Russia has a similar situation as Austria, you'll spend more time keeping the Empire together than just cheer at sidelines

Which is strange, as this is not really historic as far as I remember (in 19th century that is).

It was a daily routine for every empire back then

Bloody idiot, I was producing 5 times the amount of cotton needed by my textile mills, but I wasn't exporting any

And the booze, and the fruit and the cattle

The increased export from Austria should make me some money and destroy the world economy

I think the Crimean war just started

The United Kingdom find ourselves in a quandry. Whilst on the one hand we feel willing to assist the Ottoman Empire against this unprovoked attack by the savage Russian beast...however on the other hand we do have to remember that it has not even been a year since the Ottoman Empire savagely attacked our friends in Greece.

As such, the United Kingdom is inclined to monitor developments closely.

(that, and I have no idea how the combat in this thing works, and I'd probably just wind up in a war against Russia that I cannot win)

How this game ridiculously follows history, you should win this war just by taking Sevastopol and nothing else. I'm also guessing that by occupying 3/4 of Russia and nothing in Crimea means you loose it.

I wonder if Austria gets a CB to assist Russia. Russians tried to get Austrians on their side. Caused a lot of resentment because Austria decided to stay out of this war, despite Russia helping them pacify a Hungarian revolt just years earlier.

Oh, and I decided to start writing this AAR as an AAR. Trough the eyes of different people in the Empire, chronicling event's trough their own eyes.

January 1852.
I arrived almost a month ago. I slipped trough the border at new years. And about time. I hear there's a war between Russia and the heathens to the south. A band of gypsies helped me cross and now I live in a place called Galicia. I may try to find a job in Lviv when the snow thaws.
But for now I'll just stay in this village. The people are nice and my late husband worked as a Russian-German translator and he taught me the language.

I hope trading the double eagle of the Romanovs for the double eagle of the Habsburgs wasn't a mistake.
