C3C PBEM : Grognards - Napoleonic scenario-based PBEM

[akots]

Austria heroic military struggles to bring themselves on to the second place amongst European powers and has accomplished another massacre of Russian troops during the battle of Koenigsberg saber-butchering 5 Guards, 7 Jaegers and 3 Cossack regiments. The city has been captured along with a cannon. There are big balls in Vienna. (I love this song.)

Glups. And reglups for 10 characters limit

 

[LouLong]

New turn started

 

[Rubberjello]

Hmmm..... Maybe resend the save to the Ottomans? (Unless Akots already got it and played, and didn't post here with new events).

 

[akots]

Got the file somehow, playing as I type this. I would just like to remind that the attachment better contain no spaces in the filename or be zipped into an archive with no spaces and special characters in the filename. This considerably improves its travel time over e-mail and arrival probability to the destination.

Played and sent to St.Petersburgh

 

[LouLong]

New turn started.

Spain is putting a fight whenever possible but we are down to 4, wait, 3, wait, 2, wait.... cities.
The Spanish-Russian alliance is disappearing. Now Austria or England ? Looks like Europe will be red...

 

[akots]

Turn sent to St. Petersburgh.

 

[akots]

Next turn sent. I would like to remind again: No abandoning or razing cities in this scenario please! This have been discussed extensively! I noticed that Chisinau and Sevastopol disappeared from the map! IMO, for this turn it might be OK, but please, no more abandoning/razing cities! There are no settler units in this scenario. IIRC, the last French city has been autorazed but this was because the game crushed otherwise!

 

[akots]

Next turn sent. Russia lost Minsk this turn in addition to Vilnus lost on a previous turn.

 

[LouLong]

Spain is down to 2 cities, 1 only soon. But we will resist to the last man !

 

[akots]

Turn dispatched to St.Petersburgh. Russia lost two cities to heroic Austrian attackers: Polatsk and Smolensk.

 

[LouLong]

Spain is ready for its last, heroic but futile (tautology indeed !) stand.

New turn started, the last for me I believe.

It will be interesting to see what goes on when England can turn East...

 

[Rubberjello]

Alas, Spain is dead.

Loulong played valiantly from a very weak starting position, and all honors are due him!

Now....what to do with a newly unemployed military....hmmmmm.....

 

[Steph]

You could disband them

 

[akots]

@Britain: There are few Swedish and Russian cities in Scandinavia left which sounds like a mighty addition to your empire especially if going for domination.

 

[akots]

Played and sent to St.Petersburgh. Town of Bryansk has been occupied. There are still a few Russian cities left but not too many.

 

[akots]

Sent to St.Petersburgh. The game is close to finish. There is only a single question remaining: will be Russia killed first or Britain wins by Domination before this happens?

 

[akots]

Turn dispatched to St.Petersburgh. The town of Tallinn has been occupied by Hussars. There seems to be a nice progress of Ottoman military in the south as well.

 

[akots]

Steph says he is leaving for 3 weeks for a business trip and gave his password to RJ. We need to figure out how to continue the game apparently. May be Loulong can volunteer as a replacement for his ally? I don't think it is a good idea to play Russia for RJ...

 

[Rubberjello]

I really don't see a conflict of interest. Steph (rather short-sightedly in my opinion) signed an MPP with Sweden. This means that Britain and Russia will be at war so no help could arrive from Britain to help the Russians against the Austrians and the Ottomans. As long as Britain never tries to gain any Russian cities, (which is Akots main concern?) --- which they won't, then I don't really see a problem.
