OK, Chris.
As I am playing the French, I have moved first. This means that the AI has played the first British move. That is not too bad, because v few pieces are movable the first turn (only the ships already at sea, basically).
I have not wanted to take advantage of this, and so I have not attacked any of your units this turn.
Nevertheless, we are in a real shooting war! I have until Dec 1805 to take and hold three English, Scottish, Welsh or Irish cities. Portuguese, Hanoverian and Maltese cities do not count for this (although I may still attack them for the sheer hell of it)!
You just need to stop me.
En avant, mes enfants!
First move report:
The British frigate in the channel opens hostilities by taking out the French merchantman - as it was supposed to.
The Austrians sneak-attacked, as they always do. (Must fix that if I can - probably move the French border troops away from the Fortess of Mantua.) I will knock them back, but I must save my main effort for the "Enterprise of England". The Spanish have loyally stood by their allies and declared war on Austria.
Nevertheless, three regiments of infantry were routed and 18 guns (1 company) lost, although they took a regiment of Grenadiers and one of Musketeers with them. Even the Independents in Ravenna took a hand and destroyed another infantry regiment of the line. Bastards!
French casualties so far: 8,000, with many others wounded. 18 guns lost. Austrian losses: 4,000. General Massena is grouping the army of Italy for a counterattack.
Many of the Garde Nationale garrison units have been disbanded and the men called up for active service in the various "Régiments de la Ligne".
Chris, apart from the events changes you know about concerning Partisans, no big modifications. Partisans are 3a,2d, 3h,2f, move 1, with Submarine, Alpine, Pikeman and ignore ZOC flags. All Dragoons (and British Lt. Dragoons) have the "Patrol" flag, which is "Sees Subs". Neither Russians nor Spanish can build Partisans any more.
I have done sea fortresses for 3 squares all around Great Britain and Ireland. Ultimately I will do them all, but this will take a while!
I don't think it matters for PBEM games, but the game directory I have called "Bonaparte II Chris". I have mailed you the new Scenario zip and the save game zip.
