Steve to start.

War with France Resumed
France's continued violations of the Peace of Amiens have finally forced Pitt's Cabinet into a declaration of war. In a rousing speech at Parliament, the Prime Minister declared that Great Britain would not rest until the French dictator was deposed and the status quo finally restored in Europe.

These strong words were followed by stronger actions, as the Royal Navy moved into action. A French smuggler in the English Channel was boarded and scuttled by British marines, while a French frigate off Brest blundered into an English ship-of-the-line and was promptly blown to smithereens. In the Mediterranean too a Royal Navy frigate chased down and sank a French brig off the coast of Sardina. With this promising start to the campaign against France it does not seem as if any ships will soon be contesting Britannia's control of the seas.

...and the save.

Prussian Army Takes to the Field

In light of the new outbreak of war between Britain and France, the Prussian government has decided to secure our frontiers by uniting the minor Germanic nations under the Prussian flag. In accordance with this policy, Prussian troops have begun sieges of the cities of Rostock and Ulm.

Prussia Considers Alliances

The Prussian government has announced that it is open to offers of alliance from all other European nations.

Austrian Empire Declares itself neutral in Franco-Brittish War
Emperor Heinrich I of the Holy Roman Empire of German nation has declared that the Empire will not get involved in the recent hostilities between the Empire of France and Brittain.
However he does offer his skills as a mediator and hopes that the conflict can be halted within the near future ;)

War with the Ottoman Empire
In the war against the muslim Ottoman Empire the city of Constanta has fallen to the advancing Imperial armies, and more cities are expected to follow within the near future...

Austrian VPs:
49 (+1)

Hello guys!

Russian flag wages over Constantza and Nal'chik ;)

PS: hope the file name is OK:rolleyes:

Hi, big W! Welcome on board.

The filename is fine...;)

wages!?!?! :eek:

I wonder what the coño I was thinking of ... :$$$:

thank you Juanito ;)

:D

You were probably thinking of the war you were about to "wage"...

(Little John of Sussex)

France and Britain reach a peaceful understanding, and agree to act towards maintaining order in Europe.

France, provoked by the petty German princes, dissolves the HRE and declares the Rheine Confederation, and has sent troops to establish order here and in Italy.

France extends a peaceful hand to Spain, as well as Prussia and Austria, provided they do nothing to support German and Itailan "rebels".

Spain has just begun economic reform within it's borders.

Spain has no wish to enter the Italian conflict and extends a peaceful hand towards France and Britain.

Our military goals are to lift the Ottoman threat in Africa, and to liberate Morroco and the rest of North Africa.

Sweden announces a campaign against Norway. Otherwise, we wish to remain at peace with our neighbours...

Several Norweigan batteries destroyed in the first fighting, but a Swedish Jaeger battalion also wiped out.

Bumping WinterFritz

It's been allmost a month!!

As Umpire, perhaps i should make WinterFritz's turn?

Yeah, I think that might be a good idea. I will mail him, and if there is no reply by the weekend, I will let you know.

John

An independant source has confirmed that the British Royal Admiralty is currently on holiday at their estates outside of Dublin, enjoying very spirited games of cricket and tiddly winks. It has been confirmed that this is the cause of delay in any major British movements, hopefully they will return to the business of ruling their worldwide empire soon. (So this PBEM can continue....):lol:

It seems the British Royal Admiralty has returned. Independant Brig sunk between Alborg and Goteborg. Sunk a French 2 decker, frigate, Brig and merchantman just south of Norwich. Sunk a French 2 decker and merchantman just south of Plymouth. Moved a lot of units around and also moved my trade around.

England is wondering if France wants it's entire fleet sunk before France will end this war or does France wish to end hostilities now. Please PM me so we can discuss.

England is also open to discussions with any of the other European powers. ALSO LET ME KNOW IF WE HAD AGREEMENTS PRIOR TO THIS. Im filling in for Winterfritz until further notice and I will warn you all now Im quite a rude bumper!:p

Verbosity later, here is the file, we need to get this PBEM going again!:eek:

Rule Britannia:king:

OOPS

Heres the file

The invincible Prussian army has stormed the minor German state of Rostock. While casualties were heavy, the prize of this great city more then makes up for our losses.

The Austro-Hungarian empire continues its struggle to modernize it's society...

Waku

Its bump time again:spank: :spank: :spank:

:)

It looks like we need a play thru. Which really sucks on this one because AoA was the French! SAS did you by any chance get a password? If not I guess Voltar has to play thru.

Lets get moving and hope we can find a replacement soon!

Thanks:spank: :spank:

No password here :(

SAS, check the home thread. If Darius can't take over for AoA, the password is "chris".

Ah Steve, you done f**ked up now...

In response to the Royal Navy's treacherous attacks on French ships under banner of truce, Napoleon has no choice to declare war on Great Britain... again. They have tried to make the excuse that this was a string of accidents, but in reality gross incompetence is just as dangerous as a sneak attack would have been, so we must teach the beancounters a lesson either way.

- When given the orders to resume hostilities, our generals were completely flustered as our troops had been scattered throughout the Empire during the phony ceasefire that we were tricked into signing. Nonetheless, we were able to load what troops we could into half of our invasion barges and Merchantmen in the channel and launch raids on some British cities.

Much to our surprise, the defenses of Dover and Plymouth in particular were so paltry that we managed to capture them! Our scattered and confused troops were mobilized in such haste that we weren't able to provide the two cities with decent garrisons, but at least we will be able to damage their infrastructure during our period of occupation. Also, our attacks managed to destroy several British ships in port, which will weaken their counterattack efforts.

- The French Mediterranean Fleet has sunk two minor British convoys off Sardinia, destroying a good amount of merchant freight.

- A major naval battle has taken place just off Land's End. Several of the Royal Navy's finest capital ships are now driftwood, although French losses were startlingly high.

- Mainz and Oldenburg join the Confederation of the Rhine, and offensives will soon begin against Britain's lapdogs in Hannover.

- The cities of Ravenna and Livorno are now French territory, and the road to Rome is open. Nearby, Sardinia was annexed in its entirety.

- The king of Denmark has asked for French protection, and troops have promptly been ordered there. French troops landed on the beaches near Esbjerg and, ehrm, "actively disbanded" its garrison. It will be occupied next month.

- Numerous technologies sent to our Spanish allies in exchange for their promise of intervention against Britain. Hundreds of French cavalrymen have crossed the Pyrenees to help in whatever way they can in Spain's annexation of Portugal and Gibraltar. Good luck, king Voltar.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

After a minor incident in the channel where one of our Capital ships didnt get the news in time and we accidently sunk a few French vessels, the French decide to go to all out war, This despite the fact that the benevolent and fair English King offered compensation for the British Mistake.

France will pay for this outrage both on the battlefeild and in the Court of Worldwide Public Opinion (Not that it will make a lot of difference to that insane Corsican adventurer.)

All of Europe will soon be ablaze unless we band together and fight this naked agression! We need to rally immediately because the next target of Buonaparte (notice spelling) will be you!

Major General Wellington is being recalled from the Mahratta battlefields in India.

This month Spanish forces began their assault on Portugal. Portugal has been independent for far to long, and the time has come for it to be incorperated into the new Iberian Empire.

The assault began very well with Oporto and Figueria falling very easily.

Lagos was assaulted however due to a sudden lack of forces in the southern front, it was not captured. The city is expected to capitulated next month.

In the mean time Lisbon and Gibraltar have remained untouched.

Upon the high seas the Spanish navy saw great success. British ships east of Gibraltar were all sunk. British ships west of Portugal were intercepted with heavy casualties on both sides, a few British ships managed to survive.

Yeehaa! Wtg Spain! :goodjob:

The change of Regime in France and Britain seems to have upset the previous alliance system.

Please send you diplomats to London, any nation desiring support from (or making demands of!) Sweden.

Im not going to get this one played for a while, I need to do diplomacy for obvious reasons, maybe by the end of the weekend.

Diplomacy is not quite complete but here is the turn anyway.
Major General Wellinbgton's arrival in Portugal seems to stem the tide of the Spanish advance. Several Spanish Ships were also sunk west of Portugal.

In Great Britian all French ships and units were sunk in the Channel area. :D Dover and Plymouth were easily recaptured. Local town folk told hideous stories of mistreatment at the hands of the temporary French Captors. All Cities along the coast were fortified and the British Army is now planning a continental expedition.

Rule Britannia

:king:

NOT a BUMP but Case it is your turn.:D

Prussia requests that France pull it's cavalry back from our borders. While Prussia has no intention of joining any attack on France, the French leader would be wise to not provoke us [I know they were put there by AoA ;) ]

Henrik Bump:spank:

All is well in Austria...

Bump Waku:spank: :spank:

Waku, we miss you please come back!:)

The Umpire speaks!

As umpire, i want everyone in this game to mail me the password you're using. No slacking! If you're reading this, it means you have the time to mail me the password.


Mail: Tordenskiold@Historic-Battles.com

On it's way SAS. Sorry for the oversight.

John

Umpire playes on!

Snice Waku is lost and nowhere to be found, i have played his round.

************

*Batum captured, the Ottoman Empire will tremble at the might of the Russian empire.

*Russian fruit delivered to Stockholm.

Russia kindly ask Sweden to stop blocking Russian harbors. Currently you are blocking access to Riga. And you have stationed a fleet just ourside Reval.

- The Army of the Channel has again taken to British soil, recapturing Plymouth and Dover, as well as slaughtering the shopkeepers' piss-poor counterattackers. Surplus forces have moved forward and begun the assault on London, destroying several units. Since mere artillery was defending before we ran out of men, we can assume that their capital's back has been broken.

- France has annexed the entire Jutland Peninsula.

- The Army of the Rhine has moved forward with the mission to add Britain's lapdogs in the kingdom of Hannover to the Confederation. The city of Hannover has fallen after heavy losses on the French side. However, the large size of the city's garrison makes us believe that Hamburg and Brunswick will be lightly defended.

Good luck to Spain. :)

The siege of Lagos culminated this month with the complete surrender of troops stationed within. Now all that remains of British Portugal is it's capital Lisbon. The city is expected to fal soon.

On the high seas a British two decker was sunk west of Spain.

:goodjob:

Christiania taken (+2 VPs)

Nothing much else to say...

Im playing my turn right now but have a problem with destroyed cities and the lack of stackable hexes after they are gone. Ive aked our fearless leader for a determination and I believe he is going to post something here or at the hompage and then I will post.:D

Steve,

Your counterattack was not only fair - it is exactly the best British
riposte to an invasion. (Including the Naval blockade - top marks!) If the French pile too may troops in where there are no NonCombatants, it is their risk, and they may lose such a stack as you describe. In the real world, it wasn't French invasion that was so impossible, it was the logistics involved in supplying and re-inforcing the invasion in the teeth of the Royal Navy that stopped Napoleon.

Darius is correct, you cannot have a stack on a city square, underlying the city. If the city goes, the square is unstackable until re-built upon or fortressed.

Please play on. This is totally within the known game mechanics, both of my scenario and Civ II generally.

While we are on the subject - if anyone, as a tactical ploy, pillages a stackable square they think an enemy army is about to move into so they can wipe them all out in one counterattack if their enemy doesn't notice, I would have to rule I pushed that this is again within the rules and is a valid Civ ploy. The AI does it all the time in SP. However, I think it is against the spirit of the game, so please don't do it in this tournament, as there is no AI player here.

Steve's dilemma is different, because the way Civ works forces him to take advantage of the absence of stackability, and not to do so would give him a maasive disadvantage.

I shall post this on the Home Thread too, as a scenario rule.

(reply at the home thread as well)

Prime Minister Lord Stephen Pitt announced today that British counterattacks against Plymouth, Dover and Figueira resulted in the destruction of all three cities. "It is an outrage!" He exclaimed. "That Corsican adventurer Bonaparte and his lackeys the traitorous Spanish have comitted crimes against mankind for first invading sovriegn British Territory and then not providing for the care, and protection of innocent civilians after the invasion." "One day when this war is over we will see to it that the Corsican Adventurer and his brother both hang from the gallows, for their heinous crimes".

In other news all French troops on British soil were destroyed. Numerous troops were burned in the counterattack on Dover.

And all the Spanish ships west of Spain have now been sent to davy Jones's Locker.

The British people have little sympathy for bonaparte, he was offered peace and war reparations for the mistakes of our ships earlier in the year.

Case

4 days

Partially my fault, I believe I forgot the email:die:


:spank: :spank:

Nothing to report

:aargh::aargh::aargh:BUMP HENRIK :aargh::aargh::aargh:

One'd think I'd get atleast a day to respond :p

All is quite in Austria...
Austrian units have been stationed in the moutnains near Munich, not to occupy the city but to protect austrian mining rights in the area.

Sinope emptied and Trabzon captured by veteran Cossacks. The siege for Constantinople will soon begin. :evil:

We wonder if any nation is willing to give us the tech for Monarchy or the tech for empire, since the Russian governmental system is kinda outdated.

We are willing to pay 300 gold for this.

Emperor Wakev ;)

Yop was in a hurry to get going obviously!

Yop I dont think you can switch governments. Look at the Read me file, I believe it is in there. And you and I have to talk about this game. Diplomacy that is.

You are correct, Steve. The game has been balanced NOT to allow goverment switching. I understand there is a bug in MP that will allow switching when you first get the relevant tech.

This should NOT be taken advantage of. All players should persevere with the Governments they start with.

And after the Russians come the French: Bill?

Bill (Diatribe) 1.5 days:D

I'm interested in seeing how he deals with the mess I left him. :mischief:

I'll have this up in a bit... just trying to get used to my short man's complex. Good God... I'm handsome.

Took a chip out of the blockade in the channel

I'll state the obvious... the rogue independent states of Kassel, Ulm and Munich will be incorporated into the Confederation of the Riene which is under French influence and protection any action taken against them by another power will be considered a hostile act against the French empire... this is negotiable and not a line drawn in the sand.

Prussia... move your merchants off of main arteries(roads and rivers), specifically outside of Mainz... otherwise the goods will be sent back to Berlin.

France is open to discussing previous arrangements, agreements that were laid down by the previous court.

Originally posted by Diatribe

Bill what does this mean. Could you be a little more specific? Like how many ships were sunk? On both sides? This has been the big battle in this PBEM and I of course am wondering what is going on. Thanks! :D

Nothing hppened.

One of my three deckers snuck out of port in Calais and sunk an english two decker allowing access to the North Sea... the blockade is still in effect.

Trondheim captured, but a regiment of the Guard lost doing it. Damn bad luck.

Guard cavalry has cleared the area of Norweigan defenders.

Rest and Recuperation for the British after holding off the best the French and Spanish can come up. With NO HELP from ANY of the bloody continentals I might add.............:(

mumble mumble "Bunch of bloody dam cowards" mumble mumble

Nothing to report in Prussia other then the fact that next month is expected to be a very good month for trade.

Henrik-1.5 days:cool:

Stara Zagora falls to the Austrian Empire.

*The city of Sinope captured.
*The first wave of Russian soldiers reaches Constantinople. (Some veteran Cossacks with 5 move ;) ) They will try to kill as many Turkish sodiers outside Constantinople as possible

BUMP for Diatribe :spank: (5 days)

As umpire, perhaps i should play his turn?

Sas he was working on the turn yesterday, I know because I talked to him. Being new lets give him a little time he is still trying to figure this out. And with Darius really screwing up the English Invasion it is probally taking Bill time to figure out what to do.:D

In a week or two we can start using the strong arm tactics, OK?. :D

Prussia... your merchants were in the way again, unless arrangements are agreed to beforehand regarding their route taken they will be removed.

Austria... two jagers have infringed upon French territory in Northern Italy and outside Zurich, if you don't pull them back it will be done for you.

Our Trade minister has announced that any future trade with French cities and protectorates will be subjected to tarriffs of 30% with a minimum of 50 gold per merchant after it's sale of goods. Any merchants not reported(origin, destination, route, goods, gross sales) to the minister and found within France will have their merchandise confiscated. Waivers may be granted as the minister deems fit.

The battle against the British yokes continues.

This month two Double Deckers and a Frigate were sunk west of Corruna without a single Spanish ship lost.

I shall play tonight....

And I won't be trading with France, that's for sure! Maybe England would be happy to receive Swedish goods?

Looks like the wrong turn Voltar. It has a file date of 30/12/02, just like the last turn...

sorry

A lovely little bit of Horse-trading with London, this month! ;)

A Norweigan force defeated outside Stavanger. The capture of the city looks to be imminent.

Ho HUM

Case 2.5 days:spank:

Nothing to report

Nothing to report

Wrong savename, Henrik. Sure it's the one AFTER your move...? (By the way, I've moved in Colonies 312)

Chris plays before me in 312 I'll have a look at the posted boney turn (and post the ones remaining in a few hours).

I believe it's the right file, which just has the wrong name.

Final assault on Constantinople prepared
More and more Russian troops are arriving at the gates of Constantinople each month. More than 5 elite regiments are already stationned there, and have killed a Turkish mamelukes regiment.

Next month, even more troops will land via sea, and the assault will probably start in about 6 months.

Diatribe- 2.5days!:spank:

Diatribe - 9.5 days this needs to be Umpired!:wallbash: :wallbash:

SAS you need to umpire.

Once the password is removed i will certainly play ;)

All the passwords have been removed!


British Two Decker and Transport sunk near Brest, with the loss of a French Three Decker.

Prussian Merchant near Cologne is blocking the movement of French troops. Unless moved out of the way by next month, the cargo will be confiscated :mad:

Austrian Jager Battalions is positioned just outside Turin and Zurich. You must move them back to a less offensive position. We do not wish for a war, but the local commanders in the areas in question is given permission to remove the Autrian presence by force if nessesary.

The fortress outside Lisbon has been annihilated. The road to Lisbon is now clear.

No real Swedish events of note. Just manoevres against Norway.

Holy Cow Im up!

I dont think I remember how to play Boney 2 its been so long!

Ill give it my best shot!

:crazyeye:

The British Admiralty is vacationing again this month playing cricket and very high spirited games of Tiddly Winks at their estates outside of Dublin.

Darius/ Case is up-1 hour

Bump Henrik!!

Played a few days ago but CFC went down when I tried to post :(

Here you are :)

*Siege of Constantinople will begin in 3 days. Already more than 7 regiments stand at the gates of Constantinople.

*Bump Umpire (SAS), 9 Days

-Naval raid against Exeter and British forces south-east of Dover.

-Hamburg captured by the French army

-Rome captured


Once again, we must protest at the presence of Autrian forces near French cities!

The Austrian Jager Battalions near Geneva, Zurich and Strasboug must be withdrawn immediately. Failure to do so will seriously damage the relations between our nations. As stated last month, local commanders have been given permission to remove the Austrian Jager Battalions that have crossed the French-Austrian border. But France does not want or seek war with our neighbour in the east.

This is the last and final warning!

Voltar-5 days!!!!!:eek: :cry:

Spanish forces take siege position on the Iberian.

It's a bit late tonight. I will play tomorrow.

Swedish turn....

bump Steve. 4 Days

Developing Trade, limited attacks outside of Lisbon.

All quiet in Prussia

Jäger battalions withdrawn (or being withdrawn).

*Russian forces near Constantinople take up siege positions. More and more forces arrive at the scene and the storming of the walls will soon begin. Russian spies have already infiltrated the palace of the Turkish Sultan.
In the mean while, the Russian emperor is sad to see that the Turkish forces are now arming the civilians of Constantinople to resist to us. However, Russian forces will capture the city, be it for the glory of the Tzar.
*Caravan from Kazan reaches St.-Petersburg and leaves on merchant. The destination is unknown, but it is sure that the caravan is carrying furs, captured in Siberia.

France welcomes Austrias retreat from the French frontier. Hopefully we can learn to maintain a peacefull relationship.


-Brunswick captured, thus ending the British influence in western Prussia.

-Kassel captured, but French losses where extremely heavy. Only vastly superior numbers was the reason for the fall of the city.

-Pescara captured in Italy.

-Continued attacks on Exeter, destroying some defending forces. Sadly, there was losses as well.

Voltar Turn-1 hour

Spanish artillary opened fire on Lisbon. The city easily succumbed and victorious Spanish forces marched into the capital. Portugal is now wholly a part of Spain.

I'll play tomorrow.

I'll play this tomorrow as well.

But tomorrow WILL come! :)

Sweden moved. No news.....

John I think you made a mistake. This is turn 9 and this is last turn you posted. I know because I stil have Lisbon and Voltar just captured it.

I played on from the French turn posted above by Voltar, also turn #9.

Which one should I have played from? The turn number changes with Austria...

John assuming Voltar posted the correct file, you should have posted turn 9, you posted turn eight.

I know because everything was the same as the last time I played. Including Voltar not capturing Lisbon yet.

So someone used the wrong file and like Truman said the Buck stops here.

Sorry, ignore me. I am replaying the turn from the correct save now.

Stavanger taken. No other news....

Bulding up "Fortress Britian".

Case- 1 hour, email sent.:D

Nothing notable happened in Prussia.

Alliance anounced with Bavaria!
The fact that the King of Bavaria signed the treaty while imperial forces where parading in the streets of Munich outside is said to have nothing to do with this radical new stance of the Bavarian government...

The island of Corfu was also seized by Austrian soldiers this month.

Apart from that various economical reforms are underway.

*This month saw a glorious victory for the imperial Russian army. Constantinople, the jewel of the east was captured by imperial Russian forces. Artillery regiments under control of general Godachev first began attacking the gigantic fortress, but were killed in a raid by Turkish infantery.
Then, more and more artillery was brought in and they also attacked the already damaged fortress. Though some men were lost after a shell exploded on their position, the fortress was so damaged that Russian grenadiers could move in and secure the city gates and the gigantic fortress. Then, Russian spies took over the palace of the Sultan and managed to take the Sultan as prisoner. He was then immediately executed. The Turks already did too much to the Russians.
With the killing of the Sultan, the last paramilitary militias that were still in the city gave up resistance. They were all executed too.
With the city in Russian hands, the reconstruction can begin, as there is now chaos and a large food decifit in the city. Russian engineers already constructed a fishing harbor to ensure a food supply.
*A regiment of Turkish infantery surrendered to Russian forces after they were encircled by Russian forces moving west from Constantinople and Austrian forces moving east. These soldiers will be brought to Siberia to a slave camp.
*The Russian Tzar wants to ensure the Austrian king that Russian soldiers will not cross inside the Balkans, unless the Austrians want some assistance there.

-Paris institutes Legion d'Honneur

-Naval raid against Exeter, destroying another few infantry units. And Farmer north of the city killed as well.

-Farmer south of Norwich killed by French hit and run attack.

-British Two Decker sunk south of Exeter.

-Naples, Palermo and Tunis captured by the French navy.

British Frigate sunk off the west coast of Portugal.

Copper route established with London.

Ho hum

Dye from Thorn is now available in the stores of Paris.

This month the Austrian and Bavarian ambassadors in Paris delivered their countries declarations of war to the French dictator. Austria and her allies will not stand by as Europe becomes engulfed by the French revolutionaries and their emperor!
However no hostilities have been undertaken apart from the destruction of some french trade goods on Austrian soil in northern Italy.

Henrik, you posted the wrong save. It reads g8 instead of g7 and the turn number should be 11 instead of 9.

:o

Together with it's ally, Austria, Russia declares war on France. No French units have been attacked yet, but that will change soon.
Troops are however moving towards the western borders and will soon start to attack French troops.

Napoleon is outraged by the unprovoked declaration of war by Austria and Russia against France. France had no quarrels with Austria, and we do not understand they're actions.

However, France is indeed a powerfull enemy to come up against. And to prove his point, Napoleon ordered the Italian army to attack Austria.

-As a result the entire Austrian army and Fortress west of Verona was destroyed. Nothing but rubble remains of the once great Austrian fortress.

-2 Austrian Merchantmen and 2 Frigates sunk north of Sicilia as orders where given to sink any Austrian vessels.

Napoleon is still willing to return to peace if Austria wishes the same. But be warmed that we will not sit idle awaiting a reply. The war will continue untill you accept peace, or face your own destruction. France wants nothing from Austria, only peace.

-------------

-French veteran marines contiunues the raid on Exeter, sinking several Two Deckers at port.

-In Italy, Foggia captured.

-Siege of Ulm lifted to make room for the Prussian army. The French forces have been pulled back completely.

Voltar?

This week Spanish forces finally assaulted Gibraltar. Expecting heavy resistance our forces were stunned to see only a single rifle battalion defending the city. A brief artillary barrage battered the defenders out of existance, Our Infantry walked into the city unopposed. The British no longer have a presence near the Iberian.

Ceremonies commenced this week to unite Portugal and Spain under Iberian unity. The entire weekend was declared a total holiday. People celebrated in the streets for the new Iberian Empire.

Swedish Dyes traded to Moscow and Ambassadors from the warring nations of France and Great Britain entertained.

Sweden has not yet made clear if she will join that war, and if she does, on which side!

The English were totally paralyzed this month after the Brutal attack from the French.

The Admiralty went to Checkers and Cheese and had a few Ales.

It certainly was. It was a good place, but it used to be better, before they converted half the rooms to dining rooms.

I know plenty more good ones, next time you're over....:)

Case is up!

Sweden has nothing much to report - some profitable trade, and continued development in Swedish Industry.

Ill play tomorrow, too tired tonight...............

Slowly but surely the British Empire will get its revenge.

A seaborne assault commanded by Lord Wellington was sucessfull in capturing the town of ST Brieuc.

The war is finally being taken to French Territory.

Trade was established with a location to the east.

The Prussian government is anoyed to note that the French have siezed Denmark. Prussia hereby extends a protectorate over the Danish Capital of Copenhagen. Furthermore, the Prussian Army will shortly occupy the city to ensure it's security. Any nation which attacks Copenhagen will be attacked by the mighty Prussian Army

France have no further ambitions in Denmark, and welcomes Prussian controll over Copenhagen. We will do our best to not interfer. :)

Austria closes her ranks, recapturing split.

Other than that all is quite...

Henrik, could you make an alliance next turn, so I can send you the help? ;)

Russian troops on the move. What will be the target? :)

More naval raids in the Adriatic, destroying one Austrian Horse Artillery south of Trieste and another south of Split.

A regiment of Chasseurs a Chev attacking Austrian Dragoon south of Milano ended in disaster and resulted in a total loss. A second regiment was needed to defeat the Austrian threat.

Attack on Malta, sinking numerous ships at port, and destroying two defending regiments.


St-Brieuc liberated after a combined attack of Line infantry and Cuirassiers. 1 Regiment of Line infantry was lost against the city itself, and 1 Regiment of Chasseurs was lost fighting British Dragoon Guards. But in the end, the British presence in France is no more.

With the British fleet blockading St-Brieuc, a large fleet of French Merchantmen conducted a raid on Exeter. The gamble was to find the city lightly defended since the main fleet and army had left for France. No such luck, since 2 British K.G.L Regiments defended the city. The two first attacks ended in total disaster resulting in the loss of two Line Infantry. But the K.G.L Regiments was damaged after the attacks and unable to assist in the defense, resulting in the sinking of 1 Frigate and 2 East Indiaman.

East of Esbjerg, a Russian Merchantman was sunk.

Tangiers taken. Spanish troops towards Casablanca.

Got to get an early night tonight. I will play tomorrow.

No news from Sweden, aside from the increasing pace of industrial progress....

Reconsolidating after the French farce of an invasion........:p

I hope you guys remember to rename the cities that was altered!! ;)

More Prussian troops have been landed in Denmark. Wether they like it or not, the Danes will soon be under Prussian protection.

Austria would like to ask her allies to if possible destroy the poorly guarded French barges cruising around in the Adriatic sea...

Oh, and the brittish pay their subsidies and Prussia got Uhlans and a new Guard unit.

Darius, it's your move (as the Russians).

Bump Darius!

Bump Darius, 3 Months ;)

One of our frigates encounters a French brig off Greece, but doesn't have time to destroy it before the end of the month. :(

Prussia and Britain: for some reason your ships are collectively blockading the Kattegat. If this is a mistake please move them, but if there is a reason please announce it and explain why it justifies cutting off Russian merchants. :mad:

Prussia: two convoys of trade goods are about to cross the border and head for Prague and Harlingen. Please let us know what routes would interfere with your own transportation the least.

France Strikes Back!

France took the port Valletta on the island Malta with no casualties. Napoleon commenced the Invasion of Austria, which ended with France overwhelming the garrison of Split.

All quiet in Spain.

Nothing to report....

Build up of the Military and Trade continues.

The Prussian Army has nearly completed it's build up outside the city of Copenhagen.

Split retaken, all recident French units killed including two transports in port.

This month we saw our first combat against the French, easily capturing Alborg.

i will umpire this game tomorrow

Umpire play:

Several Austrian musketeers destroyed outside Verona.

Naval raid on Exeter, sinking 2 Two Deckers. Heavy french losses as well :mad:

Battle continues in North Africa

I'll play tomorrow....

Nothing to report except coal convoy sent to Edinburgh.

Nada

The bombardment of Copenhagen has begun, and is progressing well, with a Danish regiment based in the outskirts of the city being destroyed.

The AI has been in charge of Austria it seems. Viennas garrison has been emptied and thrown at the prussian forces near Munich by General AI :(
The austrian high command is most dismayed and would like to apologize to the Prussians who we wish no harm :o


Definatly ctrl-Ned this time though

Darius 26 days!

:mad:

Guys, i would love to umpire, but Russia is at war against France that i'm allso umpiring.

I can play the round without any combat, but i'm sure that will be to the disadvantage of the Russians. And if i do attack, i know the exact location of the French army/fleet.

As Sweden, I could play the Russian turn if you like, Stian....

Russia is buisy ;)

No relevant news.

Now what? Perhaps Spain can play France. They are allied and at war against the same opponents.

Yea, movement!

I dont care who plays France.

France is FiGu.

Lets just send him an email. He has been around at Apoly.

And CDGroup. An email should do it.

FRENCH TURN:

Russian Two Decker and Merchantman sunk
Corfu captured

SPANISH TURN:

De nada

No news, apart from the discovery of Industrialisation. :D

An attack on Bergen prepared for next month....

Drinking hoards and hoards of Great English Ale and Singing Beer "God Save the Queen" while lusting after busty blonde Pub Maidens;

John the part you are supposed to notice is the "busty pub maidens".

Jeez, I knew marriage would ruin you ;)

Oh, I noticed. But as a newly-wed, I don't have the strength left for playing away from home these days....As long as the wenches keep the beer coming....oh, no! I can't even drink any beer until next month...:(

Copenhagen Falls!

Following a massive bombardment, Prussian troops have stormed the great Danish fortress city of Copenhagen. Casualties amoung the assault batteries were sadly high, but the deaths of these brave men was a small price to pay for enhancing the military glory of Prussia!

Could someone remind me why I'm at war with prussia?
Was it caused by the AI attack last turn (in which case I'll be more than happy to sign a peace treaty) or does it date back longer?
I notice Prussia is not allied with france or at war with any other french enemies...

Austria wishes for no conflict with her northern neighbor.

Austrian turn was uneventfull.

Darius to play.

Darius 5 days

Esbjerg easily captured.

should i sub this one?

Have you emailed FiGu? It's only been a few days.....

Nothing mu.... oh wait, 5-10 Russian units destroyed outside Perscara without losing a single unit. ;)

Voltar to move...

Spanish arillary bombard Algiers in submission.

Wrong file.

My apologies Darius.

Bergen taken. It took two Foot Artillery destroyed, and another veteran Foot Artillery 95% destroyed, to take the two Independent Musketeer regiments out.
