That's surprisingly low. I thought the Russians alone had sustained more casualties than that :P

Russia has suffered 1/3 of the casualties.

Well Britain has only lost 11k so far. France barely 3k I think. The only casualties is really Austria for us.

This is correct. The allies are at 100,200 and the Eighth Coalition is at 205,470. (Also note that I have not added Mexico, China, and Japan in these numbers).

Yup. Mexicos lost very few troops. They be climbing in Dutch windows. Hide your kids. Hide ya slaves. They be freeing them all over the place.

Against Andorra.

Hopefully nobody read my post before I fixed the spelling/grammar. Some of the stuff I said made no sense before I fixed it.

Remove Kebab?

[Pepperm1nts]

End the war, with a side of remove kebab.

[Outcast]

Um, no. Sorry, but I'm vetoing this one.

Austria was just in a war with Prussia. Notice how they always found conscription easy? That's because the public supported war with Prussia. Immediately ending that war then declaring war on your former allies is not ok. You can have the treaty, but no removing kebab just yet.

^ Should everyone send in another round of war orders?

Welp, there goes that.

So Boerd and I talked a lot before this decision was made. I don't want to throw him under the buss, but I was reluctant. He convinced me it'd work though, and I didn't see why not (maybe because I just joined and I don't have a full understanding of the situation). But the justification is partly in the post - there is nothing for Austria to gain from continuing to compete with Prussia for Germany. That is pretty much lost to Austria. The best they can do now is cement their power. A way to do that is by allying itself with who will inevitably become the major power in Europe (Prussia), helping form a "only Germans/Austrians allowed" zone in central Europe where it can exercise a lot of its influence, and take land from the south (since it can't have anything to its north). Hence remove kebab.

If you are still not convinced, I guess I understand. But you'll have to forgive me for not knowing all the details. No body really gave me any in-depth rundowns and I had to dig bits here and there by asking everyone myself.

Honestly, I understand the ruling Outcast put down myself, but figuring all of the other things that have transpired during the course of this RP it is still a surprise. Convenient for the allies though.

[Pepperm1nts]

Heh, yeah. Not taking jabs or being snarky, but Turkey getting the help of China through a "blood-relation" seemed waaaaay less plausible. Like, way less.

EDIT: Or Turkey getting the support of China under any circumstances, really.

EDIT: Also, how is the treaty okay, but not the war support? They are both a a military alliance. In fact, the alliance clearly states that members can call for assistance. In this case, Prussia is calling for the assistance of Austria, and Austria is accepting it because it actually has something to gain from it.

What players are in the eighth coalition?

Italy, Prussia, Russia, Spain, Netherlands. I think that's it.

I'd add Greece as well, but that could change at any moment considering, rofl.

I already ninja'd you. :D

Also, seen by the most recent Austria post, those Germans are so fickle. :D (Greece's king is German)

First, you still have a military alliance with the Ottoman Empire, so its bad taste declaring war on the Ottomans. Second, while your rulers might be willing to join the war against the allies, your subjects will be the ones who will be fighting the war. Austria just got out of the war. I doubt they would want to get back into it, especially against their "old" allies.

[Rare]

Don't ask why I ask about why I wanted to know about who is in the eighth coalition...
