In the Shadow of Rome

It was all those inflamatory comments from the Axis side
 
Of course!!! The USER in its socialist wisdom is never guilty of anything resembling a transgression unlike the capitalist oppressors of Germany who keep their proletariat chained to their machines!`
 
@ TerrisH - that was my approach until suddenly I decided to join the Axis, with whom I am not even listed as a member.

To USER
From AHY

You attack us and claim it is our fault? I strongly advise you to accept blame for your invasion. It will do your country more good than attempting to shift the blame. You have started a world war. If you accept your own failings, we might be more inclined to accept your views of ours as well and work to RESOLVE the conflict rather than fight to the death (probably going to happen, especially for me.).
 
J_EPs, I would like to speak to you if you believe AHY becomes a lost cause...

As for a new position I suggest Russia because they I do not believe Azale is still playing and if not you need to take on the helms.
 
To AHY
From the USER

The proposals will be sent to you after the update shows our victories. Rest assured however had the AHY continued with the Soviet-Austrian Friendship Pact instead of joining the Anti-Commintern Axis (an alliance set up against our peace loving treaty) Out relations would not of come to this juncture.
 
To USER
From AHY

We are interested to see what your offers are. Also, we concur with your statement of the fact that our relations would not be like this if we had not joined the axis. We would have been like PRE. One day a constitutional monarchy the next day a puppet of USER.
 
Starting update now
 
To AHY
From USER

By no means is the PRE a puppet and its only reliance on the USER was to defeat the rebellion that the Axis supported.
 
The Axis remained neutral. We never did send any aide what so ever and only supported a peace treaty be made to end the conflict.

At least Germany supported that.
 
somewhat eagerly awaiting the update.

OOC @Farow I think I misworded my resposne to your pm. If it looks consfusing in the last sentence pm me and I will re-word it.
 
Come on update, comon.
 
it's coming, the Operation Red October has been finished, but i need to do the actual wars now.
 
oh wait i know what red october is!
 
you must have been planning that since the beginning sheep.

DIPLOMATIC POUCH

To: Anti-Commitern Axis
From: Madagascar

We wish to join your alliance due to the Soviet attack on our nation.

To: Brazil
From: Colombia

We wish to make you an offer. We will recompense you for your submarine with 1 IC, however we will join the Pacific Agreement and fight alongside you against Venezuela and the communist rebels if you accept.

OOC

@nuclear kid, I did not recieve confirmation from freakonomics for the trade of Gustav designs, therefore all meduim tanks you built this turn were Panzer IVs. In addition, you cannot trade individual designs, only techs, therefore you are stuck with the Panzer IV.

Azale has been removed as leader of Russia, once more NPC.

@warman17, i did not recieve a map to go with your New Englander orders, so mostly i had to do guesswork on who was attacking where.

WORLD MAP
 
NOTE: I'M EXHAUSTED, NEED TO SLEEP, REST OF THE UPDATE COMES TOMORROW AFTERNOON, SORRY FOR THE DELAY
 
How did half of the worlds governments suddenly get overthrown in one month? I understand there was Soviet support but I doubt that it would be this bad... Especially in Greece. I mean I understand a coup but I thought communists had very little support like two seats. Even with heavy soviet support I doubt it would be successful.

Oh well I will try my best. I really need someone to take on Russia.


Edit: I am sorry if I posted too early. That is one of the worst things to do :(. I am not complaining just inquiring why that happened. I will keep playing and looking forward to the challenge.
 
what's left to update and i must say sheep that was brilliant you had everything fall into place since the begining was the french civil war just to keep hostilities down while you prepared?
