The Grande Armée's March (OOC, Open)

[The Republic of Llamas]

IC
It is January 1, 1805. Europe is gripped in fear as one of the greatest wars of all time is brewing. Napoleon Bonaparte has crowned himself Emperor of France and is at war with the British. The Corsican's unrivaled ambition means that he will not stop until his dreams of conquest and glory are fulfilled. At the same time, Britain readies her armies for what will be the largest war up until this point in history. Austria and Russia prepare to side with the coalition, and Prussia must choose who they will support. In real life, Napoleon was defeated. But now here is the chance for the redemption of the French Empire. Only time will tell what can be done and who will win the Napoleonic Wars. Will you lead the Coalition to victory and prevent a French conquest? Or will the Tricolore unfurl above London? Will the Grand Armèe's march be halted? Or will it reach the ends of Europe? Only you can decide.

Hello! Welcome to the reboot of the reboot of the reboot of the reboot of the Napoleonic Wars RP. We start in 1805, while Europe stands on a knife's edge between the revolutionary ideas of liberalism, newly-established by the French Revolution, and the kings and emperors of old.

I'm planning to RP battles slightly differently than in most RP's. This is because of the fact that this is a war RP, and we will therefore be having a lot of important battles. So, here's how we'll do it: All participants in the battle shall either TG each other or post here in the OOC to decide the winner of the battle, as well as the extent of the victory. Pyrrhic, decisive, etc. When that is decided, the winner shall make an IC post describing the battle in detail, allowing battles to be fought more quickly and efficiently. This person will decide specifics of the battle, but be realistic. No I KILLZ YUR ENTIRE ARMYZ WITHOUT LOSING ANYONE!

Only 3 rules:
1. As the OP, I am god. Yes, you do need to bow.
2. Keep it plausible. (i.e. I don't want a tiny German state that nobody knows about conquering Europe.)
3. Don't be evil.

Anyone can join!If you want to ask any questions about the Napoleonic Wars, send me a TG. Or, you know, use Wikipedia, the awesomest source ever.

[Paketo]

If there is no app, then I just take portugal

[Muldinith]

I'll take UK. Btw, OP I suggest you create an app for players to fill out and also put OOC/Open and something describing the RP in the thread name to attract people. Just a suggestion

[Huntmar]

I call Prussia! I'll join this RP.

[Lunas Legion]

I'm guessing I can't take the Polish Legions since they're not on the list, so...

Barvaria for me then. I would take Russia, but my Internet's dodgy and I don't know when it'll be fixed. If its fixed soon, I'll take Russia instead unless someone else takes it first.

[Conchabira]

I call Austria!

[Jamessonia]

I call Prussia! I'll join this RP.

Whoa! I called Prussia in the planning thread...

[The Republic of Llamas]

App is up. If you called a nation in the planning thread, you may post an app and claim it by the end of tomorrow. After that, it's up for grabs.

[Jamessonia]

Nation Name: Jamessonia
Country You Wish to Play As: Prussia
Description of Army (Training, approximate numbers, etc.): The soldiers of Prussia have very extensive training. The descendants of Frederick the Great, the Prussian army is becoming less progressive, even though they are very adaptive to the use of skirmishers (Jägers) as an important factor in combat. The army is about 200,000 strong, 130,000 being infantry.
Description of Navy (Training, approximate numbers, etc.): Prussia has no navy to speak of. The best it gets is a few ships of the line and some smaller ships.
Description of Economy (What is it based on, how efficient, how large, etc.): Many people are farmers, and the country is very agrarian. Many people are serfs, and farm the land for a powerful landowner class. The economy is fairly efficient, leaving Prussia able to feed itself and survive, even without colonies.
Side(Must be same as IRL, but can change IC): Neutral

Description of Economy (What is it based on, how efficient, how large, etc.): The Prussian economy is fairly industrial, not the the extent of Britain but a close competitor. Many people are farmers, but urban life and development is flourishing. The economy is fairly efficient, leaving Prussia a pretty powerful nation, even without colonies.
Side(Must be same as IRL, but can change IC): Neutral

Change the economy; at the time, Prussia was almost completely based on rural, subsistence agriculture with a few cities sitting upon trade routes. Think about Late Middle Ages economy. Very little had changed; serfs were still bound to the land of their masters, and peasants usually had to pay rent to a landowner to plant crops. After that, you're accepted.

[Saragrossa]

i'll be Mother Russia.

[Paketo]

Nation Name: Paketo
Country You Wish to Play As: Portugal
Description of Army(Training, approximate numbers, etc.):

i was able find this for number of forces. they are very poorly equipped and trained though but hope their long time allies the british would supply them arms.

Description of Navy (Training, approximate numbers, etc.):66 ships of war, 800 officers, 20,000 men. the Portuguese navy is moderately trained after going through many reforms after Portugal's decline in naval power during the late 1600s
Description of Economy (What is it based on, how efficient, how large, etc.): the economy of portugal is largely based on trade with the vast natural resources present in her colonies (spices, silk, dyes, porcelain gems, ivory, timber, oil, diamonds, sugar cane, dyes, woods and gold).

I'm sorry, I probably should have mentioned that UK is reserved for Alleniana. I apologize for forgetting to include that in the OP. You can pick any other nation, though.

[Huntmar]

Nation Name: Huntmar
Country You Wish to Play As: Prussia (I know Jamessonia has already claimed it but he hasn't done what you told him to yet)
Description of Army(Training, approximate numbers, etc.): Königlich Preußische Armee. Initiative, Maneuverable, Aggressive. Fights quickly and efficiently to achieve mostly decisive victories. The army's arsenal is, however, fairly outdated, which is their main weakness. We hope to improve this over time. Around 42,000 men.
Description of Navy (Training, approximate numbers, etc.): Significantly smaller than the army. Naval forces were not focused on due to the position of the nation and lack of defensible borders. Gets help from neighboring countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands. Around 18,000 men.
Description of Economy (What is it based on, how efficient, how large, etc.): Well, as you said, subsistence agriculture with a feudal style; serfs and peasants are the main workforce of the nation, and provide a stable but weak economy.
Side(Must be same as IRL, but can change IC): Neutral for now.

Dang, after all the research,too. I'll have to think about, with all the good States gone

Military is too small and too well trained. IRL, they had lost the military edge that had allowed Frederick the Great to win his spectacular victories, and is now taught methods of fighting that are obsolete, having been developed around 40 years ago. Plus, Jamessonia gets Prussia. Sorry Ike.

Austria is still open, and Russia is going to the first person to make an app. Although it would be awful nice if you were to pass it up and let Lunas take it as the first asker.

TO LUNAS: Should Poland appear in any form, i.e. Duchy of Warsaw or a new Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, you can reapply as it.

You told me that I could stake a claim if he didn't change the stuff you told him too! Don't lie to me, that's not fair! I can change my app, but it's already too late, isn't it? If so, I quit.

What planning page? He just said on the RMB.
EDIT: Oh. Well, I'm assuming you're going to make those changes now...

[Huntmar]

Still, what planning thread are you talking about?
EDIT: Oh. Well you could have told me about that BEFORE I claimed land!
