I should probably outline my oproposal fully, since as Berkut notes that appears to be my job, not the Coalition's:
(1) Russia returns Warsaw to prussian control
(2) Prussia gets the use of the Parliament card this turn, unless a pressing issue forces Britain to give it away to another power, in which case it becomes Prussia's dibs in turn 3.
(3) Prussia joins the coalition, raises the landwehr, and commences operations against france
(4) Prussia will do its best to get Turkey into the Coalition.

Does Russia agree?

So we are just waiting on grumbler to declare his camp. Hopefully he will Do The Right Thing.

He has the choice of fighting the french alongside the russians and austrians this turn, or fighting them alone next turn.

Good point. I am sure Russia will Do The Right Thing as well.

Isn't that right viking?

Russia joining the Imperial Camp is much more desirable for France than Prussia joining the Imperial Camp. I will not pay Prussia to do the right thing. Prussia will do the right thing or not. I suggest Prussia find he plunder in Westphalia rather than demanding that Russia give Prussia back the Poles she cannot oppress herself.

Russia will NOT give Prussia Warsaw.

Prussia can now make a proposal to the Imperial Camp, if they wish.

Way to go Russia.

Well Viking, you may have just handed Habs the game. You better be prepared to crush the Prussians if they join France.

Del - well, what can I say? Sorry about the impending demolition of your nation.

Yada yada yada. Grumblers proposal is in effect "give me everything you can theoretically give me and I'll join you".



As it happened.

Consider Warsaw my price for not doing a Tilsit before the fall of Austrai.

Of course it is - why would he ask for anything less? You don't seem to understand how the process works - you cannot negotiate with him. You cannot say "No, I won't give up Warsaw, join us anyway". He makes an offer, and we accept it or not. If not, he doesn't join. He cannot respond with a new offer.

Water under the bridge.

If he joins the French, you are going to have to crush him though, while we try desperately to keep Austria somewhat solvent. There is a reason Prussia can ask for "everything".

It does create an interesting choice for grumbler though. He can stay neutral, or he can join France. Staying neutral is rather boring though. Joining France pretty much always results in a France win, at least in my experience.

Of course, damn near everything in this game seems to result in France winning, so who really knows?

Anyway, it is on grumbler now...

Thought about this a bit, and will stay neutral during the interphase.  I will also place 4 CUs in Berlin with my 8 CP.

Excellent.  We can move on to deployment, now.

France has Massena go back to Paris to grab 6 CUs and then deploy back to Zurich.

As a reminder, Turkey also builds 2 CUs in its capital with its reinforcement points.

Britain's up to deploy, though the continentals should feel free to post their deployments as well unless they think it might be impacted by someone besides me.

Once deployments are done, we're off to the first impulse, which will be Austria since Britain was the last to play last turn.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Just need Viking and Del's deployment.

Grumbler has one as well, if he wishes to use it, but it isn't necessary to get his before we begin the turn.

When was the last time anybody did a file? I'm beginning to lose track here. I think I don't need to deploy anything.
