I have taken over from Austria-Hungary in 1805 in a PBEM to find myself in a disastrous situation:
Napoleon has captured Salzburg and Vienna and Ferdinand is retreating north with his army in disarray. To pour salt on my wounds, the Ogre of Europe is blogging about his victories, and my Archduke is agreeing with him http://thegeneralshq.org/discussions/won-game-2-aar-s#reply-5220! Any the Russians are asking my advice on what they should do!
But that is not the worst of it. My fool generals have split their forces and napoleon is in between them. He can destroy each piecemeal.
The lines show my plan of how to reunite my armies in Buda, but it will take some luck and forced marching (things Boney has in Spades!)
The French Army of Italy is chasing me out. If Boney moves south, I am done for!
Its a bit sad when a chap has to comment on his own posts, but I thought I would inform that for some reason Napoleon gave me very bearable peace terms, so I get to rebuild without loss of life of limb.
