Hi,
Playing a GC as Austria, something extremely odd happened. The year turned 1866, and per event I got the Prussian leadership question. Since I knew that it was coming, I had secured my alliances and had sufficient divisions along the border. So I chose the chalenge option A), instead of the back down option B). Prussia didn't back down either, and declared war.
All my allies honored the alliances I had, and all declared war on Prussia. Well, I marched in with all my bordering divisions. At first all went well. My first two divisions made contact with a defending Prussian division and started shooting.
This went on for a while, until the Prussian division's morale went, and it retreated. Upto this point, I had 5 other armies trying to occupy undefended Prussian border provinces, and my allies were attacking from the west and the north.
Now the weird part. After that first win in combat, my armies simply stopped, as if I was no longer at war. Prussian armies were running around back and forth in all those provinces I was trying to occupy. Each time one of those moved in any of those provinces, the Occupied % reset to zero, and occupation would restart, but with a Prussian flag, not mine. My troops were completely ignored.
After a couple of months like this, the Prussian divisions were destroyed in combat with armies from my allies like Bavaria and the UK. Well, occupation still didn't go forward. Instead, it would reset to my ally's flag whenever an army of an ally would show up alongside of mine. Control went to my allies instead of me in all those cases.
I could tell I was still at war with Prussia, because the Prussia AI would send me peace offers from time to time, offering to cede provinces to my allies, like France and Bavaria.
I finally abandoned that game, and reverted to the autosave, which was saved at jan 1, 1866, only a couple of days before the war broke out. (Un)fortunately, in this remake Prussia backed down instead of DoW'ing me, and I forgot to make a save of this extremely weird situation.
