Prussia,
You cannot sustain this. The only way to beat France (especially early) is via attrition. You have to keep your army in big stacks, and ignore the minors. Why are you declaring war on minors when France started at war with you? Let France do the DoWs and spend the PPs. Why has Hohenloe stacked with 1 corps? He should be stacked with 4 at least. You have the ideal opportunity to hit Massena with his one corps, but you need to hit him hard. Stay away from Napoleon.
Austria,
Nero fiddled while Rome burned. What game are you playing? Who do you think is going to be next after France wallops Prussia? The combined *Austrian and Prussian* armies can beat the French, early in the game. Not if they aren't combined, though.
Sorry about the kibbitzing, it just pains me to see the central powers played so badly.
