It seems to me that NESs have too many rules now. This NES will be nice and simple for those who dont have the pateince to read the dull NESs where you have to wait a day to post more or there are rules for combat. Anyone and any amount of people are allowed to post onto this one. Combat will be decided by whatever is written first about the ending of the battle. The only rule is please keep it close to the game! The map of the story will slowly evolve over people's descriptions in the story.

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

Riding in his carrige to the Military Academy which also acts as the American's headquarters in New York Abraham Lincoln reviewed the urgent message that had summoned him from his sleep.

It seems that his Scienctists has discovered a new mineral, called coal, which could revolutionize transportation and naval warfare. According to the scientists this dicovery has not yet been developed by the neighboring Germans and Zulu (this could get ugly).

Also reported was that there was not a large enough deposit of coal anywhere in America for the new railroads and ironclads to be produced.


Upon arriving at the Military Academy Lincoln went straight to the building's war room where the advisors began to inform him on what he already knew. Lincoln knew he would have to enter into war for this miracle mineral. Both of the other civilazations on the American continet has a source of coal, the Zulu and the Germans. He could not ask for a trade as they might inquire to the value. Now war will begin, but against who?

There we go, a nice ruleless NES started right here. Let's get it rolling. Once again: KEEP IT CLOSE TO THE GAME!
 
That's the whole point, add the nations as you go.
 
And do you also make up the units, and the amount of gold and everything?:confused:
 
Just continue the story. It is only a story, number of units doesn't matter, you just tell the story of a battle in form of a newspaper, radio, TV, or by someone right in there. Just a fictional story, nothing more.
 
Suddenly the ZULU attack the Americans to conquer them! Thousands upon thousands of screaming African guys carrying muskets come rushing into American territory, surprising the 21st Cavalry Regiment!
 
Thats right. Matt's got it.

------

The torn banner of the 21st Calvary still flew in the air as wave after wave of Zulu Musketmen Charged the fortress. Screams of pain came from the wounded of both sides as the battle raged. Here like many other places along the Zulu-American border the Zulu were driving the Americans back.


As the reports kept streaming into Lincoln's office he grimly looked over the battlefeild reports. Houston, Miami, and Atlanta had all fallen to the Zulu musketmen. The entire offensive army of America had been wiped out in the first week of the war. The Germans were also moving troops to both the Zulu and American borders. Many gifts had been sent to keep the Germans from getting involved. Fortunately the Zulu has no horses so the advance will begin to slow soon. But even considering that the Americans need a miracle to survive this.
 
The English Captin of the Man-of-war Britannia watched over the bay at the battle. The Zulus were shooting at the Amercians but the Amercians were dug in firing cannon with a speed the english sea dog laughed at. "Ha! They think that they can win this battle all alone".
As the Ship of the Line turned and presented its broadside a volly of shot sailed over the air striking the helpless Zulu warrious. This killed many but the many that survived were just spurned on.

This is my first go, so im sorry if its crap
 
It is no problem, just glad people are joining in.
 
LOL, I just gotta make a post here.

Lincoln wore a smile upon his face as he looked at the report: The Science Department had just learned how to make replaceable rubber gaskets for rifles. The 39th Infantry Regiment, being upgraded to use these new weapons, were ready to assalt the primitive Zulu and their muskets.
--------------------------------------------------------------
General Robert E. Lee, leader of the 39th, roared as he and his regiment charged into the Zulu lands, firing their new rifles with new pointed bullets like crazy. The Zulu went down like flies, their colorful yellow uniforms stained with blood. The regiment cheered as the boom of cannon from the Brittania sounded, the cannonball crushing three Zulu. The Americans had incorporated rubber gaskets into their artillery, and shells flew everywhere, crushing any and all Zulu fortifications. A team of men carrying a big heavy-looking gun placed it on a tripod and fired. It was amazing, it fired at least 9 bullets a second. This new gun was named the machine gun by the Americans. The Zulu were quickly forced back into their territory, and the Americans reclaimed their lost land.
 
The German leader Vishnacough sent his troops west from Berin toward the American capitol of New York to try to assanate Abraham Lincoln, but was stopped by an American army led by general Grant. After a long battle the Germans were defeated by the more advanced American soldiers.
 
The German army regroupped in the York Mts. surrounding New York and headed south through the swamps toward England, but stopped at the sea that seperates England from America.
(I just felt like making up the terrain to help with the map)
 
I will be gone for a week or two, so someone can controll Germany untill I come back.
 
lol, this is exactly what the original NES concept actually was - the Never Ending Story(see far down the pages, it was the first ever NES).

Pity that one died...

Anyway, I'll try and post here later.

Nemesis
 
I know, I was in it. Hopefully i do better in this one than i did in that one. I was france for a while until everyone destroyed me no matter what i did. I left that one when, I think it was Das, began making it much like all the ones are today.

The war on the Zulu front had been slowing down despite the new wonder machine guns and constant support from the British navy. Some of this was because of the Zulu Mountains which had a line of Zulu fortresses that had stood since 300 BC. The new Zulu Riflemen were the cause of this. Modern Zulu Rifelmen and German made cannon held the american artillery and Infantry at bay near the base of the mountain range. The Americans to prevent being driven back have constructed massive lines of trenches near the base of the mountain. With American and ZUlu reinforcements arriving daily, with the Americans always having more, the new railroads bringing in thousands of troops every day, the Zulu Front had ground itself to a stalemate.
 
The British general was reading the Sunday Timies, though the headline shouted out the Zulu stalemate it was a smaller heading on the 2nd page which interested General Woolwhich.

PEOPLE FLY IN AREOPLANE FOR 5 HOURS!!

'mmm I wonder if this new improved plane could drop shells on these Zulu fort's? Jeeves could you fetch me the carriage I'm off to see the Prime Minster'
 
Shells burst over the American trenches. The constant explosions forced the Americans to almost constantly keep their heads down. With the Zulu discovering Replaceable Part too the once Jungle filled heartland of the Zulu began churning out machine guns and artillery. The Zulu had also been winning the sea war, Hundreds of Zulu Ironclads had been using their vast numbers to drive the British fleet away from the Zulu-American-German coast. For the past 5 years during this seige of the Zulus massive leaps had been made in science. British planes, American subs, and German Hydro-electric dams, it is only a matter of time until one new invention could change the course of the war.
 
"This, gentlemen, is my prototype for a horseless, armored carrige which will revolutionize warfare," said Lincoln's leading scientist."With the Rubber and Oil gained by our counterattack into the German swamplands and deserts, we can build and mantain thousands of these veicles." After a thunderous around of appluase from the British and American generals, the supreme commander of the British and American troops on the Zulu front, Robert E. Lee, stood up and said,"gentlemen, as you know the Zulu forces are barricaded inside a massive chain of fortress built through mountains that protect the Zulu heartland. Our problem with these fortresses is that we can't get our artillery or troops close enough to blow holes in what the Zulu call the Shaka Line."
The commander's aide then stood up and for the general said," With this new veicle we can ride right over Zulu barbed wire and use it's cannon mounted on top to blow hole in it. We will have 1000 tanks ready for this purpose in 1 year. Then we will strike and burn the Zulu heartland to the ground."
 
I cant allow you burn the Zulu heartland! All english forces all now in the Shaka Line we will not attack you first but we coundnt allow you yo murder thousands of people!
