Well done  . You have to move faster if you want to get a better result though. HRE can't handle the heat because France is really strong and moves first in the turn order. You've got to attack the Netherlands ASAP and do a Schlieffen plan-like attack. With 8 pretty serious generals and high tech, I'd estimate that you could manage that by ~turn 12. France will crumble like a wet cookie once you do that because the french main army will be isolated and split in two, one part will try to recapture what territory you took, while the other half will try to keep fighting HRE. Also don't declare on Italy turn 1, man. HRE already has a hard enough time, do it on turn 6, when Naples joins. Italy will die later but HRE will be happier. |

I always did it turn 1? But I gave great generals and I pretty much completely knock out denmark by turn 3 |

Now my new dilemma is a 3-star country for 1806. I’m doing it with Britain and it’s going well, but I don’t think I will get a A-rank. France still has occupied Portugal and a small territory in Africa, while Spain has occupied Morocco. Egypt is still on the fray and the Ottomans have most of the Middle East under their control.   |

 B-rank. Was expecting a C. I was likely on the verge of getting a C, though. |

I think that even though your idea sounds great, I find declaring war on italy turn 1 better. If you don’t, italy lasts till round 20 + that is a very bad thing. I’d say it drags the conquest on an extra 5-7 more rounds, maybe more, than needed. I do appreciate coming up with nrw strategies though. |

Finally got an A-rank with a 3-star country in 1806! The country is...  ...AUSTRIA! The so-called “punching bag of Europe”! It was pretty unexpected, to be honest. I saw that if I could play the first 15-20 turns (which are the fiercest) well, France and its allies would become vulnerable to a massive counterattack. And it’s what happened. TBH, I was afraid due to the description of Cyrus the Great about Austria. In the end, though, it turned out fine. I declared war on Saxony and Warsaw. They were defeated soon after. Saxony's defeat provided me with an important strategic point to fend the French and Confederates off. Warsaw's defeat saved Prussia and made it easier for Russia to send help. The Ottomans weren’t difficult. In 10 turns, all of their European cities were taken and they were forced to retreat to the Middle East. This allowed me to send help to Sicily. After some intense fighting, Rhine was gone, and France's northern army was defeated, severely weakening the country. Fortunately, Sweden didn’t have difficult dealing with Denmark. I was able to fund them a little, but the Russians had their back the whole time. Prussia, which still held the majority of its territory and had captured Duchy of Warsaw's most important cities, managed to capture Copenhagen, dealing a critical blow to Denmark's economy and lowering their morale. This gave the Swedish a chance to launch a massive attack. After a while, Denmark-Norway was occupied and they only had Greenland left, essentially putting the country in life support. The Prussians managed to capture Amsterdam, knocking the Dutch out. With all threats to Russia, Sweden, Prussia and Austria removed, it was time to attack France and its remaining allies. Sicily was on the offensive, and with my help, Italy was defeated. Sardinia didn’t manage to survive, but they delayed the French long enough to prevent them from sending help to Italy. Egypt wasn’t that much of a problem. They tried to attack Sicily, but the Sicilians intercepted them at the sea. They also tried to recapture Athens, but I had built some ships and thwarted their attempt. Morocco got occupied by the Spanish after fierce resistance. This distracted the Spanish long enough to prevent them from sending troops to the Italian front. Nearly all of the Spanish generals were dead and their king was on very little HP. I split my army into two forces. One, commanded by Murat, went to the western front attack France and Spain. The other, commanded by Blucher, went to attack the Ottoman Empire. Britain had managed to land, and their generals provided big help. Their admirals protected the combined army from being attacked by enemy reinforcements via sea, and they also attacked coastal cities to weaken them. Once France and Spain were nearly dead, Britain sent a small fleet to capture Greenland, putting a definite end to Denmark. Russia helped my eastern army capture the Ottoman cities. The Sicilians defeated Egypt after some fierce fighting. They also established a base of operations on Morocco, allowing the combined army to land there and defeat the Spanish Empire, ending the conquest. This was one of the most entertaining conquests I had done because all of my allies played a key role. Nobody was useless. |

Yeah, Austria is actually pretty good in 1806. All the coalition states, except Prussia and Sardinia, has a pretty easy time there. AI Sweden can beat Denmark pretty consistently now as Sweden moves before Denmark in 1806. Sicily is pretty strong and can beat Italy 1v1, Austria has to essentialy beat Rhine while fending off the Ottomans which they can do with Russian support, and Morocco can stand up to Spain if Spain gets distracted and sends troops to help France.
I've seen Austria almost single handedly take out the entirety of the Balkans, wreck Rhine, and beat France in some of my 1806 Morocco runs.

Know this,bong boy.
Getting an 3 star 1806 is not so impressive,we all done it.
Go for 1812 or 1816 then show us something.😊

You see, those A-rank requirements were giving me a huge headache, and I’m finally happy that it’s over. Yet I’m not strong enough to get one in 1812 or 1816. Only after I beat the main campaigns and most of my roster is upgraded. |

I've seen Austria almost single handedly take out the entirety of the Balkans, wreck Rhine, and beat France in some of my 1806 Morocco runs. With AI Morocco, I have experienced 3 different scenarios: 1) Spain defeats Morocco and sends troops to help France (Worst case scenario, as this will delay the combined army on the western front and Spain will be stronger than before). 2) Spain defeats Morocco, but they get distracted long enough to prevent them from sending troops to Spain since their economy is weakened due to all of that fierce fighting. 3) Morocco kicks the Spanish out of Africa and starts an invasion (Best case scenario. Your ally is still strong and now you have more help to deal with the Spanish, even if the invasion happens to be small). |
