Absolutely. You will be in a good defensive position and set to grab at least 2 French Territories. The others Great Powers don't like France at all and may join you once France loses a few territories. Just don't lose your Navy. England and Potugual may even form an alliance with you if you ask before going to war. (Disband the Scottish archers you get..you are short on food). The reason for the short war is that you don't want to lose any territories or over-expand. It is too earlier in the game to start taking territories left and right.... you won't be able to defend it and you don't need any more resources or money territories. You should want to just wait around while the A1 carves it's self up, joining occassionally in lop-sided wars (join the winners) and wait until IC's and Big feild Cannons. Then use the IC' to cripple and crush your #1 rival.... 6 turns or so of IC blockaiding and his empire will collapse (no money to fund attacks, no food, no resourses,.ect.). I also have the very first turn of this scenerio. You have nothing. The game is just starting. Ugly
