You're in GMT +2 and I am in GMT -6 so the turns will be due to me by 8PM my time, which means they will be 4AM for you. But you can PM them to me at any time before that. I'm thinking that I would like to try at least a 48 gap between turns so if that happens it should give you plenty of time to send and receive message to people during your waking hours. Let me know what you decide.

I never planned to play and host at the same time. That would be weird.

Hey, I see I am already in

I have to correct WEB though, I am an absolute noob in such kind of games. I have played a few times already some table top strategy games or at least watched it, but never one that involved diplomacy.

I give it a try though, I just hope I have the time for it in the next weeks, but I should be able to spend a bit of time at each evening for it.

PS:
I see that Austria is one of the most difficult countries to play. Damn bias, I reckognize that the inventors did not want to see Austria win. Enemy propaganda! jk

Better you give Austria to the best player (aka not me), I want to see it win

Pah!
In the first example no one could stop Napoleon except for the Russian winter and in the latter two just look at a map. Not really a good position to start from...

But if you know Austria, you know it preferred to marry instead of waging war. After all, you don't have to wage wars to gain possessions.

We had already a female head of state, when the Americans were still unaware how to even spell that.

Btw, Serbs are the largest ethnic minority in Austria, I actually do think they respect Austria. They are good people, they just have their problems with the Kosovars in Austria... (and vice versa )

No one, neither Americans, nor Brits are going to invest the time to find out the name of the head of another German duchy or something.
