Melifluous versus Col PBEM

[col]

No blood for horsies

The people take up the cry as our defenceless trading station is ruthlessly crushed by the advancing Us forces. Without declaring war or asking if we minded a peacekeeping corps stationed next to it, the brutal minded forces of Mel have murdered innocent civilians and razed the city.

The Romans are so outraged at this atrocity that they pledge their legions to the Lanky cause. Our horsmen are ready and willing to retreat if threatened - er that should be - to defend their homeland to the death.

The US forces will surely realise that their supply chain will shortly become very stretched.

We will not forget. The name of Melifluous will go down in the anals (sic) of history.

 

[Melifluous]

Peaceful trading city my foot...

The mighty American forces have crushed the military outpost near the eastern horse colony. In several of the Lankies houses we found hidden many wepaons of mass distraction and crates of empty Mushy Pea tins. Old stock the Lankies said but we burnt the lot to the ground anyway.
Far to the East the loyal Koreans leap to join our side as the Lanky war machine rolls east over the Ottomans and the Spanish no longer can they sit and wait for the Enemy to come to them.

The battlelines are drawn.
The Enemy must be defeated...

Melifluous

PS. Ok who let that damn whippet out here...
I dont care if it looked cute, crate it up with the rest and ship it out to the Koreans... Damnit do I have to do everything round here...

Preston saved!

Our glorious warrior holds Preston against thirty swordsman and fity horsemen says "Lanky Life"

It was nothing says Wliie Eckerslyke.

Retribution is swift as local milkman tramples swordsman.

 

[Melifluous]

Great news!

After much fighting to the south the Arabs are now successfuly integrated into the American peoples...

And to the east we have taken two of the romans two cities and burnt them to the ground...

Onward

Melifluous

Guys - what turn are you on?

 

[col]

Turns?? - you seem to be treating this as some kind of game!

It is the year 430BC and the Lankys are digging in. We're usually in a hole and digging .......

The US swords are falling like apples.

Carry on...

Col - there's a Sod near Preston.

Tell them to sod off.

The Lankies are made of sterner stuff than certain southern softy civilisations.

Over paid, over sexed and over here. Go home, yankees.

The battle for Preston rages. The first stack is repelled as warriors down swordsmen. A gallic warrior dies before he can score the goal that will take this game ito extra time. Reinforcements are being barged in from all over the county. Will Preston hold aor will a strategic reverse advance be necessary?

Pix to follow.

The game is in the balance. We have one foot in the grave and the other on a banana skin.

 

[col]

The stack retreats! Is this a cunning plan to tempt us out from behind our defenses. Do I see a Wooden horse being wheeled forwards?

Run away. Yankees.

I fart in your general direction.
We have a few small flesh wounds that can be healed in a turn or so.....

 

[Melifluous]

The American forces continue to advance on the Lanky front..

The cunning Lankies are proving difficult to shift. The river between our base camp and their city is certainly not helping matters. The Lanky people have come up with a cunning inovation on our sturdy swordsman...
It would appear to be a swordsman, but when cornered shows a remarkable turn of speed... Perfect for the retreat they know must be coming...

In other news our scientists have come up with many new inovations and we are now working on an improved swordsman to wipe the Lankies from the face of the earth.

The Romans to the east refused to see things our way, so we made peace and will leave them with their city.

To the North the Vikings are annoying us again and will be destroyed as the Arabs were to the south.

The war continues,

Melifluous

 

[col]

Uh Oh - the stack returns after a couple of elastoplast are strategically placed. But our defense is strong. We can hold out for a 0-0 draw here, hope to take the game into extra time and win on penalties.

Our new french striker has proved remarkably versatile. It is truly a golden age of footie in Lancashire.

The slighly deaf Sir Alex is heard order all swordsmen to henceforth eat garlic to iimmediatlely improve their speed.

Melifluous says:

[col]

Celebrations break out in Preston. Their defense holds out and there is still the away leg to come.

The mangy curs turn tail and leaving behind a book giving us details of a strange relgion with many deities.

 

[col]

What was once a proud stack is reduced to two battered spears and a donkey. Will Pompey recover from this set back? They have a massive lead in production capacity and can replace their losses.

Hehe - Walls+river+fortify is a tough nut to crack.

Pompey has learned that the Lankies too have resources and resolve. This battle has been won but there is far to go before the whole world will ackowledge the might of the Lancastrian race.

 

[anarres]

Wow. That was an SoD an no mistake.

So can we see the power graph now peace has been made?

 

[col]

here you are

 

[Melifluous]

I dont have a power graph but I do have this to show...

The turn after peace is decided this is built in Washington

Speaks for itself...

Melifluous

 

[Melifluous]

Oh and in 30BC the following was completed...

The American people have all the grain they can eat and a training camp to keep their weight down in every city now...

We will not become a nation of over weight fast food addicts, like some garlic eating peoples that we could mention.

We notice with regret that whilst we took our part in the ceasefire negotiated with the Lanky people, they have found it neccessary to brutally exterminate the poor Spanish people as they attempted to cobble together a few rude shelters to house their battered and broken people.

We, however, are holding true to our word of not attacking the Vikings and merely protect our Northern front against the relentless Vikings who still refuse to listen to what we have to offer.

We merely ask that in return for us not grinding their people into dust, that they allow us the use of one of their cities to use as a marine research site.

Poor lonely Vikings, scratching a meagre existence from the tundra in the north have spat in our face and almost killed the lone horsed scout we sent to offer them this gracious proposal.

Our scout has learned and came back a charismatic and captivating person and did much to stifffen the resolve of the people of Philidelphia.

Our people itch for this period of peace to end so that we teach these Vikings a lesson they cannot forget.

More Golden Wonders than a crisp factory. All those shields.

Tragically while our forces went for a well earned vacation on the Costa del Sol, the Spanish threw themselves under the hooves of our horses. We told them that our troops were just visiting but they would not listen as we entered their capital, and left the game.

We shall endeavour to preserve other civilisations for their unique contribution to global culture - and their future vote.
