Funny, none of the screenshots showed up on my iPad, but when I opened the post again on Opera to fix it everything is suddenly fine.

Weird, when I opened my post on the PC it worked just fine, and now that I'm accessing it from the iPad it's once again not showing up. I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow.

Again, when I'm accessing it from the computer all images work just fine. Anyone else having the same problem as Tigranes?

Strange... I can not OPEN the first spoiler... did you remove it?
The 2nd is fine though.

The Europa Armada made an heroic gesture, sacrificing itself in order to protect the citizens (and Army!) of Europe.
No attack was done against the European mainland, but most of the surface European Armada is now converted to permanent submarines (those that can not reach the surface)...
Oddly enough, a wave of admiration for the brave European sailors has emerged amongst the Corporations workers! Several strikes have been felt in the past year all over the US Corporation, with workers complaining about the war against such valliant sailors!
The ridiculous Paratrooper Brigade that was bold enough to land in England is now bold enough to land in hell...

Yes of course I read it. Did you read mine? The Lady you took prisoner is the original Lady's grand-daughter. ("The New Lady") The original Lady never left Africa since she was on her deathbed. When she died, the scientist stole her DNA and snuck away to a secret location and cloned her. Hence "The New Old Lady" - she is the clone of the original lady, you have her granddaughter captive... along with Jesus II I think, although he has long since been written off by the Southern Empire as a casualty of war, whether he is alive or not.
Anyway, the South continues to rebuild its infrastructure and settle back into its rightfully owned cities. Not much else to report this turn.

Wait, didn't Jesus II once escape? Bah, this is getting too confusing, so let's just say we both return each other's prisoners as a gesture of goodwill or something.

Somehow the Asians have still not captured a single Europan city, but they managed to launch yet another nuke that did not only get through my stupid not working at all SDI, but also without destroying the world, what gives? 
Urgh, it seems I have to concede that Luthor is better than me at naval warfare. Alright, what do you want for a temporary cease fire?
I'm not in the mood to make screenshots, besides all the footage of Asian Mechas blowing up is getting boring by now, they lost two just this turn, along with their entire army north of Krasnoyarsk. All of the units involved in this epic fight where in Novosibirsk when the barbarians unleashed their latest nuclear holocaust on the city, and I am glad they could enact their revenge so swiftly.
In an ironic twist I received a Great General with a Chinese name.
Two wings of Gunships took out a lightly escorted Asian Artillery convoy in Southern territory during a daring raid.
What the? Why do I have a Jet Fighter in Nanjing? I can't remember moving it there as that would obviously be suicide. Not even one as incompetent as The Inglorious Leader could leave that city in my hands for much longer.

Not anymore! 
Sorry for the loooong delay, guys! My life is slowly going back to normal now so next turns should be quicker! Until next summer, that is!
I wonder what they feed their pilots in Europe!!! They must be sleeping in their cockpit while flying... so they fall like flies!
There were no major naval battles this turn, just a few air dogfights, with Europa having it's fighters reduced to a more reasonable number.

Attention
If Luther has finished his turn we must pause here and look at the scores.
On my last turn I fired another ICBM which too exploded, On this second ICBM the World cracked! A new screen opened and told me I should have listened to my advisors "Game Over"
It did not offer any additional turns. What were the scores at the end of my turn or better at the beginning of His Excellency's turn? The leading scorer should be granted the win.
And yes your SDI did not work, I believe it shot down only one Asian Nuke if I remember correctly

Wait what? If this happened last turn, how could you send on your turn to me?
If this is true this is very very bad. While it is good that you lost, I'm afraid the other dirty traitor now gets a victory by default.
All my schemes to enact revenge, useless now!

It feels strange to win like that... there were some discussions about going on with the game or not.
We all kind of feel that you would be the probable winner of the military war, even if fighting us 3!
So, what are your thoughts regarding the military campaign? And continuing playing or not?

If I was fighting only one of you at a time I would steamroll you, when I'm fighting two I'm making slow progress on one front while holding the other, but if I were fighting all of you I'd slowly but surely lose all my territory. Ideally I wanted to make peace with America and the Lady ASAP so I can crush Asia with all the might of the Europan military machine, then rebuild my navy and punish you for your treason as well. I assume that while my army is busy in North America Nighthawk would attack me, beginning a final confrontation which would end in a Domination victory for him or me, depending on how good he built up his infrastructure while I was marching across Asia.
As I see it there's three options:
1.: Continue as if nothing happened.
2.: Start the scenario anew, but with switched roles, e.g. me as America, Eclipse as the Lady, Luthor as Europa and Nighthawk as Asia. Rinse and repeat until everyone of us has played every civ at least once.
3.: Declare this game dead.

Knoedel... and your opinion is? I guess that was missing in your post! 
I would propose:
4. Stop just for a minute to congratulate the technical winner {} and then continue the game until we find a real winner.
However, going on with the game will only work if Eclipse and Nighthawk think we 3 have a chance against you. I do think that there is a (small) chance against you if we 3 unite. Otherwise, if one of them is not in this mood, I would just throw the towel and say "well done, Knoedel".

I make game per game committments. Even though I would find interesting to start the same game with the same players and a different nation, I do not like to committ for future games.
