New Colonies III (v3.2) PBEM

[Patient English]

It is the French to move.....

(I move after them for Steve, yes?)

Sorry about the alliance info being spread around, Steve. Wasn't thinking. Still, it is not AIMED at anyone, not even the Iroquois really, as Holland has now almost disengaged from North America...

 

[Aravorn]

John

No worries. Its only a game. I will probably move once more and then its up to you. I need to clean up my lack of CTRL-N mess. After the move Ill send an email. Gotta run!

 

[Yop73]

French turn.

 

[Patient English]

OK, Steve to move for Holland this one last time, then....

 

[academia]

* Peace signed with the Iroquois Nation

 

[Patient English]

Academia, something weird here. The French attacked the Spanish before my turn started, as soon as I loaded the game.....

BTW, I am on a residential training course until Friday night now, and therefore will not be able to play my turns until then....

Sorry I forgot to tell you all earlier.

John

 

[Darius]

So what's going in here? Was the file screwed up?

 

[academia]

Mmm... "french troops attacked spain"???
Well, i assume that Yop forgot to press ctrl+n, so some of his troops were moved by the AI and attacked me.

 

[Darius]

It's not possible for the AI to take over French units after the Spanish turn; only after the French turn.

 

[Patient English]

I know, that was what was weird. I'll try again if you like, but I'm sure Spain and France don't want to be at war.

 

[Patient English]

Sorry about this. I must have loaded a French save by mistake.

Totally my fault.

 

[Aravorn]

With as Bloody slow as this one has been going I may be able to play it. John if I run into a problem Ill let you know. Turn up later today.

 

[Aravorn]

consolidation and reorganization

Spain check your techs there are gifts

Dont worry about the Arquibister outside of the Belgian cities, it is a lack of control n problem last turn. It wil be corrected next turn.

 

[Aravorn]

Darius?

 

[Darius]

Sorry...

English Colonists wiped out northeast of Boston.

 

[Yop73]

*Nothing special happened except for some trade with the English in America.

 

[academia]

* Trade with England

 

[Patient English]

English Privateers, sallying from various ports on the English Channel coast, have boarded and taken the Spanish Treasure Galleons San Christobal and Santa Maria.

It is rumoured that units of the English Fleet joined in the attack - totally against orders - and dispersed the escorting Spanish warships. Certainly the Naseby and the Royal Sovereign are no longer at their moorings, and no one knows if, or when, they might return....

Reports are coming in all the time of hundreds of gold ingots being landed all along the coast.

The English Government totally repudiates the actions of these renegade Englishmen, and has dispatched its agents to retrieve the Spanish bullion. Much has already been secured, and will be handed over to the Spanish Ambassador as soon as possible. The English Ambassador in Madrid has been instructed to re-establish good relations immediately. Courts Martial have been convened to investigate the role of the Royal Navy in this unfortunate incident.

In a totally unrelated matter , the large Dutch war loan was repaid this month....Only the interest on this loan is outstanding, and can be repaid at Dutch convenience.

Are Holland and France at war? They seem to be!

The savages who attacked our colonists have been ridden down by the Mounted Militia of Boston, who are fast becoming a formidable unit.

I hope you are kidding, the Spanish ARE NOT going to be happy about this and that is going to put me in a very awkward position.


[/QUOTE]Are Holland and France at war? They seem to be!/QUOTE]

Absoulutely not, At least as far as Im concerned.

 

[Patient English]

I'm not kidding....Spain and I have an understanding and Holland will not be involved in any war not of her choosing.

Spain was kinda expecting this.... PM me about it if you want to know more.

Holland and France at at war in-game, and when I contacted the Dutch to pay back my loan, they wanted me to go to war too. However, they settled for the money!
