Well finished my campaign, my grand coalition fell apart but luckily Austria came down on my side instead of against. Brutal war with Poland lasting about 60-80 turns (15-20 years with the game mod) after initial quick gains in sure the computer was cheating as with about 15 territories in Central Europe/North Africa they were churning out mega stacks non stop. Eventually broke them when they actually snuck attack my army locking down France. 4.5k of them vs 1.2k of mine, I lost and my army was wiped out but I took out around 3.7k of them in the process, snatched 3 territories they diverted troops away from Italy to shore up and I took Italy and that was that. Final battle was in Algiers they had 6k against 10k of mine, monster battle

I then declared war on Austria and crushed them swiftly.
Loved the game, will replay again at some point. Few minor frustrations I hate when you fight huge battles on the battle map (like the last battle in Algiers) and instead of all troops on the map it drip feeds them in when units die to keep overall numbers down. On old TW games everyone would be on the map at once

I liked the 4 turn per year mod but found it slow at the end, I had 40 years with no enemies just clicking continue, was irritating
Great game though, never played through Shogun 2 so that's next!
