Prussian Empire vs 3 AI (completed)

[Tac2i]

I started this game with my Delayed War Mod which prevents a declaration of war for at least three turns (small chance it could happen earlier). My plan is to use this breathing room to mobilize my armies, conduct some research and prepare for war. Best case is that only one AI initially declares war on me and the two remaining AI battle each other. In this game I share long borders with both Charlemagne and Tokyo Territory. If they both should go to war with me at the same time, well that could be rough going for awhile.

NOTE: This game is on sale thru January 10th for $14.99. Even if you are mostly a historical simulation gamer, you owe it to yourself to get this wargame. Sometime when you are not in the mood for an historical battle, fire this classic up and make history instead for refighting it (though there are some historical scenarios available). Disclosure: Yes, I'm a BIG fan of the random game engine of ATG, even if the AI isn't the greatest.

The Diplomatic Block is lifted. I like the added tension this creates. The AI doesn't declare war immediately but you aren't sure just when it will happen.

Whew! Eastern Empire declared war on Tokyo Territory. Prussian Empire still under extreme pressure. Must hold on long enough for the Eastern Empire to make itself felt against the Japanese.

Desperate and brutal fighting...

Playing a random game with the Depleted Land option set is definitely a challenging fight.
