By the way, if it of any consolation, I also have my own gripes with how my turn has been played. My sneaking was also screwed, like your own -I should've got that critical port province that I've cleared with ghost rider strike. Instead it is neutral. And you scout has called a bluff on my scout, regaining control of another province of yours. I should've script him to attack.
All in all I may have expected a bit more agressiveness from Ermor. But then again it was my call to declare war, and you only had brief time to react, according to our agreement. You must have chosen to concentrate on logistics and preparing your forces for strong retaliation strike. Well, given that vast majority of your empire is castled, and that you have very few vulnerable privinces, IMHO it is a very valid tactic. I expect you will strike hard at my exposed SCs and troops, not to mention major army engagements that are bound to happen in the next turn or two. And that skyrocjeting army graph of yours keeps growing, despite losing that battle.
This is going to be very brutal and interesting war...
