Awww the smaller game system where its gonna be just YATS with german is not what I signed up for, I wanted a grand game where the whole of europe is played, where I can under the weight of Russian boots and cossacks whips crush the hopes and dreams of Liberal players, make REMOVINGS OF KEBAB, hunt down socialists, build a glorious army and makes that the 3 eagles of the Holy alliance fly over all of Eurasia
I had a whole giant starting RP written out about how Alexander the I would be killed in a decemberist revolt and a counter coup would be launched by Nicholas the first and the Cossacks and a cabal of right wring, reactionary officers would crush the rebels.
As a result, Nicholas the first would launch a new series of reforms to build a "Novi Rossyia". A huge series of repressions and confiscation of land would be launched against the nobility, as would pogroms against 'Undesireable elements" The procedes from such movements would be to give some of the peasants land(as to the serfs, the Tzar is their father, and he shall provide for them). The labor of the serfs owned directly by the tzar and state funds would be put to buy techonlogy from england to expand the mines and metalworking of the Urals, the infrastructure of Russia, the arms industry, and to reorganize and expand the army on the Prussian model.
After a year or so, the newly expanded Russian state would start a series of provocations and forced conversions or expulsions among muslims in the empire and the Caucasian tribes would be brought to hell, as would a expedition be mounted to bring the rebellious central Asians into the fold of the Empire. Also fortifications would be built in major Russian towns and among the borders of the empire to help guard the People of Russia from revolutionary contagion and Russian troops would be available to any sovereign in Europe who was fighting leftist-Revolutionary scum
Though if we have to do the Prussian game, I'll play as a Polish revolutionary who served in Napoleons Imperial Lancers and will stop at nothing to free Mother Poland of German and Russian occupation.
