Orders locked.

Looks like I'm going to have to sort out some of the confusion over orders.

Great. Now I get to fight a battle that I thought I would have 15 more ships in. Can you please make them retreat to the Arabian Sea before I lose half my fleet? In fact, I think I originally put a clause in my PM for something like that...

Also, it'd be nice if my troops that can no longer attack due to magic would go with my navy.

1867

In a desperate and insane move, the Yukon government (before relocating to Ontario) ceded Alaska to China to give them a territory to deploy troops into freely. This diplomatic overture, combined with New England's victory in the Caribbean and China's victory off the coast of recently annexed Chile has done little to stop the wave of the Mexican Army from overwhelming territory from the cold Yukon to the sweltering land of Dixie to mountainous Chile.

South America is now all under the control of the Mexican government and the Panama Canal has been built in Central America.

Meanwhile, in the Mediterranean, the Congolese Navy has been defeated once more by the French Navy and sent packing to the Black Sea. France's Israeli flank has collapsed and Iraq and Arabia have fallen to the Congo along with Israeli Turkey.

However, the Congo's disastrous naval battles in the Indian Ocean has resulted in over 95% of the Congolese Navy being destroyed. Only two fleets in the Black Sea remain. Siberian troops landed in Ethiopia and Siamese troops landed in South Africa. With a massive French invasion force in the Mediterranean waters, a massive Siberian Army in Iran and Ethiopia, Siamese ironclads in the Indian Ocean and troops on the ground in South Africa, the Congo faces a dreadful war on all fronts.

Mexico's territorial gains have caused a shadow over the rest of North America. Mexico stares Alaska, Ontario, and New England over open sights.

South America has been brought under a single flag. After several years, the Brazilian guerrillas in Chile could not hold out against the tide any longer.

Europe is divided. France, the long dominant power in Europe has seen its Israeli flank collapsed. However, France is by no means defeated and with the recent victory in the Mediterranean, France stands posed to conquer North Africa, territory held for years by the Congo.

Africa's days of peace are over. For the first time, those in the heartland of the Congo have been invaded. Armies stand ready to gobble up the once great empire in the East and in the South.

In Asia, trust reigns supreme which explains the long, undefended borders. Unlike Europe, the Triple Alliance looks solid. Siam, the most powerful and controls territory from the South Pacific Islands to Delhi. Siberia, the second most powerful, rules from the Far Northeast to Persia and recently, Ethiopia. Stagnate China has achieved its first victory in seven years in the Pacific against Mexico.

What does the future hold for the world?

... why don't I have Hawaii? I'm pretty sure I said move 3 divisions to Hawaii, but then I realized that I only had one there. Of course, I figured you realized that, so I didn't feel the need to tell you. After all, the territory is neutral, and the number of troops doesn't impact it in the slightest. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure I didn't tell my troops in the area to retreat, and you haven't said jack about fleets moving into a territory being able to intercept landing parties.

So, yeah, why no Hawaii?

About that, can you attack twice?

Wait, never mind. Just read that PM again.

I really need to work on making my orders decipherable for other people.

I’ve got some serious issues with this update.

Divisions and Fleets in the Arabian Sea moved to the Indian Ocean. ((No shooting at Siamese))

How can his divisions have entered Ethiopia if he ordered them into the Indian Ocean. I know
movement can be secret but conflicting orders? Come on……

Furhtermore I ordered that if he would disembark in Ethiopia my fleets should move to the Arabian Sea. I think he ordered it via PM and I wouldn’t have known about it but again…. Conflicting orders, if the order to move the Siberian divisions to the Indian Ocean wouldn’t have been there I would have given different orders.

First Battle for the Indian Ocean
Congo 19 versus Siberian 7
Congolese Victory!
-Siberian Fleet destroyed!
-1 Congolese fleet destroyed

I placed 22 fleets in the Indian Ocean

Second Battle for the Indian Ocean
Congo 18 versus Siam 24
Siamese Victory!
-Congolese Fleet destroyed!
-7 Siamese Fleets destroyed

Same thing… lost 1 ship to Siberia but in that case I should have 21 fleets

Battle for South Africa
Siam conquers South Africa unopposed!

How the hell is this even possible? I played a Diplomat card on him… he wasn’t supposed to be able to attack me…

Congo has two VCs.

Shouldn’t this be three since I conquered three provinces: Arabia, Iraq and Turkey.

Battle for Ethiopia
Congo 1 versus Siberian 18
Siberian Victory!
-Congolese forces destroyed!
-No Siberian losses

I shouldn’t even had a divisions here…. I moved this to East Africa together with the divisions in Congo and the Sudan.
On the movement issue… I moved my divisions from Maghreb to Sahel…..

Where did you get FIVE VCs? You only have two since the only two territories you've taken from another player this entire game was Indonesia and Madras.

Also, reinforcements can only be used for divisions. Forgot to update OP about that but it was in the other update.

Edit: After reading a bit into the orders, it looks like some people thought VCs=what you won.

No, it means how many you have ALL TOGETHER.

So to sum it up. I got screwed because Siam played more cards then he actually had….. So my earlier assumption were actually correct and the plans I had made based on those assumptions would probably have worked….
And the 1 I didn’t have but used didn’t be PLAYED!!!! (the dilplomatcard)


I’m seriously contemplating a ragequite at this point since I just got so royally screwed…

 

[Double A]

If you're gonna recalc the Indian Ocean naval battle, then maybe you should consider letting me and Siberia fighting side by side, considering we're allies and all.

 

[mayor]

I checked that with Sonereal, because my diplocard against you I could first attack Siberia while you couldn't interfere because you couldn't attack me. Afterwards I could attack your fleet and you could defend.

during that event my diplo card was actually used.

It is called secret and misleading orders and you fell for my misleading orders. Just wait. getting the pmed orders

Siberia 17 Points
Use 1 VC on Reinforcements
Deployments:
17 Divisions placed in Iran

Movement:
2 Afghanistan Divisions move to Iran
2 Caucasus Divisions move to Iran
2 Kazakhstan Divisions enter the Caspian Sea.
18 Divisions in the Arabian Sea land in Ethiopia.
7 Fleets in the Arabian Sea moved to the Indian Ocean. ((No shooting at Siamese))

Nations have done this before. I won't do it overkill though.
If my orders don't make sense, I have different orders.

But, I do not know how any of the other things occurred.

 

[mayor]

well...yeah... I figured that much....

It's just something that came on top of all else... and at the moment I just felt really cheated... I'm still a bit annoyed by the conflicting orders thing but it's on the bottom of my grudges cause somewhere deep inside I can justify it (But I still don't think it's right....)

 

[Lighthearter]

I do it all the freaking time. Think of it like "secret orders" - publically, the ships/battalions are assigned to do yadda yadda, and your spies report that. But after they get moving and there's no further chance for the unit to stop and the spies to report, the commander opens the sealed letter he was given, which details the REAL orders.

All my captains carry crates full of the things.

Exactly!
I was feeding his spies false information.

 

[BSmith1068]

I personally think that is a poor tactic. Sure it may work sometimes, but it is not an honorable strategy.
