also war sells cars don't slow down to watch someone help someone, unfortunately they slow down to see a wreck (even if it doesn't inhibit traffic) but try it!

In my Ethiopia game which I'll make into an AAR soon, I am doing quite a lot of war with Arabia.

I already finished the game. At that point, I was just waiting for Hungary to collapse.

Chapter XIX: Anglo-Russian War, Part IV
In 1759, once again, another Russian force sweltered inside the walls of Venice. Despite their large numbers, thousands of soldiers had been crippled by the plague and nearly unable to fight. However, their aggressive, militant government stated fighting with diseased, ailing soldiers would only make their victory greater. Inefficient and run almost entirely by Russian bureaucrats, the Hungarian Empire was dangerously unstable and near imminent collapse. The question was not whether it would disintegrate, but whether the state would go out with a bang or a whisper. Either away, Russia would be barred by miles and miles of hostile, virulent land from Italy. Then, the Queen's only worry would be killing the remaining Russians in rightfully English territory.
The colossal Russian army crossed the border into English land. It was possibly the largest of all the behemoths England faced in this merciless war. The fate of Italy would be determined by whoever was bold enough to challenge this horde.
In Pexaro, English sponsored riots stagnated the city and revealed Russia was fabricating a navy to challenge England's control of the Mediterranean. It was made a priority to capture the city back and sink the Russian Adriatic Navy.
The British army met with the Russians and bombarded the Slavs with cannonfire. Both sides met with heavy casualties, but the English prevailed in this first battle because of sheer willpower and the drive to expel the Russians from Italy.
In 1762, the Hungarian government tore apart in a five-way civil war, split apart by regions led by dictators and tyrants with their own sinister aspirations. Anti-Russian sentiment was the sole belief of all the successor states, and Russian soldiers throughout once Hungarian lands were slaughtered and imprisoned. The Russian tsardom was shocked by the recent events and ordered their army to conquer Venice. The city was of strategic location and would allow Russia to continue their shipbuilding and as a base to report on British military operations.
British soldiers, suffering from post-traumatic stress and disease, retreated to Milan. Russian cavalry followed behind, slowly pouring out of Venice. Queen Alexandria was fed up with the war brought on by the Russians and proposed to conquer Venice and finally eliminate the Russian presence from the Empire.
Fantastic war stories of valor and heroism, shown by both sides, spread across into France and the Isles. Many soldiers were promoted to some of the highest positions and given the most honorable of medals for showing courage in the face of Russian imperialism for years, or even decades. Many foot soldiers who fought with muskets and rapiers became distinguished military generals attributing their career and success to this devastating war, becoming governor-generals of colonies and commanding battles across the globe.
For example, most of the company that founded the Cape of Good Hope colony served in the Anglo-Russian War. The first governor of the colony was a lieutenant from the war.
Britain now controlled an empire where the sun never set. Though the sun never disappears, so do the monarchs and Alexandria died shortly after the foundation of the colony. She was succeeded by her nephew, Louis II, who shared similar views as his aunt and hoped to conquer Venice and eject the Russians from Italy once and for all.
Still, the Russian army was much to big to be dealt with head on. Louis evacuated the wounded from Florence and Verona and hoped to draw the Russians to Florence.
Then, he ordered a quick skirmish on Venice. He was surprised to see fewer Russian soldiers than expected.
At last, Venice was captured. Because of its history in the war, Louis wasn't hesitant in his decision to burn the city to ash. Louis was proud to say the war was calming down. But he had no clue as to when a treaty would be signed and the war could end. And the Russian ambassador was less than willing to end the war.
