It is the year 1806, the time of the War of the Fourth Coalition. Prussia, Russia, Sicily & Britain struggle to defeat the mighty French Empire & her client states.
Saxony, that traitorous province sides with the enemy & the well-prepared French legions have begun sweeping the continent.
Russia is mobilising but its enemy, the Ottoman Empire has also mobilised. Both forces shall clash in the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812.
Magically, the French Occupation of Portugal occurred 1 year earlier, meaning History has changed.
Moreover, the Kingdom of Sicily somehow also owned the Southern half of Italy in 1806, so History has diverged further.
Thus, you, the Austrian Empire shall join the War of the Fourth Coalition since historical accuracy has little worth here.
_______________________________________________
What I'm gonna do is cover 2 major movements/events that will help you seize initiative in the war.
First, split your attention into 2 theatres:
The Southern theatre
1st comes the initial onslaught of Ottoman troops & Russia mobilising to stop them.
Your move: Move troops to your Southernmost cities & defend them against the Ottoman Empire's seemingly endless waves of attacks.
Cooperate with Russia to defend or attack with maximum efficiency.
2nd is the Russian defeat & the Ottoman superiority in this theatre. Oh, and irritants such as the Confederation of the Rhine, the Sultanate of Egypt & Italy are joining in.
Your move: Pray that the British Mediterranean Fleet, Kingdom of Sicily & Sardinia can distract the enemy long enough for you to beat back the Ottoman Empire & erect forts to defend your coast.
Dig in & defend all the way. You may also seize Sarajevo to prepare for a thrust into the Central Balkan territories.
This is the MOST IMPORTANT phase of the war in the South. DEFEND TO THE LAST MAN! A successful defence (& possible counterattack) will chance the outcome as your success in the North will give you access to more income.
The 3rd wave (it's unmarked) is fending off the combining French, Italian & Spanish attack on your coast which is easy with the help of some forts.
Here, you may also expand eastwards into lost Russian territory & into (modern day) Romanian territory.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Northern Theatre
The 1st thing you see is the prepared French legions tearing through Prussia. However, Prussia will valiantly make a last stand at Berlin.
Russia's initial movements are laughable, if the Russian actually mobilised.
The Dutch will send troops to aid the French.
Your move: Select some troops & march into the Rhine, Saxony & Poland. The troops in the Rhine & Saxony shall only capture enemy stables & factories before moving northwards to assist Prussia.
The forces in Poland shall prepare to quickly knock out the nation before it can do too much harm to Prussia.
The 2nd wave begins. Poland joins the war, Sweden & Denmark-Norway begin fighting, Russia FINALLY mobilizes a massive relief force, Prussia is close to collapsing & your Western border is under threat.
Your move: DEFEND TO THE LAST MAN! Hold out till the Russian reinforcements arrive!
Cooperate with Russia & Prussia to quickly CRUSH the Polish.
Cooperate with Prussia to conquer the traitorous Saxony.
Retake Berlin because it's most likely gonna fall by now.
Pray that the combined Swedish-Russian-Prussian forces sweep through mainland Denmark-Norway.
The 3rd (but undisclosed) phase is assisting your allies in the Coalition counterattack. Take advantage of the spammed Prussian, Swedish & British forces to invade the Rhine, Holland & France.
Although the Brits can't help much by now, their assistance & contribution are in no way small.
Don't forget to pray that Britain remembers to invade the Danish base Greenland or else Ireland shall fall.
Saxony, that traitorous province sides with the enemy & the well-prepared French legions have begun sweeping the continent.
Russia is mobilising but its enemy, the Ottoman Empire has also mobilised. Both forces shall clash in the Russo-Turkish War of 1806-1812.
