MattyB2 has officialy quit. i'm so glad he told me this now and not a month ago
did orders myself for Britain, Rome, Austria, and followed Grubans advice on Germany, but didnt do it well (misread his suggestion), still worked out though.
Rome is dead. Austria has no land, but still has armies on ships that could get it some land. dont know if we had a rule for this situation. will ahve to go see. i'm inclined to let it live till its armies are dead (which shouldnt be too long).
Battles:
Sea Battle at N: - 12 English vs 13 African
Both sides were ordered to attack, and this is the only reason why the new african ships are envolved in open sea fighting. if only the african had ordered attacks, then those 3 ships would sit in dock.
After the first day, the British gained the upper hand in numbers, on then faltered and were unable to sink a single african ship on subsequent days (and there were quite a few).
Territories taken without a fight: 27, 55, 60, 61, 40,
Territory 44: - Rome 6 vs Africa 7 (with city)
Romes armies tired from walking for years, are no match for the fresh defenders. and rome is finaly a government without land or army. The surviving politicians loot the roman treasury and retire in a life of luxury under the rule of their new african overlords.
Territory 14 - Britain 24 vs France 8 (with city)
The british invaders overwhelm the French forces ocupying the spanish city, and take control of it.
Territory 13 - Britain 20 vs France 13 (with city)
In the first assault, the british loose over half of their forces, while dealing milimal damage to the French, it seems the battle is lost. On the second day the british rally and regain the numerical advantage they lost earlier. on the third day, the british took the city, though 90% of the original attackers lay dead around it.
Territory 11 - France 30 vs Britain 31 (with city)
The British easily repel the huge French advance and wipe two thirds of the invading force on the first day. The second day, its just a clean up job.
Territory 34 - France 21 vs Britain 20 (with city)
After 3 days of fighting the armies outside the city are both wiped out, and the city stands intact in the middle of the carnage.
Territory 36 - Germany 15 vs Britain 11 (with city)
after day one the recount proves that the opposing armies are exactly the same size even though germany started with a considerable advantage.
on day two, the germans get their revenge for their fallen brothers, and wipe out the British with almost no losses to their own forces.
Territory 37 - Britain 10 vs Germany 16 (with city)
A quick battle ends in defeat for the british attackers.

... and have a counter-proposal. A 4-way victory. Russia-France-Germany-Africa. Don't laugh, I'm serious.
