Alright, let me know if you are going to

Okay, so since France is probably going to drop out, I'm going to have a post later today. I'm debating whether I should have my forces barely win against the French or lose and retreat. I know IRL Egypt lost at the Battle of the Pyramids but this isn't the same Egypt...

If he's gonna drop out lets say you barely win and Napoleon pulls back to France.

Then I will scour around for a player to take up the mantel, or just rp as France until we get said player

Okay, so I'll just barely defeat Napoleon; Napoleon will realize he can't succeed in Egypt and flees before the Brits arrive in the North. Then me and Britain will take care of the rest of the French, sign a peace agreement and then I'll probably end up in the 2nd Coalition.

Oh boy, if France is leaving, that means I'm gonna be stuck alone on the Italian boot.

Can I reserve Sardinia-Piedmont?

Stephaniesland wrote:Can I reserve Sardinia-Piedmont?

sure

Nation Name: Kingdom of Sardinia
Leader: Charles Emmanuel IV
Type of Government: Semi-Constitutional Monarchy
Territory: Post-1796 Treaty of Paris borders
Population: 941,720 (Note: I'm relying on Victoria 2 stats for this)
Army Size and breakdown: 14,000 under Michelangelo Colli-Marchi
Navy size and breakdown: 2 Xebecs, 2 Galleys and 3 Half-Galleys
Main trading partners/ allies: Forced into only trading with France and her allies
Current position on Napoleon (allied, against, neutral): Allies under duress
Major domestic issues: Due to the French victories, there is slow rising support for a fully constitutional monarchy and even slight support for republicanism
Major foreign issues: Forced into allowing French troops to have free access through her lands and will probably be expected to join France in a potential War of the Second Coalition. Currently looking for any way to escape from France's diplomatic and military stranglehold. Also, there are desires to unite Italy, but these are secondary to wanting to deal with Napoleon.

History: When the First Coalition was called, Sardinia was extremely quick to join. The threat of republicanism loomed large in the minds of many of the Sardinian and Piedmontese nobility. Unfortunately, due to a series of military blunders, Sardinia was forced to sign the humiliating Treaty of Paris in 1796. The treaty forced Sardinia to cede Savoy and Nice to the French and allow French troops free access through Piedmont. An especially humiliating clause also forced Sardinia to follow France in her foreign policy and to adopt the franc as her currency. After the death of Vittorio Amadeo III, his son, Charles Emmanuel IV, took to the throne and quickly engaged in reforms designed to appease the French. He adopted a new constitution, which established an appointed Senate and an elected Chamber of Deputies. It also guaranteed equal rights to all citizens and clearly stated the role and powers of the King. Charles is currently planning on using the French alliance to gain as much of Northern Italy as possible before switching sides and opposing Napoleon.

Not only can Britain do so, but they have already done so in a quite spectacular fashion. The IRL Napoleonic wars proved it as Britain fought in Europe, India, and the Americas simultaneously with successes and victories in all three theaters. The Seven Years War played out similarly with Britain fighting on multiple continents and still winning despite being massively outnumbered.

Lessons have been learned from previous wars, and Britain also has the advantage of being the most industrialized country in the world at this time. If there is any country that can fight on multiple, fronts across oceans, and against multiple formidable enemies, it's likely the UK.

The only thing the British won't confront are dentists.

Dentists?

Yes. It is well known that if someone from the UK encounters a dentist, they run away.

In the next couple of days will be posting.

Chances are, you have nice teeth unlike the others.

I'll have a new post tomorrow. I'm trying to figure out how to get the British to land in Northern Egypt, and what the Southern Army is gonna be doing...

Alright, I think I'm going to be withdrawing from the RP. I think Napoleon defeating you is the most realistic thing to happen, and the most interesting considering the french army will continue to india without him.
