Victoria Revolutions with the Southern Revolutions Mod
Very Easy and Coward (I need some way to survive eh?)

President Captain looked down at the map on his table depicting the state of the troops of the newly formed Confederacy

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/CSAstart.jpg

"well shoot General.... I can't make heads or tails of all of this, I'm the politician" The President said to General Robert E. Lee who he had assigned to be his situation advisor.

"well sir, we're heavily outnumbered in terms of troops and equipment and our main advantage is knowing the land we plan to fight on" Lee said while scratching his beard.

"well General, they can have twice as many troops as we do, our boys are defending their homes while those Federals don't have to worry about us stomping through their back yards" The President remarked with a grin.

"are you saying you don't expect us to get into the north?" Lee said, taken back by what he thought was a flash of defeatism from the President.

"Naw, I fully expect us to have a shot at marching into the north, however if that opportunity arises I expect we'd sign peace instead" The President stated, he began to turn around but then had a thought and turned back to the General.

"The difference between ourselves and the Yankees, we just want to be left alone"

General N. Kiddus, Army of Northern Virginia

Very Well General, welcome to the Confederate armed forces :salute:

For Liberty and Justice for Whites ;)

except if you count the abolition act I intend to pass in 20 years or so.... if I ever survive the war

General PrinceScamp of whatever the other largest army is.

serving along with nuke? I think i've found my Lee and Stonewall :p

Actually wait, idk, will I get much written abotu me of I take the first corps? (Which was Longstreet, not Stonewall).

yes I'll make an effort to write about everyone, although I may have to end up cheating to win the war since I just played 7 games from the start and lost every time... once I got to burn Washington but its of little help when I've lost all of Virginia

Battle of Manassas

http://www.gmu.edu/library/specialcollections/manassas2.gif

"sir! 3 more Yankee Infantry arriving on the battlefield! sir!" reported the scout to General N. Kiddus, who normally wouldn't tolerate yelling inside his command tent but he felt it necessary right now to be heard over the roar of the enemy cannons

General Thomas Jackson, who had been assigned to the same area as both General Scamp and General Kiddus decided to pipe up

"they out number us again... just as we take out one division they send another two back at us" he said lifting tent flap and looking through a pair of binoculars at the battlefield

"hell... we're still stronger, 7 of our divisions is worth 9 or so of the federals" said General Kiddus while looking at a map of the terrain, he noticed from the corner of his eye the scout leaving the tent

"well if we let those new Yankee divisions meet up with the group we've had pinned down all morning they may be able to turn the tide.... and I am not going to allow that to happen" General Scamp said with his hand on his sword

almost as if to punctuate his statement a cannonball could be heard hitting the ground outside, judging by the shadow on the wall of the tent it continued to roll and then a yell was let out by the scout who had just stepped out

"alright, thats it... I'm going to go take care of those Yankee cannons!" General Scamp yelled back to the Generals, pulling his sword and running out of the tent

General Jackson pulled out his pocketwatch and handed a Confederate 5 note to Kiddus

"if he waited five more minutes I would have won that bet" Jackson mumbled

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Battleofmanassas.jpg


and also to celebrate the event, General Scamp claims the enemy cannons
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Untitled-4.jpg

Excellent, I want the cannons inspected and used to expand our artillery forces.

(Nice pic!)

Army of the Shenandoah here.

In! General Pugwash reporting.

We all know what position I claim

alright time for another vote:

1. Fight the war to its conclusion, aka loss, however do one update for every battle
2. Delete the American army and win, then see how things work out

Admiral of the Confederate Navy.
I'd say just play and see what happens.

If Stonewalls army is still available I want him.

If not, I will take Longstreet.

I shall be General Germaniski.


How do you know you will lose if you dont try. In reality the Confederates could have won, just dont make the same mistakes the real confederates did.

well actually I tried 7 times last night, all of which ended in defeat, followed by 2 today which ended in defeat, the Union doesn't have the same "fighting with one hand tied behind its back" mentality, I'm fighting the whole US and that means 10 Confederate Divisions vs. 30 Union, it eventually takes its toll

the main downfall to this is Lincoln doesn't have to worry about losing an election and the following president signing peace, in this game the war will last as long as Washington isn't in Confederate hands or the south isn't annexed

the vote is basically whether we want a more historical game (CSA will fall by 1863 at the latest) or going off the rails of history

Go off the Rails then.

I'll write an update at 10, until then I'll let the vote continue

not that I'm saying losing would be bad, I'd just need to write every battle as one update

army of the potomac!

I suggest moving some of the units to some distant local, or temp. erase some of them.

Even though I am sure Washington is heavily defended, why not mass as many troops as you can muster and attack Washington? Surely if that city falls Lincoln will sue for peace....

Likewise we will probably need to defend Richmond but I am sure losing that wont be as bad as losing Washington. Can always move to Atlanta and keep Sherman away or move to Austin Texas and force them to fight in the desert.

I tried this once awhile ago, if I remember correctly, I managed to take New York City by landing an army nearby (how I passed their blockade is beyond me). But the Army of Northern Virginia lost at Manassas and was forced to retreat. But with New York firmly in my hands, Lincoln was ready to negotiate almost anything, becuase with New York gone, he lost almost half of his standing army to rebel forces through desertion.

I ended up getting California, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico and all southern states were freed. It stayed that way until World War II where I joined the Germans, and the US joined the Allies, this time I was crushed and forced to admit defeat and rejoin the Union.


Perhaps you should try that?

I've taken Washington, then all of Virginia falls to the Union, and then since Lee is surrounded they just attack him with their 30 Infantry divisions and crush him and all but 3 Divisions of the Confederate army

as I've said, its up to a vote whether I do a more historical losing campaign or win without much in the way of honour but have something to make a story out of

edit: tried your strategy but in order to create a transport convoy we need the resource steamer ships, which are not for sale

Delete Their Army!

The Battle of Bowling Green

Thanks to the efforts of Generals Kiddus, Scamp, Lee and Jackson the Confederate army had been able to hold at Manassas and face off against a weakened Union army in Washington.

General Germaniski had recommended a plan to invade New York, hopefully weakening the morale of the Union army and President Captain agreed with this plan in hopes of giving the CSA Navy something to do, however once it became clear that the Confederacy would be unable to secure the resources necessary for the plan it was scrapped.

General Scamp was reassigned to Bowling Green where his goal was to force the Federal army into a second front and back the invasion currently being planned by General Pugwash, when first being informed he would only be able to command 1 of the 2 Divisions he was quite displeased, however after a visit from the President himself he was convinced that although a secondary front it was necessary to lure the Yankee forces away from Washington.

In three different battles the forces under General Pugwash and General Scamp beat over 4 Union divisions, first defeating them in a 2 Vs. 2 battle and then two battles against 1 enemy division.

Pugwash had just set up his tent when he was alerted by a scout that 5 Union divisions had been ordered to engage the Confederate force of Bowling Green, General Prince held his breath and waited for the outcome.

Battle of Washington

6 Infantry Divisions under the combined command of General Kiddus and General Artagnan met up with the 1 Cavalry division under the command of and General Germaniski, they then crossed the border and into Washington.

The Union had set up a small defence but they were outnumbered after their losses at Manassas, In usual Confederate style the enemy was quickly sent running with their tail between their legs, the White House was surrendered without a shot fired in hopes of saving it from being set aflame by the victorious Southerners, shortly afterwards it was visited by the President of the Confederacy

ever the showman, President Captain chooses the best moment to show the new national flag

Congratulations on taking Washington Mr. President. Now we must hold it to keep the victory complete.

But there is an eerie storm cloud gathering in the West....




I am a cowboy (from the West), so I cant speak southern talk. As much as I would love to keep in character but I just do not know many southern friends. Sorry.

http://media.canada.com/e01c99e2-0752-408b-b71e-9f74d891718d/world_hurricane_noel210.jpg

by Jove! your right! :p

edit: thats fine, I'm a bloody Canadian, I'm pretty sure every time I say something supposedly in character someone from the South suddenly becomes angry without knowing exactly why

this is a period of extensive change, I assume your talking about Prussia but am not enitrely sure

:lol:

Now to defend Richmond and Virginia from the eventual counterattack from Northern soldiers. What is our armed forces status?

Since I am taking more interest in location of troops and plan of attack, perhaps I should become Secretary of War or some similar office.

armed forces status is, 7 Divisions in Washington and the nearest US troops are 5 Divisions

meanwhile Princescamp and Pugwash are staring at 5 Yankee Divisions Vs. 2 Confederate

Just out of curiosity, what is that flag you are using (in the first post)? I don't recall ever seeing it before in relation to the Civil War.

its the first flag that was used by the Confederacy after succession, they later replaced it with the one I just posted over the white house

http://www.researchonline.net/gacw/conflag9.htm

theres some info on it

Interesting, I never knew that. :)

5 divisions? pfft, no problem. We'll pount them with my artillery while we wait in a defensive position.

5 divisions? pfft, no problem. We'll pount them with my artillery while we wait in a defensive position.

What artillery, I dont think the armies come equipped with Artillery, they have to be built and sent with the army. But then again I haven't played the game in over 1 year, so I could be wrong.

But either way, good luck for the fate of the Confederate cause rests in your eventual victory. :salute:

The artillery I captured in the Battle of Manasass, (It's RP)

White House, Washington D.C
Part 1 of 2

http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/images/u/us-csa2.gif

Captain ,The President of the Confederate States of America sat in the oval office with General Kiddus and a small group of Confederate soldiers that had been responsible for the capture, the President wore what would be later be written as "a serious, dreamy expression" on his face however inside he felt nothing but overwhelmed with the situation

"we've finally done it General" he finally said to Kiddus, the situation beginning to sink in

"the best the Yankees can decide now is that no-one has won the war, defeat is totally off the table" the President added while smiling from ear-to-ear.

"how so Mr. President?" General Kiddus asked, knowing the answer but he knew Captain preferred to finish his own thoughts.

"well General, the last time a foreign army was near this building was in 1812, that was later deemed a tie and I'll be dammed if the Confederacy will come out worse than a bunch of Canadians" The President stated while looking down at the desk in front of him

"do you think it could use another burning?" one of the soldiers whispered to the man beside him, however it was loud enough that the President could hear.

"Son, we come from a civilized nation, we do not go into places and burn them simply to spite our enemies" the President said to the embarrassed Soldier

"while we're out burning Federal cities why don't we just tear up the Yankee railroad tracks and melt it?" The President said mockingly "we need to give these people something to live for after this war besides revenge"

A group of Confederate soldiers appeared in the doorway to the oval office and asked for permission to bring in a prisoner.

General Kiddus raised his eyebrow and asked "Hell boys, can't you see the President is here? why do ya need to bring in some filthy Yankee?". The troops looked at each other and then the commanding officer nodded.

The prisoner was brought from the shadowy corridors and pushed into the Oval Office in front of the President, General and troops, eliciting a large gasp from the troops and was enough of a shock for Captain to jump out of the chair he was in and stand staring wide eyed and open mouthed at the POW presented to him

Speak de la diablo, it's Abe Lincoln!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/lincoln.jpg

indeed!

White house, Washington D.C

President Captain looked across the desk of the Oval office at the newly captured Abe Lincoln, after several minutes of uncomfortable silence Captain made the first comment

"well well well, President Lincoln in the flesh.... I must admit that I'm impressed, few people would stay in enemy occupied territory"

"well not all of us are willing to run and hide from a bunch of rebels" Lincoln said, looking rather worn and tired

"what am I thinking..." President Captain said motioning at a chair on the opposite side of the desk "have a seat, I hope ya don't mind if I take the side of the desk that you normally occupy"

"so, you've taken the capital and now have me, I suppose you believe you have won?" Abe asked while sitting down

"well indeed Mr. President, we're sitting in Washington, not Richmond" Captain pointed out

"I will not recognize your rebel government as long as I'm in power" Lincoln said while leaning back in his seat.

"I would not expect anything less Mr.President, however I doubt very much your abilities to govern union policy from a camp in Texas" remarked Captain while standing up and walking to Lincoln's side

"for the sake of your wife and children I will not have you hung, however I believe Abraham Lincoln the politician has very much died" He whispered into his opponents ear before walking out of the room.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/VAdei.jpg

Peace is at hand, however we need to see whether we can agree on peace terms

Demand Kentucky and the Arizona and Indian territories- small chance of the Union not accepting this option and the war continuing, decent territory gains and the US loses all cores on CSA territory

Independence is reward enough- War ends at the original border, US loses Cores on CSA territory

Demand All Border States- little chance of being accepted and if accepted increases the odds of a repeat war since they keep cores on the border states we take, however large territory gains

Demand all Border States!

Wait, what is the compositino of both sides forces?

All Border States.

If the Yankees rejected our demands, what would be our ability to continue to wage war?

if they turned us down I suspect we could hold out for a year before they out produced us and then overwhelmed our armies

The first option, (says the general who has yet to appear).

I do declare, suh, that the intent of this here war was to preserve our Southe'n dignity and our States' rights.

Translation: Independence is enough. :p If you want to get greedy try for Arizona and the small bit of territory, but I think the "all border states" option is out of the question.

so far:

2 for all border
1 for the first option
1 for Independence, however willing to switch to minimum land grab

Then either cheat or we go with the first option.

Does anybody else find it amusing that the U.S. flag in that screenshot is a 50-star? :mischief: :shake:

I don't think Hawaii was a state yet.

Choice 1!

I don't think Hawaii was a state yet.

Neither were Alaska or most of the west.

Does anybody else find it amusing that the U.S. flag in that screenshot is a 50-star? :mischief: :shake:

actually I found a new flag for the post war US :)

The Secretary of War proposes that we accept Indepencence, we have no need for Arizona or any of the Western States, they do nothing to help the Union at this moment, and I doubt we will benefit from such a transfer.



The Western states, west of Kansas are all territories, minus California and possibly Nevada, who were granted statehood due to their rich mines.

We want rich mines. So I say we take them.

I believe that if we accept Border states, then those mines in Nevada and California may never even enter our possession anyways. Though I could be wrong.

February 6th, 1866

The Confederacy has finally accepted peace with the Union, following a vote the terms were decided that the CSA needed a buffer in case its northern neighbour got any ideas and therefore all border states were demanded, although a bitter peace the Union found the treaty acceptable enough and agreed to recognize the Confederacy as its own government.

According to the treaty, Washington ended up in the Confederate States of America and the Union was forced to pack up and move the capital to Philadelphia

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/newmap.jpg

also following the treaty the United States saw fit to update the flag

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/1confederate_1960_19440727

while the Confederacy also saw a good time to update the flag once again

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Confederate_National_Flag_since_Mar_4_1865.svg/250px-Confederate_National_Flag_since_Mar_4_1865.svg.png

All right! Party at the Whitehouse!

We should focus on building up our industry and research.

Are we relocating our capital? Washington seems too close to the border for my liking.

Also why is it that Alberta and Quebec/Northern Ontario look seperate in Canada?

Trust me to turn up to a Confedrate AAR just after tge Civil War's over...
Any vacancies I can fill? Anywhere...?

And just to offer my opinion, for what it's worth (sometimes I dream it's worth a whole two cents) I see nothing wrong with Washington for a capital, the psychological impact is powerful enough- besides have you seen how close Richmond is to Washington? And that had no implications in er, this Civil War...

Post War Update:

-The Confederacy continues to expand its army, increasing the army size by nearly 70%, the Yankees appear to be disbanding some of their divisions on their own, either that or they've sent them away from the border and we just cant see them

-A great European War has broken out, France, Spain, and Austria and assorted German minors have declared war upon Prussia, Italy and other German minors

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/europe-4.jpg

-Mexico has refused to pay back its debts to Spain and has a result has gone to war with the alliance that appears in the strongest position, France, Austria and Spain

-The Confederacy has been asked to enforce the Monroe doctrine but the president has declared "we're not that suicidal"

Woohoo, a Vicky AAR... First one I saw on these boards.

Build up the military. Those Yanks will not leave us alone for long.

since there appears to be a pro-Washington movement I'll show some background on both Virginia (current capital) and Washington (popular capital)

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/richmond.jpg
Virginia

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/DC.jpg
Washington

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/CSATOTAL.jpg
and since this stuff is sort of interesting to me, CSA as a whole

How exactly did you pull off a victory in a five-year war? :confused: It sounded as though the "demand all border states" option would be suicide just a few pages ago...

well in order to win I deleted the American army and then just fought what they could produce which almost overwhelmed us again, and yes demand all border provinces is usually suicide but I went with the vote and it worked for some reason


decided to use my poor drawings to demonstrate our diplomatic problems right now, I hate feet

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/IMG-1.jpg

edit: after checking the events, it turns out the AI has a 50/50 chance of either accepting it or not when you demand the border states

Also why is it that Alberta and Quebec/Northern Ontario look seperate in Canada?

The British have yet to actually claim those areas, right now they're just trading posts and forts

Move the capitol to a city that's 2/3 Yankee? Never!

Where do we keep the capital? Richmond is not exactly prime real estate.

Whines at the fact that my bags are already packed for Washington.

I would have enjoyed a more detailed account of the war with the Union, even following the sudden disappearance of their armies. I trust we'll get one in the future ;)

Is Britain a likely ally? Could be handy to have one of the main European powers on your side, particularly that one.

Let's keep it in Richmond, Washington is too close to the border.

Richmond, Virginia
January 6th 1867

http://content.answers.com/main/content/wp/en-commons/thumb/e/e3/275px-Capitol_Richmond.jpg

President Captain stood in front of congress, wiping sweat away from his face. The speech he planned to deliver had been top secret until now considering the information held within the speech could very well become a problem if it wound up in the hands of the wrong people.

"ladies and gentlemen of these Confederate States, I stand before y'all today with a serious situation that demands your utmost attention" he then took a drink of water before continuing

"as everyone is well aware the United States of America have gone out of their way to make life as difficult for us as possible, they have even gone so far as to ally themselves with Mexico in order to force us into a two front war when they choose to start it" The President said before wiping his head of sweat

"well the Mexicans are also at war with France, Spain and Austria, forcing the United States into the same fight as well.

US-Confederate relations are very low, so much so that we cannot guarantee how long peace between our nations will last, I recommend we strike now while our enemies are occupied and the alliance they created is still unreliable" members of congress gasped quite loudly, followed by arguments throughout the building

"Thank ya kindly for listening and I recommend that y'all vote in favour of war with the United States before they can once again threaten our freedom"

@Kan, relations with Britain are actually +200 but they really don't seem that interested in an alliance with the CSA

In all due respect my good sir, I doubt very highly the ability of my and my fellow patriots army's ability to fight a war against the Yankees and Mexico, never minding their European allies. Our production abilities must be expanded, mostly from Virginia to the deep south. I would like to know of of relations with Italy and Prussia.

actually France, Spain and Austria are against Mexico and the US, Prussia and Italy are fighting against the French, Spanish and Austrians but its restricted to Europe, USA and Mexico have no deals with them

In any case we'd get crushed.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/comparison.jpg

I chose not to include Mexico as Spain and France have made landings, hopefully tying up their entire army

But the Union can still out produce us, unless, how soon can we take their main production regions?

I suspect we could take the main regions within 3-4 months, I'll show how i've set up the battleplan

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/warplan.jpg

as you can see, first we split the country in two and then close the eastern front whitch contains a large part of the Union army and the main Yankee industry.

Once we crush that they've lost most of their Industry and Millitary so we can then move all of our troops into the west and crush whatever is left with little trouble

I like it!

Yee Haw! Let's git this show on the road!

(I was waiting for an opportunity like this to use that phrase)

The Secretary of War likes the plan and approves of it. Will begin to redirect troops at once for the invasion.

Plan looks good. Let's git goin!

Yeehaw!

General D'Artwall Jackson ready to go!

I retract my objection mah good sirs, this war looks quite winnable. However may I note the Mexican divisions near Texas, does the European landings look enough to draw them away?

I request that my army of the Potomac lead the charge through the "New England" area sir.

Battle of Philadelphia
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/yankcap.jpg

The Invasion has gone as planned so far, the armies of the Eastern front have achieved all early objectives and the USA has been effectively cut in two, the forces under General Scamp were the first to secure an enemy province and then were ordered to assist the forces of General Kiddus and General Ironman who were in danger of being surrounded by a Union division, luckily Princescamp's forces caught the Yankees in time and forced them to retreat.


7 Confederate Divisions met on the field against 4 Federal Divisions, needless to say the combined leadership of General Kiddus and Ironman scored a shattering victory when Confederate manpower advantage caught the enemy off guard and they captured Philadelphia in about a week.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/woots.jpg


Battle of Chesapeake Bay

http://www.historyplace.com/civilwar/cwar-pix/mon-battle.jpg

With all Yankee troops in full retreat in the Eastern front, The President decided that the Confederate Ironclads could use a bit of a workout and sent them out to take care of the Union navy

Admiral Nodikus led 5 Confederate Ironclads up along the Atlantic Coast and caught 17 Yankee ships, fortunately they were all made of wood and Nodikus pulled out a victory with no enemy ships surviving and his own Ironclads suffering nothing but a few unsightly dents

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/swes.jpg


Western Front comming soon

Mexico took San Antonio?

I warned you you about the divisions.

How are the Spanish and French doing?

Kiddus can have New York, I'll take Boston.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/totaloverview.jpg

theres the Eastern Front, so far the Mexican have sent two divisions at us but thats been all, and we haven't had a battle yet over there since the US is only starting to send troops to halt our advances

US-CSA split right now
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Score.jpg

US-CSA split when the war began
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/comparison.jpg

How much does a division mean in men in Victoria?

1 Division= 10,000 Men

Oh, same as HoI then, 90,000 Union military deaths....

More I'd wager but got replenished. Do we annex or take territory? And is our relations with anyone taking a hit because we declared war? (I imagine not, based on out prestige)

well we can't annex the union and I really don't want to expand into Yankee territory since we've taken any land of use to us so I'm considering satelliting them so we won't have to deal with them in the future

What are the proposed final borders?

I doubt it's been 90,000 deaths. Most probably were wounded, deserted or captured.

I doubt it's been 90,000 deaths. Most probably were wounded, deserted or captured.

Yes, we must remember that them dahmn Yankees don't fight like us Southern boys. :lol:

I suggest we try to secure California and then move up toward Washington, if possible. It will provide rich access to the Pacific treasures and deny the Union key shipping ports.

All Quiet On the Eastern Front

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/BattleofNY.jpg

Generals Princescamp, Kiddus and Ironman have succeeded in destroying the Yankee army based in the Eastern front after a final large clash in New York.

7 Confederate Divisions have met the Union troops once again and have come out victorious beginning a strain of retreats that finally ended when Union troops were forced to surrender, as the Canadian government was unwilling to allow the US army to cross the border.

The final remains of the US navy have been wiped out by Admiral Nodikus who continued to destroy the ships forced out of harbour by the advancing Confederate army, the President has announced "except for a few rebel divisions the Eastern front has been closed.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/closed.jpg

The Mexican Proposal

Mexican diplomats have met with the President and after long talks an agreement has been reached, Mexico will end its involvement in the war and give Texas back to the CSA in exchange for the Confederate surrender of Kansas city to the USA. Since the terms do not require peace with the US the President has signed, Kansas was recaptured within a week.

Steady Advance on the Western Front

Generals Germaniski and Pugwash have finally hit Union resistance after a long advance with only one battle so far that ended in a Confederate victory, meanwhile in the north Michigan has fallen to General Artagnan after another string of Confederate Victories

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/WesternFront.jpg

Excellent progress!

But why do you keep callnig the Western Front the Eastern Front?

So basically now the Confederacy is the United States?

@Scamp, whoops, fixed :D

@Gaius, until the war ends anyway, then I intend only to take back Kansas and satelite the US government

General's Suggestion of Peace Deal:

Try taking California, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Colorado, and maybe all or part of Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio in peace.

Kiddus says he will not be satisfied until all of America is under the Confederacy. He also would like to suggest an invasion of Liberia

Western Front

The Western front has gone amazingly well with only a handful of small battles, while General Kiddus has been busy dealing with various rebels popping up across the occupied land, Generals Pugwash and Germaniski have been responsible for the largest Confederate land gains in the war

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/ouchies-1.jpg

and within three to four months they had accomplished this:
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/fulladvance.jpg

Once again within a decade the two Presidents of American nations, President Johnson and President Captain met in Richmond to discuss terms.

The final surrender of a Union army during the war was shortly after news of Confederate troops coming at the US army from both the north and south at General Grant's base in Eureka, after a long stalemate General Ulysses S. Grant surrendered to General Robert E. Lee

http://staff.harrisonburg.k12.va.us/~cwalton/USHistory/leesurrender.jpg

Meanwhile the two Presidents hammered out the new treaty while the Generals chased around Union troops who had yet to accept the fate of their nation


Terms:

Final Map After Peace:
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/WOSJd.jpg

as additional terms, the US has to pay war reparations and set up a government friendly to the CSA

I see that Canada has been created!

Now that the war is over, I shall retire to Texas until business calls. Good day Gentlemen. *bows deeply*

Very satisfying.

Now, I second Kiddus's plan on taking Liberia. Next war, try to take Nevada, Utah, Kansas, and Colorado. Maybe a bit of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wyoming, and Nebraska.
Could get us to our goal: conquering the USA.

Election '71

The Whigs under the control of President Captain decided that a new issue would be needed for the election, since the last election was held during the war he felt that as a victorious leader he could bring about great change in the nation this time around.

As the most dominant issue of the election emerged it was quickly decided that the time for a decision on Emancipation had arrived.

The Democrat official policy was that slavery should remain for the time being, the Socialist party "Brothers of the Revolution" campaigned on the platform of reimbursed emancipation.

The problem the Whig leaders saw with these two plans was first of all, Slavery was holding the nation back, and with an oppresssed minority it would be very hard to appear as any kind of government of freedom, secondly the idea of paying people for their slaves would not work as it would bankrupt the nation, the Confederacy at the time only had 1/10 of the total cost needed in order to buy the Africans their freedom.

for the whole election the Whig party just rode out the storm while pointing out problems in the other plans and just avoiding the issue in general and when the election was held President Captain was elected with 80% of the vote.

When the time finally came for a decision on the matter, the Whig party freed the Slaves without compensation to their owners.

He's dead. Let us all shed a tear and have a moment of silence for Robert E. Lee.

OOC: Can you give me a low-down on my stats?

Well, our prestige took a hell of a hit.

Well actually I think our prestige went up, not down.... or at least that is what I represent the "+" as.

Well since the main focus while I wait for our Bad Boy ranking to go down is Industrial growth, heres a few maps of the world situation

Whats that red line say in Europe? I can't make it out. and is Alaska owned by Britain?

oh, the red line says French territories

and yes, I assume after the results of the civil war Britain was sold Alaska

I say that we invade Liberia, to stretch our wings across the world

I meant in the second war the prestige was down, we had the like 241st highest.

alright, I'll call a vote as to weither or not we should invade Liberia
and Hawaii

the upsides and downsides are, declaring war on Liberia will cost us 100 prestige and we wont get it back

on the other hand if we wish to colonize Africa it will be a crucial first step

Hawaii is more important than Liberia.

How about Liberia, then colonize, then Hawaii. We must make our presence known amongst the world.

USA might turn their backs, but who cares? We can own them while a few divisions get Liberia.

Liberia seems to have no military to speak of, but I say colonize.

Colonize Africa, annex Hawaii later.

Who's the new industrial leader? Is that Austria?

thats prussia, may just be temporary though

Well it seems the Union now outnumbers us again in divisions and navy.

But we still hold power or at least the illusion of power, over the Union and that much is good.

I suggest a build up of factories and railroads across the country.

Aloha Hell

The water hit the front of the transports as they neared the target, the Confederate troops adjusted their uniforms and prepared their weapons

"Gentlemen!" General Kan yelled to his troops as they tried to keep their footing, each wave shaking the transport

"This will be the day of judgement for many of y'all, I would just like each and every one of you to know that its been a pleasure serving with you... for this past week"

with that one of the soldiers at the front of the transport yelled back

"FIVE SECONDS!"
"FOUR!"
"THREE!"
"TWO!"
the last number was the longest for the brave men upon the transport this day

"CHARGE!" yelled the General and the Confederate troops jumped off of the transport and begun the charge up the beaches, several of them uttering a mighty battle cry.

one of the natives grabbed a lei and walked toward the General.

"Nooooo! Sir!" one of the Soldiers yelled while diving in front of Kan and grabbing the Lei while falling to the ground.

another native headed toward a grouping of soldiers carrying a coconut with a little straw in it, luckily he was tackled in time.

after a long and messy battle (sand does not mix well with wet uniforms) the General pulled out the Confederate flag and flew it over the Hawaiian government buildings and disbanded the government of Hawaii, who left after being asked.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Hawaiiik.jpg

Hooray! The first Confederate colony!

P.S. That was me asking if you were the same Captain2 here in the Paradox forums.

Ah would just like to report back to y'all in the good ol' U.S. of A. It's been a difficult time 'ere, and we've had many a tough fight. Hell, that woman with the sharpened mango could have seriously...well, it don't rightly deserve talking about.

Point is, my fellow patriots, this land is American now, and the victory is rightly deserved by my fella soldiers 'ere today. God bless y'all.

Can I attack Liberia?

Can I attack Liberia?

That's a question I think we all need to ask ourselves at some point in our lives, can, indeed, any of us attack liberia- and if so, what are the consequences?

We must establish a naval base at Pearl Harbor to secure American naval supremacy throughout the Pacific.

Whoops, poor choice.

I ask instead: If we invade Liberia, can I be the commander that does?

I will now announce my running for Congress on the Brothers of Revolution ticket for Maryland

C.S. of A. Khan.

I support gaing African territory, but not from Liberia.

Also, is it not time for a presidential election?

Colonization of Africa

General Artagnan stood on his platform overlooking the troops preparing for the invasion of Liberia and the first step in the creation of a Confederate colony in Africa, he had just ordered a few of his troops to get on the firing range when a message was handed to him by the telegraph operator

General Artagnan STOP cease all preparations for invasion STOP we have received word that Britain has taken control of Liberia and we have been trying to purchase it from them STOP things are looking good and if we successfully acquire this land you will be transfered to guard it STOP K THX BAI STOP

The General pointed at the last part and looked at the Telegraph Operator quizzically

"sorry sir, its my first day" he said

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Africaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg

we also purchased a few territories from France, however it only cost us some tech, buying Liberia was pretty expensive since it cost something like 100,000 and tech

whoa, time shift *rewinds three years to watch events*




I HAD A KID!?!

yeah I figured putting up a screenshot everytime I built a new railroad would be cruel :p

Let's expand our African colony.

Wait, what exactly are we getting out of these African colonies?

A sense of righteous imperialism, I assume

well we've been expanding our colonies so far, as well as purchased some land from the French allowing us to get further inland

anyway, while I was working on the update for this turn something came up that I'll have a vote on

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/woejd.jpg

AVENGE THE ARKANSAS!

:D

Gaius Octavius hereby joins as the leader of the expeditionary force to repel this blatant act of aggression.

Declair War!

There are two ways to avenge the Arkansas, 1 would be to declare war. The other would be to ask Spain to pay up.

The latter would be a better course, and if they refuse, then those war hawks will have their war.

Therefore, Ask Spain about the Incident, if they decline anything or refuse to pay up, then declare war.

Therefore, Ask Spain about the Incident, if they decline anything or refuse to pay up, then declare war.

Good logical decision, but how are you so sure they'll refuse? If they submit, are we going to declare war anyway? (Sounds eerily reminiscent of Austria-Hungary in WWI...)

War!!!!!!!!

Spanish-Confederate War

On January 20th, 1895, President Captain Declared war on the Spanish Empire following the sinking of the CSS Arkansas, immediately 17 Divisions were sent to defend Africa while 15 Divisions under the command of General Octavius went to capture Cuba, the battle to gain a foothold on the Island was fierce, 3 Spanish divisions were destroyed but unfortunately the Confederate army lost 1 of their own divisions.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/cgard.jpg

Meanwhile a group of rebels decided to take advantage of the distraction the army faced and gain independence, however luckily some troops had been sent from Virginia to the Pacific coast in hopes of reinforcing General Kan's plans to take the Philippines and simply wiped out the rebels on the way.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Oklahomarevol.jpg

The Spanish counter attack came in the form of an African invasion, General Artagnan however easily crushed the invading force with the reinforcements he had received, the Spanish have not yet been able to launch another attack after such a defeat.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Spaininafrica.jpg

and finally General Octavius captured the rest of Cuba without problem, since the force defending the Island was only stationed in the area that the landing was conducted.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/occupied.jpg

we've also been offered a treaty by the Spanish, however the question is if we wish to accept it or see what could be gained if we continue, since the treaty only gives us Cuba and Puerto Rico but not the Philippines

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Parisxc.jpg

Well since we are already in the war *shakes head* and we are winning losing very few divisions, we might as well continue until we take the Phillipines.

Continue the war.

Fight for the Philippines!
And maybe take a little more- perhaps Spanish Morocco...

I've heard Granada is nice this time of year...

Shatter Spain's glory of thinking it self to be a colonial power.

(If you follow NESing this post may be ironic for you, be calm, the CSA has cookies.)

Annex Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Canaries, and the Phillipines. That's what I say. Maybe the Balearic Islands?

After that, I've heard in Monrovia that Morocco is a nice place.

Agreed, continue the war! Show Spain who is the boss now!

On to Madrid!

(Oh, and can I command an expoditionary force?)

I doubt we'll go to Europe itself, that might present some issues, but I (or my son, whatever) calls Manilla.

Invasion of the Philippines

General Kan, from his base in Hawaii took the extra 14 divisions given to him by high command and made a landing in Luzon without meeting any resistance. Unfortunately this would be the war in which the Confederacy leaned not only standing armies can bring great trouble.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/phillipines.jpg

The citizens of the Philippines began the largest Guerrilla campaign known to date, whenever the Confederate army moved to secure the next province the Guerrillas would rise up and retake the province. It forced General Kan to split his army into 2 Divisions per province and leave them there in order to move to the next province, this lead to the securing of the provinces but so far over 100,000 Soldiers have been lost to fighting the enemy in this way.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Phillipinesrebs.jpg

meanwhile in the Atlantic, Admiral Nodikus of the Confederate Navy sent out his Ironclads left over from the war of succession and attacked enemy shipping, however he also had an ace up his sleeve, following a few requests to the President the latest in naval technology had been sent to aid his plans on the Spanish coast, 3 Brand new Monitor Class ships have been built and an order for an additional three have been placed.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/navals.jpg

Despite Spanish inability to make any gains or hold a front agianst the Confederate invaders, they have seen fit to decline our offer of peace at only the cost of the provinces we hold, and as a result the President has given the Green light to a plan for the invasion of Spain.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/SPainsoch.jpg

Fine, I call Madrid then.

I call Canary Islands and Tetuan.

I call Barcalona.

I've heard Galicia is a nice part of Spain, especially during the summer months- the mountains keep it cool- by that logic, I call it!

This baby alive?

yep, should have an update ready later today

Opening of the Ball- A Confederate Ricky AAR
Part One Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty Seven

1898

The soldiers of the Confederate army had rough times ahead of them, calling divisions away from the defence of Cuba and Virginia in hopes of teaching the Spanish Empire that there are more important things in the world than colonies. Generals Artagnan and Ironman climbed on board a transport with 17 Divisions and orders from the President to force the Spanish to accept Confederate rule of Cuba and the Philippines.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Spanishionvs.jpg

The first series of battles went incredibly badly for the CSA invasion force, 4 Divisions were lost in the attempt to first push the Spanish back and then to secure the beach head, the worst casualties suffered in Confederate history, the previous worst being 1 Division during a war with the Union.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Battleofburges.jpg

The War depends upon the Confederate ability to win the Battle of Burgos, The Spanish lack enough troops to make up for the losses they are likely to suffer and should the Confederacy lose they will lack the ability to cover any advance made. One Battle decides the course of a war.

You planning to convert to Doomsday?

Also, install the fixes if it's a yes.

Wahey, invading Galacia! What do I win?

Oh and what fixes are they? Whatever they are I certainly need them

yeah I'd like to know as well, I hope to transfer it

All we are saying.....

Newspapers within the Confederacy have worked through the night in hopes of being the first to deliver the news that after the bloodiest war in the CSA's history the Spanish Empire has finally surrendered after the result of the Battle of Burgos.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Spains.jpg

In the terms finally agreed upon, Spain agreed to give up Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Philippines in exchange for peace.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/confedrat.jpg

however, the question pounding away in the back of the Presidents mind is troublesome indeed, during the war several rebellions occurred within territory that was traditionally the backbone of the Confederacy, even Richmond appeared ripe for rebellion. with the new gains of the Philippines, a place made extremely hard to capture more because of its rebels rather than the Spanish themselves, the Confederacy must wonder if its worst enemies are external or internal.

May the new century belong to the Confederacy!

Is Kansas still part of the Union? Bit of a shame that a state named after my forefathers be under occupation by our rivals. At any rate, I think I shall return to Hawaii and write my memoirs of my noble engagements in the Philippines invasion.

Yes, but it has Confederate land on two sides.

Johnny Reb go home!

Following the Confederate victory in the war, two large movements have taken root in their home countries, The President has allowed a free vote on what action should be taken in these two cases:

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Phipi.jpg
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/CUbo.jpg

OH NOES!!! NOT A CLIFFHANGER!!!

I say incorporate both into the Confederacy.

yeah I'm aware its a bit of a foolish decision to put up considering I can guess the outcome, however I really wanted to go see "The Mist" :p

working on an update

The CSA takes a breather

Not much has changed in the CSA except for the purchase of Jamaica from the British, however internationally as the President has stated "The worlds busy goin ta hell".

The Boer War

http://www.timegun.org/boer_war.jpg

This may be a tricky war to predict, although the British Empire is the strongest military power in the world they seem to have decided to declare war upon Transvaal and Oranje with only 2 divisions in the area, meanwhile they face off against roughly 9 enemy divisions, this war will either be won or lost depending upon how aggressively Britain decides to act.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Boer.jpg

The Second Franco-Prussian War

http://www.amitm.com/thecon/francoprussianwar.jpg

Following a visit by the Confederate President to Paris and Berlin to work out the border issue (France owned four provinces in Hanover) in the interests of peace the Confederacy gave France a large amount of technology and money in exchange for these provinces, which were then handed back to Prussia. For some reason France has decided that they could just take the payment and refuse to part with the land, luckily the Confederacy has been able to stay neutral but the official position is "disappointment with blatant French imperialism".

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Europes.jpg

This as well is up in the air, France has former victories on its side but currently its only ally is Romania who is in no position to alter the course of the war in any conceivable way.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Compairson.jpg

By the troop count it looks to be quite favorable to the French.

Franco-Prussian War

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/advancesss.jpg

The Prussians started out well, breaking through the French defensive lines and destroying any divisions guarding the border while the French struggled to get its massive army mobilized. The CSA, bitter after what it felt to be a French betrayal of trust sent roughly $120,000 to the Prussians (Jamaica was purchased from the UK for roughly 40,000 just to get an idea of the depth)

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/jjjjjjj.jpg

Finally the line stabilized around Verdun and Chaumont, with the Prussian troops holding a defensive position and 19 French divisions marching towards the front, however this took a turn for the worst when the French army was split into smaller groups and sent against Prussian armies of roughly the same size, the Prussian machine guns mowed the French down while they advanced and then made a counter offensive that pushed the French closer to Paris.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/italia-1.jpg

Sensing blood in the water, Italy involved itself in the war and marched largely unopposed against an enemy who was far too busy dealing with an actual threat.

In less than a year the Prussian army walked triumphantly into Paris and in late 1901 the German Empire was proclaimed in the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/gekk.jpg

Good for them.

Alright, just a heads up, nothing has happened in the CSA apart from building three dreadnoughts so I've taken the liberty of skipping head to a bit more interesting time.

Spark in a dynamite factory

Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary was shot and killed by a Serbian terrorist group during a tour of Sarajevo, a young man by the name of Gavrilo Princep has been arrested. Austria is using this event as an excuse to crack down on the Serbian population within its borders in hopes of destroying further Serbian independence movements.

Obviously, if we join Britain and Allies, we can snatch German and Italian lands in the Americas and Africa

yes, should we get involved against the Central Powers I'd recomend taking the same approach Britain took during the 7 years war.

Pay someone else to fight it and hit the colonies with everything you've got.

if someone could post that would be great, i'd like to avoid the triple post

1914
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/hun3.jpg

Following the Confederate build up in preparation to enter the war, the only thing that needed to be decided was what could be gained by entering in the first place, President Captain decided that a trade off would be necessary, either attack the Central Powers and easily grab a few colonies or attack the Allies and face off against the Royal Navy and allied armies, following a long period of deliberation it was decided that attacking Britain would yield greater gains for the CSA and war was declared (note: the vote passed as oddly only one delegate showed up to the vote.)

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/wootsc.jpg
A Confederate force lead by General Kiddus is deployed to take British South American possessions

Since the war had been restricted to a colonial war against the British Empire, the Confederacy wouldn't have to worry about landings in Virginia or dealing with France or Russia, as they cared very little about British colonial possessions.

The first successes in the campaign followed shortly after the landing of an additional 17 Divisions by General Princescamp to support the push into British holdings by the 13 Divisions under the command of Generals Ironman and Artagnan

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/waaar.jpg

meanwhile in Europe, the Germans are advancing on two fronts but have hit a speed bump as British troops march into Berlin.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/cuurent.jpg

Meanwhile in the Philippines, an order for 7 Divisions and landing craft has been green lighted while General Kan eyes India.

Any Prospect of invading Canada?

oddly enough they haven't joined WW1 so I couldn't if I tried

Why hasn't Germany invaded the Low Countries as part of the Schlieffen Plan?

Why hasn't Germany invaded the Low Countries as part of the Schlieffen Plan?
I don't think there's an historic event chain for world war 1 when you play the GC (1836 start) so they wouldn't have invaded as they don't want to go to war with Belgium and/or the Netherlands.

actually there is a chain with the Southern Revolution mod, Germany is at war with Belgium but hasn't followed through yet

August 6th 1915
Battle of Ivory coast
http://cache.eb.com/eb/image?id=65948&rendTypeId=4

Standing on the deck of the CSS Texas, one of four dreadnoughts under his command, Admiral Nodikus shouted hurried orders to his men as they saw the British ships closing in, by the looks of them they were armoured frigates.

"all hands to battle stations!" Nodikus shouted to his men, intending to stop the British vessels from dropping off more troops to defend Africa. after about an hour the battle was clearly in the favour of the Confederate navy. The Admiral grinned and yelled out an order to the ships under his command to chase the retreating vessels.

"What cowards!" The Admiral yelled as they passed the Russian port of Rooktown, suddenly a loud noise erupted and rocked the CSS Texas hard, causing the Admiral to fall over, he took a moment before standing up and instead listened to the noises around him; the scraping of metal on metal, sailors screaming something about one of the other dreadnoughts and the firing of heavy guns. When the Admiral reached his feet and looked over he saw several Ironclads (left over from the Spanish War) sinking and the CSS Confederate States heading for the bottom, one of the fleets Dreadnoughts.

The shells appeared to be coming from 20 British dreadnoughts who had hid in the Russian port and then attacked the CSA navy as they passed by, Nodikus looked at the carnage until he was tapped on the shoulder by a sailor, obviously frightened and shaking.

"Sir, we should surrender here, it appears we're facing a quarter of the Royal Navy" the Sailor said, hoping for the Admiral to agree

"Son, we have orders to not allow any more British troops in Africa and I don't care if we're facing the whole army of hell" Admiral Nodikus ordered, as the words left his mouth he heard a noise to his right and saw a shell heading straight for him.

In a short amount of time, the Royal navy managed to surround the remains of the Confederate navy who stubbornly continued to fire at the transports hoping to sneak past, by the end of the battle the British fleet sailed away, upset that their troops had been unable to make it to shore but glad the the bulk of the Confederate navy ceased to exist.

Thanks to the inability for Britain to resupply Africa, The armies of General Artagnan and Ironman successfully forced all British armies to retreat to South Africa.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/africb.jpg

Well, at least I went down fighting.
The Royal Navy consists of 80 Dreadnoughts?

Wooo! Wait, where am I now?

@Nodikus, 76 actually but I didn't feel it was a moment to get entirely technical, after that battle we now have the second largest fleet of Dreadnoughts at 2

@Prince, East Africa en route to South Africa :)

Pacific Invasion

Despite the defeat of the Confederate navy off the African coast, Operations in the Pacific carried on as normal. Loading 17 Divisions into transports and leaving the Philippines, General Kan had his sights on Hong Kong.

As the troops of the CSA army piled out of their landing craft they met no resistance what so ever as intelligence reports after the British landing in Germany they had little troops to spare in the defense of China.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/cuurent.jpg

After accepting the surrender of the British governor of Hong Kong, the Confederate garrison celebrated the whole night before their march on the other province in China under British control. Kan paid tribute to the conquered residents by playing them the tune "British Grenadiers" to add a bit of irony to the situation.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/hongkong.jpg

Will Hong Kong be a staging point for India?

Considering most of Hong Kongs residents are chinese I doubt they can appreciate the irony.

Pity it's just a colonial war, but I suppose this means India is within our sights. What about New Zealand and Australia? :D

I suggest we get more African colonies, Hong Kong, and Shaozhou. Maybe India too.

1916-Continued

Following the capture of Hong Kong, General Kan launched an invasion into the Mergai province of Burma without meeting any resistance, as he advanced he eventually encountered a French garrison but since the war was restricted to Britain neither sides exchanged anything more than dirty looks as the Union Flag was taken down and replaced with the Stars and Bars.

The only skirmish thus far has occurred after the Confederate army was taken by surprise, despite wearing British uniforms the forces approaching the CSA base were flying the French tri-colour, but that problem solved itself when the approaching army opened fire upon the Confederate garrison and then were quickly wiped out.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/invdsionind.jpg

Meanwhile, the army of Generals Princescamp has landed in South Africa to no resistance and has captured a foothold while awaiting the arrival of the armies under General Ironman and General Artagnan.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/southaci.jpg

@Ironman, hope that answers it, I would normally answer before the update but normally nobody posts between my answers and my update so I figured I'd avoid the double post

@Nodikus, well I was counting on the British garrison in past years to help make them familiar with it :p

@Kan, sadly the British dominions have declared neutrality on this one and seem fine with watching the Empire go to hell

@Artagnan, well we have to see what Britain offers, they rarely accept our treaties

Current Front lines:

and the Central Powers gain the upper hand in Europe

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/ouchies-2.jpg

Yay! Kaiser Uber Allies!

All hell breaks loose

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/russias.jpg

The situation in Europe has turned from bad to worse for the Allies as both France and Russia have completely fallen to the Germans and Austrians, meanwhile the British barely have enough troops to defend Africa and India from the Confederate forces.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Eurpoa.jpg

President Captain has decided that the well being of the Confederacy outweighs any kind of Central Powers victory and as he has announced in a meeting to his inner circle "that despite the enemy of my enemy being my friend, my "friend" is only useful as long as they keep the enemy tied up" and the CSA is looking into supporting the French financially.

following the capture of Moscow by the Austrians, the Tsar was sent to a camp in Poland while the remains of the Russian army fight more amongst themselves then the Austrians with two separate forces consisting of "White Russians" and "Bolsheviks" fought for what little land existed, although the Bolsheviks quickly gained control of the Russian government.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/russiandown.jpg

Following the final Russian surrender, several countries broke away including the Ukraine and large parts of Western Russia have been surrendered to the Germans are part of the treaty of Brest-litovsk.

Man, How did the Austrians get so powerful?

Once the Russian armies are in retreat anyone can gain that much from them.

1917

The Forces of General Kan continue to push though India with only the resistance of militia groups springing up to stop the Confederate advance, upon reaching a fork in the road, General Kan has lead his troops up the northern route and has handed the southern headed army to the capable hands of General Kiddus, the advance continued until the enemy was pushed entirely out of India.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/indos.jpg

In a surprise move, the American government has voted to declare war on the Germans in the name of democracy and citing the sinking of a luxury liner known as the Lusitania. The Confederate government in Richmond called a session discussing possible intervention, due to considerable Confederate pull in the US, however the Whig Party voted to allow the US to join the war in hopes of continuing the Allied war effort.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/wras.jpg

and finally, two of the three fronts have been closed as an army lead by Subi, the Minister of Silly walks. Since those not involved in either the South African or Indian fronts were busy dealing with minor rebellions in California the minister was called upon to lead the cakewalk.

General Princescamp and General Ironman have achieved victory in South Africa, closing up the final front of the war and leaving the army with nothing else to do but occupy the land and await the eventual British peace offer

Whoah that's a hell of a lot of regions.

Can you simplify that for us?

Meanwhile, I'll be out on safari.

-arms rifle-

basically we get a few Islands, West Africa and South Africa

Accept nothing less than all of India and all of the Africas.

Yeah, try that.

Even take London if you have to to get India, Afghanistan, and Burma.

After, take all of the Indian minors.

we actually can't take London in a colonial war, and although I hoped to take India the Brits refuse to give up even one province in India but will give up most of Africa.

If we want India we'd have to start another two wars, take the rest of Africa and Alaska and then India would be their only colony left

Peace!

Peace has been officially signed in the Hall of Mirrors in Versailles, the victorious Central powers gloating over the defeated allies, France and Britain have surrendered most of their African colonies and Egypt has gained independence, in a separate treaty the Confederacy has accepted East and South Africa along with Samoa, the Falklands and a few other Islands in exchange for peace.

How long did that war last?

Also, excellent work Cap'n!

You have inspired me to do a Confederate game here.

Anyone who wants to know my progress, ask me.

The war ended up lasting from June 28th, 1914 to November 30th, 1918

and thank you :D

Good to hear I've inspired someone, feel free to fill us in

Impressively close time-frame to the historical war.

The decision of the U.S.A. to join the Allied Powers should be noted though. That said, the Lusitania was a beautiful ship (Scottish built as well, a tragic loss). I would have gone to war over her loss as well.

Erm...and for the people lost on it too, of course.

Won the Civil War, got all Border States.

And for sake of AARtiquette, I'll keep it a secret.

After about 4 years of Industrial and millitary growth

Good.

Now invade Sokoto.

If we wish to expand our African holdings, Portugal seems to be a good target.

Portugal seems good too.

But let's make it short and sweet.

INVADE SOKOTO!

Sokoto is a British puppet government so the cost might be a little high

and Portugal lost its colonies to Germany, the Green there is the Soviet Union :p

Well, that certainly sucks.

Next time, attack, get India, rinse, repeat. Even some Indian minors, maybe.

The Soviets are getting a little too powerful for my tastes...

would anyone have any idea what could be used as a symbol of sorts for flotillas or armoured divisions?

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Panzer-Cross-1.gif

thats German but I figured it would help clairify the type of thing I'm looking for

Quick question - when you install the southern revolutions mod, does it overwrite your normal game files or does it appear as a seperate scenario?

it comes with JSGME, which is a mod enabler that can be used to turn it on and then whenever your done with it you can go back to the program and turn it off again

Ah cool, thanks for the info:)

Perhaps one of these flags?

The bottom left one looks good.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/Tanks.jpg

following the purchase of manufactured tanks from Germany, the Confederacy has been the first nation in the world to create a tank division, it has been deployed to General Octavius in South Africa.

meanwhile, the largest Submarine army now belongs to the Confederacy with over 15 Submarines roaming the CSA's costline.

P.S: I'd like to announce I've reached my goal of 3000 views and will be transfering this game to Armegeddon after the next update

Thank you.

Please, I heard there are hotfixes. Install them.

I would love to, however I have no clue what they are

if you could find out I would install them

They're on the Paradox forum.

I know you have an account on there; I answered a question for you on there (yes, I am the D'Artagnan59 there. I am the One True D'Artagnan59. Any others are stalkers.).

Try asking there for them.

Considering how vastly different the world is, how are you going to make HOI2 work properly? The vanilla game relies on a huge amount of scripting to cause WW2 to start and even then it sometimes doesn't.

So what if WWII doesn't happen? Something is bound to happen, and when something unexpected happens, it makes it that much more fun.

I've spotted you on there:) I'm 'parabola' if I ever get round to posting there, I normally just lurk!

So what if WWII doesn't happen? Something is bound to happen, and when something unexpected happens, it makes it that much more fun.

The problem is that something isn't bound to happen. Apparently it's quite possibly to go through a converted game without any interesting wars. Quite often nations get too powerful and just invade all the small countries and get even more powerful but are still too scared to take on powers their size. Germany, for example, in this game will probably have a lot of IC making it near impossible for the Allies to do anything against them. Probably the best course of action during the game is to declare war on the Axis. That would make for a very exciting game.

I normally lurk too.

P.S. Did you notice that we have the same birthday, Davo?

:lol: Ironically, Patton's ancestors (http://www.vmi.edu/archives.aspx?id=5299) served in the CSA during the Civil War. :crazyeye:

In the event WWII does break out in Africa, I request permission to drive the Germans and their allies all the back to Tunis. Then we'll hit 'em in Sicily and Normandy. :D

The CSA celebrates as its first planes are created, resulting in the worlds largest air force as nobody else really sees a military application for these flying machines, when asked for comment the President said "well if nothing else we can look at stuff while we're up there."

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/depressed.jpg
Following a large trend of unregulated investment and buying on margins the stock market has crashed resulting in closed factories and widespread unemployment. The Confederacy braced for the beating its own industry would suffer.

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Captain2/des.jpg
only to be disappointed.... coupling a small population with 0% taxes on anyone who owns a business the Confederacy has had no additional unemployment and in fact several new factories and modes of transportation have been built, such as the automobile.

and following a phone call from India the President has issued a his deepest apologies to General Kan and his troops, who seem to have been left in India since the end of The great war, and he has promised that they will be picked up shortly and delivered back to good Ol' Dixie

Very good AAR.

Are you going to convert this and continue onward?

Seconded. Can't congratulate on a fine story if it's not quite completed yet :)

actually to be entirely truthful I'm staring at the screen trying to figure out how to start it :D

"We're screwed" Awesome answer!

Also, how did you forget about an ENTIRE ARMY!?

well you see....the way I figure it happened is....judging the variables...wind resistance... and umm....

*watches Kan aim rifle and shoot Captain in the leg*

Did this ever get converted?

yes, theres a second part called "Here be dragons" I forget the reason for the name but I found it funny at the time.

Also its one update away from being complete but if you read the last update I did do and think logicially its extremely predictable

The first move should be to finally annex the Union states :)
