Turn 4
K

- P army defeats a puny army in Silesia.
A
- Bot Card Unrest. Removes unrest.
Turn 5
K
- Unrest. Removes unrest.
B
- Declares war on PRUSSIA. TAkes a free recruit action (could’ve choosen to move instead, but with only one infantry it would’ve been suicide!). Now they have an army of 2 regular inf and one merc inf. John II had to take a loan for that!
P
- Siege Silesia.
A
- Recruits a new army and marches in the defense of the Empire. The armies meet in WIELKOPOLSKA.
