CAMPAIGN ANNO DOMINI 1740

[awesum4]

Both very hard fought battles. The Danish are hampered by not having any medium or heavy artillery, or any of those pesky light horse hussars.
However a 10% (open battle) or 15% (defensive battle) disadvantage in numbers makes it very hard to not lose to a Major attack.

Defensive (for Gribol) battle in Gelderland

Gribol commanding British-Hanowerian alied forces (defenders), win over the French commanded by Ironclad (attackers) with the losses 13:41
In French assault on Gelderland (major attack).

Thank you for this crazy battle!

[Lysimachos]

Any news, Gentlemen, about the other battle between the Anglo_Hanoverian and the French?

The order for the 2nd turn is the following:

Bavaria (markleslie),
France (Ironclad),
Anglo_Hanoverian (gribol),
Austrians (Lysimachos),
Danish (awesum4).

Gentlemen, make your moves (and remember the 36 hours deadline from the beginning of the turn at 22.00 hr. of the 21st April)!

[markleslie]

Bavarian turn 2

- Taxation
- Standard Attack from Baden to Hannover (Open Battle).

In support of our French brothers, and in opposition to the reckless conduct of the Anglo-Hano Ogre Gribol,the Elector, in consultation with his advisors, has decided on a fiscally responsible intervention to restore the borders of France and the peace Europe once enjoyed.

[Lysimachos]

Excuse me, Gentlemen, but I made a mistake in calculating the finances of all nations, except Anglo-Hanover.

They all have in their tresasury 65.000 Thalers (60.000 Th. of initial disposition + 40.000 Th. for the taxation move made by everybody - 35.000 Th. for the major attacks of Austria, Danemark and France or the fortification of Bavaria).

Now the campaign summary has been accordingly corrected and markleslie has the right to rethink his moves taking into account the revised situation. The new 36 hrs. deadline starts at 12.00 hr. of the 22nd April.

Ironclad is requested to wait in making his moves until markleslie has made clear if he makes new moves or confirm the previous ones

[markleslie]

It seems unsporting to launch a Major Attack when the defender is at such a large disadvantage, not to mention the expense.

I'm happy to keep my orders.

[Lysimachos]

Excuse me for the big mess I'm making with the mathemical calculations, but there is another mistake I made.

France has now 55.000 Th. and not 65.000 Th. because the 10.000 Th. gained by the Anglo-Hanoverian after their strategic victory are taken from the defeated enemy treasury.

So Ironclad, please, take into account the finances as reviewed above
