got bored in this game (EUIII) ... the massive Austrian empire. and yeah my army is massive, the whole French army was destroyed within a year of battles. You see Austria owning Paris after a few wars with France.
probably the most glorious victory of the Red Army (WIF) background : Mother Russia is being invaded in 1941 and suffer a lot of defeats till 1942, where finally the front stabilizes, the Red Army, which being a lot more powerful in 1943, launched a series of counteroffensive on all fronts (north, middle, south) The Gerries are being pushed back, here is one important battle when the Red Army counterattacks... thanks to Hitler's order of "no-retreat" we inflicted a few hundreds of thousands of casualties upon the fascists in a single battle. (as you see their divisions are all down to low strengths)

the front in 1942
i am sure that the bloodiness of my game is no less than that of historical.
