Cooperative MP with Germain minors

[Sabre Man]

I would like a cooperative game with German minors uniting in fighting the big powers. Selectable countries may include Saxony, Brandenburg, Pommern, Mecklenburg and Prussia, or any other 1 province German states in that area if you have a specific preference.

Would prefer to play daytime Europe during the week for maybe 1-2 hours a day.

Anyone interested?

I'd be really interested in 8 player 50 year scenario in which the players have to form germany or France, or Italy. That could be a great game.- a fun interlude between the heaviness of big campaigns

This idea sounds interesting, I'd like to participate. However, I wonder whether there's a specific reason for not allowing Bavaria or you just forgot it? Otherwise, I'd suggest to make Brandenburg, Bavaria, the Palatinat, Saxony, Hannover, Cologne, Mainz (the seven german electors in the game) and possibly Austria that is either forbidden to do any annexations or limited in some other way (e.g. by a modified scenario that has Tyrol and Styria independent at start), which would turn it into a "HRE simulation" game, playable.

The reason I didn't include Bavaria is it's position near Austria. If Bavaria is included I think Wurzburg must also be included. My idea was to have a group of adjacent mostly 2 province states (easier to play than most 1 province states) forming an alliance and taking on the world. With most of the small 1 province states I guess it would be very expensive and take a long time to field decent armies.

Another interesting option would be starting in southern Europe with Genoa, Mantua, Savoy and Switzerland, with France in the west and Austria/Venice in the east. That would be a tough game I suppose. I think my original German states would make for a relatively easy game with many opportunities for annexing smaller neighbours before taking on the big countries.
