Europe battles and diplomacy heat rising in Feb updates
Reports from Petersbourg to Milan describe a planned 100000 man army in conquered provinces, preparations of heavy artillery, pacification talks with the Republic of the United Provinces, and court intrigues at Versailles. Berlin mentions promotions and a possible pacification congress as Va leri faces courier difficulties. Antwerp notes a Brussels blockade and a successful breach, with Swiss regiment colors hung and garrison moves to Arras and Lille. Montpelier reports Spanish reinforcements for Italy, while Mantua and Ferrara exchange fresh Austrian aid. Milan recounts Count de Gages feint and crossing Teffino with 22000 troops, threatening Austrian positions at Borgomanero and Oleggio. Lichtenstein pulls back to Novara as action looms.
