1494-1599 Italian Wars

[Spain]

@austria: That sounds like an excellent idea, I was actually considering that when I was doing the initial plotting by myself. I will let you know when we actually get started so you can start looking things up. <3

Did I hear the Italian Wars?!~

I think I did! I would be more than happy to play them out with you guys! It would be a lot of fun. Did we want to start with the first one or should we randomly select an Italian War that would be most convenient and go from there?

Just let me know what you would like to do!~

[Spain]

YES YOU HEARD RIGHT. Anyway, I would like to start with the first war for continuity sake and because I can see the effects of the first war seeping into the second one and so forth (mostly between France and Spain).

I think that we will need to establish a posting order and based off of what I know, it seems appropriate for France to start this thread -- what do you guys think?

[venecianovargas]

Sounds good to me!~ : D

[France]

Count me in, guys. ^^ I do need to catch up on replying to this round of posts first, but then I can start you guys off. I'm afraid I fail at starter posts most days, but I shall try. *Salutes*

[Spain]

All right! That sounds good to me. Well, I guess we'll count on France posting first. Based on the historical information, I would say that the first war would involve:

France
N. Italy
S. Italy (for the sacking)
Spain
Holy Roman Empire (one of us can probably mod it, I'd ask Austria, but she seems really busy).
So... I'm looking at this and we can make this... a very long thread. It seems like there's the initial discussion where Milan encourages France to invade Naples, the actual invasion, the formation of the League of Venice, and the fighting.

NOW! That brings me to my next question, do we want to do ALL of it in one thread or do several mini threads. From what it looks like, if it is one continuous thread, we're not all going to be in the thread at the same time. So Milan and France would be alone in the thread for a while, joined in by Romano for the invasion (unless we decide to just mention it in passing) and then everyone else in the thread.

I think we should make separate threads so it doesn't get too confusing. In that case we can make them short and sweet and fill them with as much historical accuracy as we can fit in. Also, if we do it this way then it can play out faster and many people won't be waiting. I hope this helps.
