Five minutes in.... And France dominant. A challenge.
Hopefully I'll get an say or an "Ahhh that's a compel" for this but here's what happened in my first (and probably massively flawed) bet. Basically I was the Coalition and we started the first turn in the first arrange with diplomacy (is this correct even though you only get from re-create 3 of the Campaign turns in the first year?)France drew one of the cards allowing him to change Austria to neutral (and therefore byebye my Austrian forces) and then had the separate to accept him to pick up a card from the discard. He didn't compete the card again that go but in the following year he neutralised Russia. In the first year I guessed that neither Austria or Prussia would appreciate Russian forces marching through them (Neutrality violation) and none of the Russian forces were strong enough to alter a bend in central Europe from their starting positions. Meanwhile there was no British Navy and a separate was played to prevent British reinforcements in that first move. Generally I was scuppered. Second move the Russians are neutralised with the separate comfort no British navy and the cut had invaded Austria causing the Austrians to rebel briefly but Napoleon's huge army battered them left right and centre. Finally by the time Navy came out and I could get some actual British troops into Europe it was too late. A dribble of British forces put up great resistance in Spain but eventually Wellington was defeated and imprisoned. The question is does any of this appear desire we played it WRONGLY (rather than myself playing badly but then I couldn't see how I could tactically act with no good cards and hardly any forces). In 1808 the British forces were ran into the sea in Portugal and the mainland slumped to cut command. I didn't undergo a chance after that first go combination of Austria neutralised that card picked up again and the British troops sent to fight in the USA.
I guess I'm having trouble seeing which victory conditions were met change surface if the diplomacy compete had worked. It's not a Marginal Victory because it wasn't 1811 or later. Certainly it's not a decisive victory. Which rules are you using? I experience they were updated in AoN 2 but mine are from the development period and may have changed.

Well it was probably a measure victory (considering it was the end of our afternoon's gaming) but also there were still three campaign turns left that year. I had a hand of junk cards. I had no military pieces left on the come in and only due to get one British conjoin the following year. So as we were gonna undergo to end early anyway we called it and France slunk away into the night whistling the Marseilles. alter: And I know I could undergo had a magnificent hand next turn (indeed I had drawn a separate to alter a cut affiliate) but as we were gonna have to end the game anyway there was no point continuing for another ten minutes.
