- The Russian people rise up and work rapidly to industrialize and populate, to bring the U.S.S.R. into a world power status.
 
Charles De Gaulle Is Dead

PARIS, FRANCE – French :frog: military command released a statement today stating that General Charles de Gaulle, leader of the French Military forces, has died. The cause of death was not released. De Gaulle was reportedly vacationing in the south of France when he was told of the recent German offensive. Reporters have been unable to substantiate reports that a sheep :sheep: in a maid’s outfit also somehow perished in the incident.

France has just named Tim “L’enchanter” de Gaulle, the less famous, younger brother of the late General Charles de Gaulle as the new commander of the French forces. Shortly after taking command, the new General made a statement to a Paris gathering regarding the German invasion.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right, but the Third Reich surely is wrong!” Tim shouted while the crowd enthusiastically sipped their coffee and smoked their cigarettes. “We will punish the foolish Germans!”

“My first act as leader of the French forces,” Tim continued, “was to announce to La Fuhrer, ‘I fart in your general direction! Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries. Now go away, or I shall taunt you a second time!’”

“The Germans have vastly underestimated the fighting spirit and engineering prowess of the mighty French people,” Tim shouted to the gathered artists, philosophers, and poets, “and they will regret having dared to attack us.”

As he was leaving, de Gaulle turned to one of his top military aides and was overheard shouting “Fetchez la vache!”

In other news….
Report from Week 4:
After taking control of the Minor Allied forces, General Tim de Gaulle conducted a quick survey of Minor Allied military forces and found a large number of dead bodies where defenders were supposed to be in Salzburg, Rheims and Danzig. In fact the response from Danzig of “Gehen Sie weg. Es gibt niemand hier,” caught the recon team quite off-guard. However, our neighbors in Belgium report that German claims of the Low Countries being captured appear to be typical exaggerations from the Nazis. (Played it differently this time around, huh Pap?)

One renegade M3 Division commander was about to rush to the defense of an empty Brussels, (“Because the Germans can’t make a decent waffle!” he declared.) but when reminded of the prohibition on Allies declaring war on Neutrals, he ended up following his original orders. :(

Meanwhile, those who aren’t already dead or dying in Poland and Greece continue trying to merely live out their lives in peace.

While all this news is troubling, Minor allied leaders stand firmly behind their claims that the might of the French shall prevail in this war!
 
file? or are you e-mailing pap? oh nevermind, you sent it while I was typing this.:crazyeye:
 
...and the file should be named week4 not week 2. Hopefully I'll figure this out before I lose all my cities.
 
Pap? been four days.
 
Sorry guys but i quit!!
This is too boring:( . English troops haven´t seen action for a week :mad:.
So, if someone wants to take my place, you can do it. There´s no password, so just download the file.
Good luck.

Bye.
 
Aw, damn. Well, pleasure doing business with ya.

Just in case a potential player isn't reading this thread, I'll set up a separate one to get attention, like they've done before.

If there really is nobody, I'd be willing to let Tim play both, so that all the allies are in effect one civ. We can't have him just switch from MA to A, because then there would be an AI/human imbalance since someone's still playing the minor axis. And I can't do it since the Soviets and Allies rival each other for dominating Europe, so there would be a conflict of interest.

That's neither here nor there, though, since I'm sure someone will want to play.
 
I'm editing this post from before, I just realized that oubai1 vouched for it about a half-hour earlier, and I said first come first serve. So I guess it's him unless you want to convince him otherwise.

Anyhow, still friggin pap's turn!
 
No prob, i guess. While you're around here I have to remind you of the apolyton ZWK too, before they give me your civ, the allies (I'd rather play the minor axis, so I hope you're still playing).
 
Pap, you're allso missing in the History PBEM at Apolyton.

The Allies Continues its preparations for the attack on Germany.
Condolances goes to the families of the fallen French soldiers.

*Axis sup sunk in the North Sea
*Allied Air Raid near Dunkirk
 
Not to doubt my new good friend Mr. Churchill, but isn't willem (independents) after Pap?
 
Wait, I thought I just said oubai was going to play the allies. Or did he tell you it was ok if you did?
 
OK, so is it sas, or oubai? :confused:
Whomever it is, I wouldn't mind the opportunity to discuss a few strategic points (via PM) before they go.

Also, will we eventually see a report from the Axis, or are we just supposed to guess how many losses we've taken again?
 
it's willemvanoranjes turn...

I'm playing in several games Pap is playing in, and he's very slooooooooooow at doing his turn. Also his reports are most of the time extremely short. Perhaps he's playing more games than he really should.

Actually, I wasn't asking who's turn it is, I was asking who is playing the Allies. Did you and oubai work things out? Because Darius said he replied first.

I already wasted a week talking strategy to academia, and I don't want to work through things with you, only to find out that Oubai is going to be Churchill.
