GNBv3, PBEM 2

don't you mean alliance with Prussia?
 
*Damascus captured.
*Cease fire with Ottoman Turks
(btw, Academia, how did you manage to destroy Baden? I thought I only had 2 troops in the city, and it was a size three city with walls.)
*Prince of Baden was imprisonned in Strassbourg. Frankfurt is now open for the Prussians to capture.
*Reïnforcements are sent to the Austrian border, to repel previous Austrian aggression.
(note: with the destruction of Baden, the AI hosed my production, so I now installed Lazyciv. Hope this doesn't happen again, because I lost about 200 shields)
 
Following Neutral demands for Prussia to retreat from its manouver grounds, in preparation for fending off a potential British invasion force, Prussia has declared war on disidents within the cities of Frankfurt and Hamburg. Swedish support of the insurgence drew further action against the so called 'Neutral States':

* Prussia sinks Neutral Frigate off the coast of Usedom

* King Gustav Adolf killed when inspecting naval fortifications

* A Swedish regiment bearing artillery was annihilated

* British cavalry regiment assisted by an infantry one caught off guard south of Hamburg- do to this action the treaty with Britain has been canceled ! Take this as a warning :skull: !!!

* None of the battles has costed even a single casualty on Prussian side!



* Two more valuable units also in the area have been spared for them to retreat either onto a ship- or if they should chose, towards Amsterdam. Prussian command is aware that the remaining troops in the area could attack our exposed units, yet their only survival is by retreating from our vast numerical superiority in the field of 4 to 1.

The Chancellor announced today "Britain wanted to test out Prussian determination- they have gotten the result of their little experiment, it is now time for them to evaluate the consecuences.... we ARE determined- not only to make a point, yet also to make a stand and the kill ..."

Prussia will NEVER hesitate to repeat such demostrations!
 
*Alliance Summit on the Krimm*


- Austria joins the Alliance of the Three Black Eagles

- Prussia pays Austria an initial 375 Talers in Gold ($) to make up for expenses previously incurred to get the paperwork done in time ;)
(Academia- rest is to follow- couldn't pick the ammount- 1000 was the next, 375 the closest...)

- Prussia presents Goethe's and Humbolt's theories of republicanism (TECH) within monarchic structures to Russia and Austria

- Russia is awarded with the advances of home economy (TECH)

- The situation between France and Prussia is relaxed after Franco/Prussian concessions involving the future of the city of Frankfurt

- At the same time the situation in Italy seems to have reached a stalemate, with both France and Austria- Prussia hopes that a greater war will be avoided, yet leaves no doubt about the fact it will take part in it if that should be required to maintain the balance of power.

Sorry, my mistake.:crazyeye:

Yop: if you donwload the file posted by Sun Tzu: : russiaaug1798.net you´ll see that Baden has size 2; just one cavalry inside, and without city walls.

- Prussia pays Austria an initial 375 Talers in Gold ($) to make up for expenses previously incurred to get the paperwork done in time
Don´t worry Winter, it´s enough
 
What test, you fool? Great Britain declares all-out war on the Kingdom of Prussia! Also, King George invokes secret alliance deal with France:

In the event of a Prussian first strike in Europe, France declares war on Prussia in exchange for a British declaration of war against Austria.

Unfortunately, due to the audacity of the wretched Friedrich Wilhelm III, we truly do have a continental war, between eastern and western factions.

- The British Expeditionary Force near Hamburg withdraws back to England until it can be expanded to a reconquering force. In the meantime our only capability against the Prussian aggressors will be to destroy any of their forces caught near the shores. This makes impossible their attacking of Copenhagen and Amsterdam, so in effect they are as safe as if I had taken them, for now.

- British spies steal documents from the Netherlands explaining the sciences of Home Economy. This is bringing about massive industrialization of the isolated British Isles, which will be able to mass produce a retaliation force faster than Prussia ever will be able to build forces of defense.

- Also, we have gifted the revolutionary science of Home Economy to our French ally, as a gesture of thanks for their support in this struggle.

- Cordoba, the last city of Britain’s Spanish claim, has been captured. British troops in Spain are now free to empty Spanish cities in assistance of France occupation forces. Once the northern part of the country has been secured by France, then British troops will be in a position to directly engage the Austrians and the Turks on land as well as sea.

King George nervously awaits the Russian reaction to these developments.

I cannot but yet quote myself and master Tzu:

"He who thinks of wisedom, is yet foolish enough as to talk of war" Sun Tzu
The only thing the British have been shouting about contains the word WAR in every second phrase- we tire of their pathetic howling and countless, empty threats.

Prussia regards British insolence of ignoring Prussian warnings as an unacceptable provocation. Britain holds 13 cities, twice as many cities in Europe than Prussia and hungers for more regardless of the fact that it would confine Prussia in between the Anvil and the Hammer. Seemingly Britain has not learned its lesson- our ministers wonder; will it ever ?

So go forth and hide behind the mighty French if yer must ! Prussia fears not Britain.


This makes impossible their attacking of Copenhagen and Amsterdam, so in effect they are as safe as if I had taken them, for now.

Prussia never made ANY attempt to take any of these- Britain sent its "expeditionary- whatever- to the shores of Hamburg- and asked Prussia to decide... well Britain asked for it- again...

Taken them, what with ? Are you going to buy them or what ?

I presume you have heard the mith of how David defeated mighty Goliath? - Prussia will teach you this one if thou should not know it, mylord.


Stay away or we will crush you!
 
Howling, and empty threats? All we wanted was for you to not take Hamburg, a pretty easy job, and you attacked us. I suggest you reread the thread.

Peace would be great in central Europe, but it can only come when Great Britain has a solid continental presence on the continent to ensure stability. Hamburg is the strategic and logistical link between Amsterdam and Copenhagen, and therefore it is as important as them.

"any British forces encountered in the vincinity of Hamburg will be destroyed"

Well sir, that is your choice. Just remember the decision you are making in terms of your reputation. This is not capturing some neutral city-state which Britain has a desire for. You will rather be suddenly and deliberately attacking British troops themselves. There is a great difference, and you should hope Russia and Austria will stand by you after you indulge in such treachery. You will see that my troops will not once attack or even near yours, even though they know that you could attack at any moment. The fact that they will sacrifice their own defense as a gesture of peace should convince you that I am committed. I will make certain that you fire the first shot.

Where is the word WAR mentioned even once! Where are the EMPTY THREATS! Reminding you that I would defend myself against your attack is no threat, dear sir. Hold your lying tongue!

You threatened us just as much over Hamburg, not to mention that you, and only you, suddenly and deliberately attacked.

Prussia never made ANY attempt to take any of these

I had just assumed that since we are at war now you could attack them, especially considering that if you don't I will, and I will have a beachead from which to attack you.

YOU ARE THE AGGRESSOR!
 
Yeah sure- and the British cannon moving in on Hamburg were just for charity too

- actually you were right the first time there were no Prussian troops close to Hamburg except that cavalry- not a single cannon of mine was even close ;) I bluffed you there... I was actually concentrating my troops around Frankfurt to take it, but you had to land with four units at Hamburg... well my bluff worked...


Why do you need to defend yourself against me _ I GOT NO SHIPS remember U R ON AN ISLAND and Hamburg is not BRITISH but just next to BERLIN :lol: :lol: :lol: (no need to bend the truth)

---

Uhm by the way, I am planning to take the ironclad out in the final version to create a more time accurate unit instead. :D

Do you think any other unit unbalances the game- i.e. Prinz of Baden being in Frankfurt and both target generating $$$ ??? Please feel free to give me some feedback of your perception ;)
 
Actually I didn't call or not call any bluff, I just knew that the forces I had left couldn't take Hamburg very quickly, and they certainly couldn't hold it :sad:. I practically put them there as bait. If you don't attack, get Hamburg and we have peace. If you do attack, at least it was you first, and I'll return from my island with a better force later, say, 10 cannon and 10 infantry escorts? Win-win.

Why do you need to defend yourself against me?

Ok, I admit, defense isn't the right word. More like retribution ;)

I cannot but yet quote myself and master Tzu:

"He who thinks of wisedom, is yet foolish enough as to talk of war"

Well, I cannot help but quote myself and master Abe Simpson:

"Oh *****, *****, *****!"

No problems with the scenario though, it's fantastic :goodjob:
 
Ooh, see they cut that out. How about this:

"Oh, bitcsh, bitsch, bitsch!" :)
 
sorry, Civ2 problems here's the game
 
Sorry guys, but there´s a problem with SunTzu´s file. In my turn i made an alliance with Prussia, sending him a sum of money. But in SunTzu´s file i´m at Peace with Prussia, and my money remains equal.
Mmm... what´s the problem?
 
ok let me try this again, i'll have the file soon..
 
Three days, SunTzu...
 
Ok, i downloaded Britains last turn again, and well Austria and Prussia aren't allied inthe save....the game i loaded up on here is the right one, just forsome reason Austria and Prussia aren't allied.
