War In 1700

[SilentSam]

-New Russian troops (30,000) enter Poland to help fortify Vilinus and Lwow.
-Russians now move to Warshaw, attacking the Prussians from the undefended rear. By attacking to Prussians, who are containing the Polish (who still cannot do anything except burn through supplies), Russains hope to injure two sides at once.

The Polish are basically out by now, (they were never chosen so they never were meant to win).
And it's Warsaw, not Warshaw.

-Russians capture and interrogate Prussrian officers
-Continue to inflict casualties
-Are getting hungry

[Izeroth]

-Russians capture and interrogate Prussrian commanders

OOC: Could you change it to Prussian officers? It seems a little implausible to me that the Russians would be able to capture the commander (who spends most of his time in the heavily-guarded center of the army) and transport him back over enemy lines so easily.

•Prussian troops break through the gates of Warsaw, engaging in melee combat with the starving residents of the city.

I would like to send aid to the most esteemed city of Venice from the Ottoman heretics, but I fear the cost will be high. I will allow Venetian ships to trade with us, while preserving peace in Italy. - Signed, King Ashenwyte of Valledo.

-French Ships sail up the Channel and around Northern Europe as the conflict in Poland continues. They land on the Northern edge of Poland and troops disembark loaded with supplies and weapons. One third of the force containing some Twenty Thousand French troops march on Riga a small Polish port city. They claim the undefended city with ease capturing all supplies and shipping there. The second third marches though the Courland territory claiming towns and castles along the way. The final third marches straight into Poland setting up what they call the French-Polish Borer allowing refugees from the war to flee into the protected zone promising them safety from the combatants.-

I am sending 100,000 troops through Russia to help in Poland. They were ready early because I got many troops from Denmark and Norway when I captured them.
