Gruban: ok lets work this out, me and france are really poor and UK is really rich

TO SAVE THE TROUBLE IT WAS ME I STOLE YOUR CASH, IM A BOARDGAMING TRAITOR MU HA HA

 

[gruban]

RoddyVR: Ouch. 41 hurt. I was planning to win that one.

MattyB2:
Want a break? That's fine, that's exactly my plan! I'll break your arms first. Then your legs. You're 13? You'll never see 14! Just kidding. I'm actually happy you did this, this makes it fun.

Everyone:
All Right! The real war begins!
Naturally Britain is out of AFTA. Also, for obvious reasons, Africa declares war on Britain!
The largest country against the richest country - this should be fun!
France, I hope you're with me.
Germany, we're on the same side.
Everyone else, hang on to your hats, we're in for a bumpy ride!

 

[MattyB2]

ahem, ladi daaa DELETED

 

[MattyB2]

OOC: tossi i need to speak to you on aim, when you gunna be on?

 

[RoddyVR]

so 5 days, and i only have 2 PMs with orders, and even those are from the same nation. lol. so all but one of you needs to send orders.
so send em asap,

 

[MattyB2]

i cant be assed

 

[RoddyVR]

well, maybe you cant be "assed" (not sure what that means, and please dont tell me), but you still have to send orders.

 

[Erik Mesoy]

Bumpy ride indeed. AFTA breaking up. TIme to get some bilateral pacts.

From Norway
To Austria
We wish to secure a free trade agreement.

From Norway
To Britain
Your enemy is Africa, not us. Can we still trade freely?

From Norway
To Rome
Do we have free trade?


assed=bothered.

 

[RoddyVR]

well, thank you Erik. considering the big sign in your sig, i didnt expect orders from you, but got them. pleasant surprise there. now for the rest of you.......

cant be assed.

assed=bothered

which all boils down to matty saing that he "cant be bothered to send ordres" ?????
i'd swear, but the scarry anouncement at the top of the forum is... well..... scary, so instead i'll let you immagine the swearing, and then just say
"what do you mean you cant be assed? send em. you joined the game, you're not busy doing anything else. you're not in the hospital, you're not at a relative's deathbed, you're not even 'away' for crying out loud. send your ordres."

 

[MattyB2]

but but but ITS TO HOT! I SWEAR ITS TO HOT!

 

[RoddyVR]

all the more reason to sit infront of the computer in the airconditioned room. and if you dont have airconditioning, then well, then i feel sorry for you, but you still have to send orders.

though having found out that you're still going to school even though its the middle of july, i'll be a bit more patient.
that's just sick.

so everyone, i guess the update will be thrusday or so. hopefully not to late in the day. get your orders in.

 

[tossi]

orders sent

 

[RoddyVR]

ok, so all i need now is orders from Gladinia.
i hope i get em by end of day today (about 5 hours from now), cause tomorow i'm going off to my sister's for the weekend and want todo update before then.

 

[RoddyVR]

so orders from all but Gladinia. did germany's orders myself, though i must say i wasnt too inspired in doing them.
a few of you definetly either hurried through your orders, or just gave up thinking about it all, cause there are some OBVEOUS mistakes in here.

anyway....

battles
taken without a fight - 34, 58, 57, 59, 62

Naval Battle at Sea E. - Britain 10 vs Norway 8 vs Germany 5
The Germans sink one of each ship from the other fleets.
then the British fleet (with an order of "attack E") attacks the Norwegian ships and sinks em, losing only 2 more of their own.

Territory 27 - Africa 10 vs Austria 16
(Great minds think alike i guess. me and Gruban had the EXACT same thoughts concerning Austria's best move, and Africa's most likely actions towards them. he hoped i would wait a turn. and i hoped he'd let me make more money off him in trade. lol)
dam. complete rout too. Austria does not loose a single army in the battle. (rolls of 195 to 3)

Territory 28 - Rome 4 vs Africa 1
Africa's battles in Italy go from bad to worse. again no losses for their opponents.

Territory 30 - France 25 vs Rome 1 (the city)
As you'd expect. no french casualties.

Territory 32 - France 14 vs Africa 8
The battle for the Roman territory between these allies, proved bloody, but went to the Supperior French numbers.

Territory 33 - France 14 vs Africa 8
Another ally battle over Roman lands. The Africans won the first day by a large margin, but were routed in the even battle on the second day.

Territory 11 - France 9 vs Britain 2
No French Casualties.

Territory 10 - France 9 vs Britain 4
The british kill 3 French armies before being destroyed.

Terriotry 41 - Africa 25 vs Rome 1 (the city)
No African losses.

Territory 40 - France 10 vs Africa 4 vs Rome 25
Rome repels both of the attackers with ease.

Territory 39 - France 24 vs Rome 25
The battle took 3 days, and each day the Roman advantage in numbers got bigger and bigger.

Territory 61 - Norway 10 vs Russia 39
The Norwegians, though heavily outnumbered, held their own, and killed more then they lost. In the end the Russian numbers proved overwhelming though.

Yikes. that's a lot of fighting.
just so you dont gotta count little dots. there are 15 Austrian armies in 27.

econ in a few.

Country	Gold	Size
Britain	 490 	 29 
France	  61 	 35 
Spain	  - 	  - 
Africa	 274 	 73

Russia	 116 	  6 
Norway	 248 	 23

[tossi]

Omg Erik it´s always the same. You have a completly different mind then me.

 

[gruban]

Naval Battle at Sea

Yeah, it's those naval battles on land that I always hate. The ships getting stuck in the mud and everything.

Territory 33 - France 14 vs Africa 8
Another ally battle over Roman lands. The Africans won the first day by a large margin, but were routed in the even battle on the second day.

That should have actually been France 14 vs Africa 8 vs Rome 1 - there was a Roman city there, right?

 

[RoddyVR]

Yeah, it's those naval battles on land that I always hate. The ships getting stuck in the mud and everything.

guess i should have said IN sea E. lol. english isnt.... well, no that was just a mistake. lol.

That should have actually been France 14 vs Africa 8 vs Rome 1 - there was a Roman city there, right?

oh, ye, now that you mention it. wont reroll it though, since its not likely to get rome to keep the territory, and it would not have changed the france vs africa rolls.

 

[tossi]

orders pmed

 

[RoddyVR]

5 days gone by since the update, and i only have two sets of orders.
i know, its a war, and its tough to decide what to do in it. while peacefull expansion was much easier, you DID sign up for this game cause its a WARGAME, not to peacefully coexist with your neighbors. so make that tough decision, and go with it.
send in your orders.
