New Scenario requires playtesting . . .

Oops sorry tracid, the order at the start of the thread was wrong.
 
The Invasion Has Begun

Denmark liberated
Cobenhagen was the first German controlled city to succumb to the French juggernaught. The city defences fell quite easilly when French battleships started to bombard the city. When French Colonial Troops entered the city, German reisters took the hills around Denmark. The newly formed "cleaning squad" is expected to take care of this problem soon.

Amsterdam besieged
The Dutch capitol city of Amsterdam was besieged with both a massive French Army and French battleships to control the port. The city is expected to fall within a month.

The War With Russia
The first meeting with Fances new enemy Russia, was in the Baltic sea. A Russian Iron Clad was sunk after the French High Command authorized the sinking of every Russian ship wich acted hostile.

In the Mediterranean theatre a badly injured Russian battleship was sunk outside Candia. This battleship was sunk because it was either expected to attack our ally, the Americans, or to get to the nearest city an prepare for new actions.

News From France
New Field Artillery divisions is formed constantly and has replaced several obsolete cannons wich have been disbanded.
 
'the 20th'

....which was two days ago ;)
 
Look at what we are fighting against. The German army is an unruly mob . This picture can finally prove that Prussian soldiers are not compassionate and noble warrior, but a vulgar brute .

German counterattack near Amsterdam destroys 4 units. Pillaging of Norway is underway. German cities are busy selling improvements, and german infantry is still being mobilized to defen cities, mainly Trieste.
 
Sorry guys, uploading the save-file failed at the library (where I am typing this) :(

I guess it will not be befrore monday that I can come back and retry...

Have a nice weekend !!!
 
Militairy:

Retaliatory strikes against Russian units have sunk the Russian Warship near Bermuda and a Steamer in the Baltic. The port of Candia has been garrisonned again. The US Navy is sailing towards the Russian positions worldwide.
In Germany, US troops have taken the Wurzenpass and now control the roads through the Alps, leaving Trieste isolated from the rest of the Empire. Artillery bombardments have wiped out a complete German division, while US troops have dug in to defend the artillery positions.
Neutral cannons beseiging Panama have been thrown back. The now experienced forces in Panama will destroy all future threats to the Panama Canal Zone.


Economic

For as long the cable-connection between the US and the outside world is severed, France will have to keep control of Makassar. The US has asked France to start the build up of the ruined city.
The US-economy had to switch to full war-production now that Russia has declared War on the US. Massive rushbuilding of Units and Training Facilities has been ordered. Congress has aproved to the use of all Trade- and Tax-revenues to fund the build-up of the US Armed Forces.
Merchants reached the ports of Marseille and Tokyo, adding further cash to the war-effort.


Scientific

Catastrophe on testing Farm!
While testing the newly invented 'Fertilizers' at the Research Farm in Pennsylvania, a catastrophic explosion destroyed the warehouse in which the chemicals were stored. Fortunately no loss of life was reported, but the farm itself was completely ruined. The US Government immediately ordered all scientific efforts to be directed to determine the cause of this disaster. Prelimanary findings seem to indicate that the newly developed fertilizers are an instable chemical mixture and are very sensitive to temperature, and extremely easily set on fire. Militairy scientist are aiding their civilian collegues due to the destructive nature of the event.
 
Sorry about the delay guys - I'm waiting on a couple of PMs before I finish off [press cntrl+N] and post my turn. Hopefully I'll be able to do so within 24 hours.
 
yeah.
 
Sorry everyone, but I have to pass on some bad news.

Eivind IV appears to have been cheating as the Allies in the 'cheat-free' ZWK game. He extended the movement of his Captial Ships, revealed the map, and created 'free' units. He has admitted to this by PM.

Although he said he was not 'knowingly' cheating in any of his other games, I checked this game and there are many of the same cheats going on in here for the French player.
 
Well, I guess the only option is to restart. :( I'll put up a thread for a new French player.
 
Is the problem really so bad that we have to restart? Personally, I'd prefer to find a replacement & play on...
 
Well yes that was a bit presumptuous of me, but I thought you all would want to restart since France has taken numerous cities (possibly all of the 9 he conquered in eight turns) that it never could have taken without cheating.

He has admitted to cheating in the ZWK game, but has said he wasn't knowingly cheating in any of his other games. The cheats in the Imperialism game were on a much larger scale than the ZWK cheats.

If everyone really wants to continue with that massive an effect on the game I suppose I can deal with it.
 
Seeing as they were all AI cities, I don't think that it's too bad. However, based on DoM's post we'd probably need to trim the French military a bit.
 
But let's take another thing into account: while he only captured AI cities (except for Copenhagen of course, which was important ;)), his cheating may have been a major cause of his strange expectation to literally conquer much if not all of Germany. IMO had he not been a cheater, this war would not be going on as we know it. While he has only taken one human city, confidence on his part due to cheating may have had a major effect on human events. I'm very tired right know but I think I'm getting my point across.
