards to breakout of Minsk to the east was thwarted by cuirassiers.
It was against this background the the Duke of Brunswick order the assault on Minsk. The initial bombardment caused havoc amongst the defenders. It was only the determined bravery of the militia that saved the city from capture though the loss in life has been terrible. Unless reinforcements can find a way to relieve the beleaguered defenders the garrison is unlikely to survive a second assault .

Stop press
It can now be revealed that a force of veteran troops have been dispatched by sea to open a second front against the Russian foe. It is believed the force has landed near Riga.

reports of english vassals floating in the north sea summon cries of delight from ignorant peasants.
the high command believes them to be practicing for a landing at the french danish pastry shop.
we would suggest the prussions hide thier women and hotdog, for the british hoologans are a-comin....

on the misfortune on nantes heads have rolled and a new commander of the armies has been appointed.
he has ordered an immediate refitting of the army, and nantes is planned to return to the fold before the year is out.

we shall celebrate XMas in nantes - at the aptly named Palais de Justice
french justice to briton assailants!

Battle of Copenhagen Jan 1803!


A fleet of the Royal Navy today engaged the Swedish enemy for the first time off the east coast of Denmark. The Swedes, who previously considered themselves a regional power, were defeated and the survivors fled with their tails between the legs (less a frigate of course).

Elsewhere the Spanish continue their attacks with little luck against the mighty redcoats in Spain.

Ottoman forces enmass have circled around Zagreb.

Trades with Spain and the Ottoman Empire have netted much needed coin for the war with Russia.

Guard reinforcements reach Minsk
Any hopes of a quick resolution to the siege of Minsk were dashed by the news the garrison had been reinforced by veteran guards. Prussian were engaged near the city in a battle with other Russian troops who overpowered the volunteer regiment raised in Konigsberg. A counterattack eventually retook the position though not before suffering heavy losses. Elsewhere our troops have suceeded in cuting the road east from Minsk. Thus signalling our intention of adding this city to the growing Prussian Empire.

Baron Bombast revealed that Fort Kiel was now completed and was the finest fortification yet seen in Europe.

There have been rumors of Russian forces crossing into Prussia, though these have yet to be confirmed.
 
King George III now has another heir :) So I may be a little slow over the next week or so. Will try and keep up though!
