I don`t feel that there is such big advantage by signing peace. At least in case of unconditional surrender. If I understood game rules correctly this is only surrender that could be accepted by default when offered and in case of cond.surrender it has to accepted by both sides. And unconditional surrender can be harsh for surrendering size - for example if I would choose such surrender from Prussia in early part of the game then by choosing "remove 3 corps" Prussians would be almost without land forces with problems to rebuild them.
But maybe I didn`t get right some game rules and I`m mistaken.
What I`m more concerned about is VP`s. It`s possible to get them only in two ways - through the battles and signing peace after that and through Economic manipulation.

Competitive players are often very young and focused on winning at all cost - they'll seek out such loopholes and exploit them in every way possible.
I'm willing to bet if you visit the dedicated boards of this game, "Glass Wall" strategies are already being discussed at length, I just can't be arsed to check

France for example can surrender to either Russia/Prussia/Austria early-game, no matter the cost - it would allow them 15 months to concentrate the one (or two) ally they have *not* surrendered to and wipe that one of the map.

Strategic surrenders are definitely part of the strategies employed. It is a form of diplomacy used to break up coalitions formed against any one power. It can be painful but effective. Since powers of the day generally kept their terms of surrender and terms were always offered, its a matter of how much pain one will be willing to endure to achieve one's ends through diplomacy.The Purist

A Pause for the weekend
Apologies, Gentlemen,
I had completely forgotten that the lady of the house had booked us for weekend getaway on Mt Assinaboine.Only way in is by foot or helicopter. we did the forced march in 08 so are flying in this trip.
I'll catch up on my return Sunday evening. The British naval move amounted to blockading the Spanish in Cagliari and moving their transports to Portuguese waters while maintaining the other blockades.
Back Sunday.The Purist
