Kicked off a war against Malacca to try and secure my control over all high-development provinces in the trade node, they're allied with Pegu and Ming, I've got Ayutthaya on my side. The plan was to knock out Malacca quickly, then send a modest army to deal with Pegu...

Meanwhile my Malacca Army has taken Pegu's capital and is seizing their remaining land to try and force them out early--once they're done, they can help Ayutthaya beat back Ming. My Imperial Army, which is recruiting reinforcements in Siak, will join them soon.

so it looks very approximately like this--I have about 90,000 men in two armies in the first pic, and about 80,000 in two armies in the secondpic.twitter.com/qOpYhlRy1t

This is my tentative plan...but naturally it depends on whether or not I can accomplish the prerequisite positions (eg retaking the defensive line in Ayutthaya) Might be better to send the Kanto Army to Hangzhou; if they're in Beijing then SE Korea won't work well as baitpic.twitter.com/bljfovhQpU

It's entirely possible that I'm already in way over my head and haven't realized it yet. But so far, no major losses...gotta see it through!

One last note, on intended gains: - mostly want land from Malacca, specifically their namesake province and the area around Aceh (war goal is "Take Melaka") - Pegu is small and I want a foothold there, if not all of it - might try to get Canton from Ming, but that's about it

Balance of power--you can see what I mean about geographical advantage here...Ming can bring a greater force to bear on a particular location much more easily than I can; I have to push inwards from 3 directions at once (and lots of my men are tied down in colonies)pic.twitter.com/huCY6HXKJS
