Overview

The whole scenario is built up to see Prussia rising to the first of the equals and the birth of the German Empire. The scenario introduces Prussian Landtag, which is a political side-game played partly with the combat rules of the traditional EiA, with all the flavors of the Otto von Bismarck's infamous Blood and Iron speech.

Player notes and hints

Austria
There's little hope of surviving the Prussian attack. Seek conditional surrender. You may later wish to join the German juggernaut.

Britain
French navy is scary, but you have some time to consolidate your position. Port raids are definitely on the drawing board.

France
Dig in for the Prussian attack and seek Russian alliance. If the Austrians bleed the Prussians enough and Italy comes over to your side, you can win.

Italy
Prussia will ask your help against Austria. Price tag is Venice. If you can stay under the British anti-navy radar, you have a lot of good options.

Prussia
Temptation to completely crush Austria is great, but consider carefully. Austria might be friendly later... but you really really want his freestates. Choices choices.
If Russia so much as threatens an intervention, use railroads to march east and crush his armies immediately.

Russia
You desperately need time to build your army. Make friendly noices and build.

Turkey
Russia and Austria are both tempting targets and Prussia will make a good long term ally. If your economy wasnt a total mess, you could actually succeed.
