Once again the major powers are at war. Despite feverish efforts to avert war (not), the coalition of Austria, Prussia and Russia have declared war on France and are marching into Germany to try and effect a union of their forces and crush the French and their German allies (or even better, persuade the Germans to dessert).
The generals still seem to be brushing off some of the cobwebs from a lazy summer as most corps have experienced traffic jams on the narrow roads. You would have thought they would know not to march two corps down the same road and also go fast, but you live and learn (or don't)...
Early reports from the front suggest little activity in the east and south other than a lot of footslogging, but there have already been some skirmishes in the north. Could the French be using their central position to some advantage? Our ace reporters from the front will do everything they can to penetrate the fog and bring you the news as it breaks.
