bye the way, good luck getting a mac team together for the SGOTM. Should be a very interesting game. Geezers will be going for the earliest loss date.

Yeah - I don't really think we'll last very long. I'm hoping to do a couple test runs, but so much will be dependent on who the close(st) neighbors are

The English would also like to officially announce the opening of Broadway
All foreign dignitaries are invited to our grand opening musical…. “Springtime for Hitler” ?!?
Who's in charge of this thing?!?

Give my regards to Broadway (although Sweeney Todd at the West End seems more appropriate for the Empire)

Sweeny Todd?
Anybody want a meat pie? They're delicious!

not WAR.1808 to Peter
1808 started, and it looks like WWI came a little early in this game
The peace loving Greeks vow to defend other peace-loving people wherever they may be - and we will commit horrible atrocities and war crimes against any aggressor nation
We have elite forces highly trained in the sciences of persuasion. These units have spent their entire lives training for such missions, and they're anxious to impress their commanders and get sweet medals to show their families.
Sometimes holding the reins of power in Greece feels like you're trying to hold back a Minotaur

The English Empire agrees with the Chinese that this game could use a little more spice
For that reason – and also due to a long list of grievances - including minor quibbles such as a lack of willingness to trade, to more important human-rights issues (such as closing borders to deny missionary access to spread the light of Taoism to the desperate Canuk citizenry crying out for enlightenment), to really egregious issues like having a richer and more productive empire than me…
I, General_W, Second Emperor of the British Empire, do hereby order forth my soldiers to defend freedom and justice!
We have heard the call of the oppressed citizens of Canuickistan – and we will liberate them – so help us Tao.

Oh, right. The Chinese people had, um, grievances... Our precious sea lanes were violated. This is of course ignoring the fact that we haven't any sea trade, or any seaports for that matter, and that there really isn't a point to sea routes in a pangaea map, but still... our non-existent trade ships were imaginarily violated so wrongly, and Erik must pay!
Our first thrust was somewhat completely annihilated, but that won't stop us from further assaults, preferably with slightly more success. We did have one tank survive, so yes, onward China!

That's not a very good sign! Didn't one of your ancients write The Art of War?

Well, apparently the previous guy had him executed before he could write it.
We have some people looking into it right now. I'll let you know what the subcommittee on Sun Tzu affairs has to say when they finish their report.

So much war! So many orphans! Greek hospices will be sending red cross parties to both sides of the front posthaste.
...What??
You mean I have to research Medicine first?

I've got the save, but didn't have time to play this morning - sorry everyone, but it'll probably be really late tonight before I can play.
I did take a peek at the situation though... and Yipes!
Very nice counter-attack Erik! Much more brutal than I expected.

@Erik... there ought to be a law against having that many machine guns!
