Have a Happy Holiday Friday!

[JudgeDredd]

Shite....met a couple of old army pals in the town last night and bollox if I do not have the head of the devil himself on me this morning.

Walked home in the freezing cold too...all 4 miles!

You UK people put us to shame with your drinking and walking 500 miles to fall down at your door.

^I call that 'yesterday morning.' Then I went out with the family last night to the local German restaurant and gorged myself on a wurst platter and more beer! We (I) expect more from JD. Work on it.

[BanzaiCat]

Yet another thing I miss about the north - German restaurants. And real seafood that didn't come from the Gulf of Yoo-Hoo, for that matter.

[Gusington]

^My first time, to be honest. But delicious wursts, pierogies, sauer kraut, beer, spetzel...and an accordion player named Lenny. Lenny rocked.

He actually rocked - like a one-man Hayseed Dixie? And was the beer bier?

Just finished up my third war against France in EUIV. Unlike the previous two I couldn't call in my allies; Brandenburg, Poland (with Lithuania), and Castile, so I had to rely on myself and my two vassal Hungary and Burgundy. I need not have worried, France got pulverized. Burgundy alone was able to take out a good portion of the French army with me doing most of the rest of the work.

With that many allies, I'm a bit surprised even the Big Blue Blob™ attacked you. 

Of course you must've rubbed Poland-Lithuania and Castile the wrong way recently.  Maybe the AI thought that was it's opportunity.  Or was France also allied with them?

The reason I couldn't call my allies is because of how the CB's and the war system was changed in art of war. not only if your considered a co-belligerent by the attacking country will you be able to call your allies in. it prevents the really weird and often annoying alliance chains you used to get in previous versions of the game

France was going after Champagne who they were forced to release in a previous war and who I had an alliance with and was guaranteeing the independence of. not sure why I wasn't a co-belligerent.

I just finished annexing Hungary. Been a good weekend for Austria.
