NES2 V - The Great Game.

[Stormbringer]

I will speculate that the spotlight is on the collapse of Persia

 

[Thlayli]

I admit, the chances that you'll capture Shiraz are roughly 1:2.

It all depends on whether the Strait of Hormuz remains open, really.

 

[ThomAnder]

Why woudln't it be open? you don't have a navy to close it

 

[Stormbringer]

In reality absolutely nothing depends on that strait, at most for the first few weeks of the capaign, after that it becomes irrelevent, and Thy's comments just make me even more confident that the plan was a success

 

[Thlayli]

Why woudln't it be open? you don't have a navy to close it

I'm sure the update will answer that question.

Storm, you can't just pull out of Iraq. It's not going to be that easy. Unless of course you just launched a direct assault on Shiraz, a contingency which has also been planned for.

 

[MjM]

Thly, could you get on MSN?

 

[Thlayli]

Yeah...do your little thing where you open up a conversation, because I can't get it to launch any other way, sorry.

EDIT: Gah! Try again.

 

[erez87]

hmm das your done? cause I see your in the forum.

First lesson of war

Do the unexpected.

 

[ThomAnder]

Second lesson of war

Do the most expected, because they'll think it's so obvious, so you won't do it.

 

[MjM]

Third lesson of war:

DOn't expect help from the French.

 

[ThomAnder]

It's not the French's fault you didn't send orders the turn after FK declared war on you

 

[MjM]

Aye, but it is there fault for promising help and not coming through and causing this entire thing. no grudges kal..

 

[Kal'thzar]

Fourth Lesson of war

Plan Carefully, if you think someone will betray you, prepare for it.

OOC: If you'd told me before your escapade and got me used to it I MAY have helped, as it was i was still finding my feet then, wondering how to combat Storms Funding of the rebel groups

 

[Thlayli]

A small suggestion for the future, das. Do you think that it might be a good idea to give irregular/conscript divisions a training stat, such as with the levy thousands in ITNES? It's a similar concept...

 

[alex994]

China will win, it is inevitable. Even if it takes centuries, China will eventually win. My 10 cents on Wars in Asia.

Hmm, I really hope that das evacuates the Islamic Council and baby Ishmael from Shiraz if it comes under attack...not that it'll fall, with all the fortifications...but I don't want the Shah-in-Waiting to be hurt.

 

[silver 2039]

I want an update. I'm hoping the spotlight is on the collaspe of Poalnd....more likley its on the collspe of muscovy

 

[Disenfrancised]

Hey silver, welcome back - did you manage to get orders in through the ban? (Do Civfanatics bans stop PMs?).

I doubt Muscovy will fall, beaten back maybe, but neither sweden or Poland can afford to overextend with ze HRE clawing at their backs...

You better have left the Tartars alone though
