Sent to Saber after we played Turn 280 but before we sent the game to Babe.

Dear Friends in Orange,

This was another rushed turn as events outside of the game entrude more and more. It is just now that I see that I forget to try to plant a spy this turn.

The idea of nuclear warfare is not as popular as it once was. That issue has become very sticky to body of FREE, but the debate continues on.

Sincerely yours,

Art Parry

[CommandoBob]

Recieved from Saber after their Turn 282, but not sent with the save, and opened before we played Turn 282.

Dear Team FREE:

We are confused by the apparent lack of damage we have seen done by you to Council lately. However, no doubt you are still aware that if any Council city reaches 640 shields, then it is Game Over, and FREE and Saber lose. Perhaps you are not aware that as of Council's next turn, they will have at least 3 cities with over 400 shields accumulated and at least 2 others not far behind. Council has taken to putting mobile SAMs in their cities and unit stacks on all their important tiles drastically limiting the damage our planes can do.

We hope that you will continue to support our intelligence network financially, since there will be many necessary sabotage efforts coming up quickly, and we can't afford them by ourselves. There would be fewer sabotage attempts necessary if you assisted in destroying tiles, but if you insist on putting the game in the hands of the fickle RNG , then we are prepared to continue to monitor and sabotage while we look for a weakness.

Your friends,

Team Saber

Sent to Saber after we played Turn 282 but before it was sent on to Babe.

Dear Friends in Orange,

We have failed consistently to replant a spy in The Council, so we cannot help directly in any sabotage attempts. We can only send cash and this turn we send 3000 gold.

Our military action has been lax, we admit. We are seeking to redress that internally.

Sincerely yours,

Art Parry

[CommandoBob]

Recieved from Saber while we held Turn 283, but before we played our turn.

Dear FREE,

Thanks again to your help, The Silo has gone from over 400 shields accumulated to 200-something shields accumulated:



The cost was 8086 gold. By our count, Saber now owes FREE 997 gold to be repaid after the war. Hopefully, you will be able to keep the gold coming so we can make the best use of our veteran spy and continue to prevent Council from reaching that final spaceship part.

Dear Friends in Orange,

This was another hastily played turn with very little accomplished by us. Cash is tight, so we did not try to plant a spy in The Council. Well that fact and three straight failures made us a bit gun shy this turn. Plus, you have the spy in place already and we do not.

We are sending 1000 gold to help with the next sabotage attempt. We hope it is not needed this next turn (284) because it may not be enough. We will send more on our Turn 284.

Sincerely yours,

Art Parry

[CommandoBob]

Sent to Saber after we played Turn 284 but before we sent the game to Babe.

Dear Friends in Orange,

We are sending another 1000 gold to help with the your next sabotage attempt. We did not risk trying to plant another spy this turn but we probably will next turn (285).

Art Parry

Dear Friends in Orange,

We did plant a spy but only have 500 gold to send you this turn.

[CommandoBob]

Received from Saber while we held Turn 286 but before we played it (saw the message when I was downloading the save!).

Dear Team FREE:

Thank you for the ongoing contributions to the "Keep Council Uncelestial Fund". Our alliance has just passed 6000 gold accumulated. The relevant Council cities now cost nearly 10000 gold to sabotage safely, so we very much appreciate your continuing to send us whatever you can afford.

Team Saber

 

[CommandoBob]

Sent to Saber after we played Turn 288 but before we sent the game to Babe.

Dear Friends in Orange,

Just a quick note to inform you of another 500 gold deposit into the "Keep Council Uncelestial Fund".

Dear Friends in Orange,

Merely a note to tell you that 500 more gold is in transit, earmarked for the task of keeping The Council down to earth.

Dear Mighty People of the Omnipotent Orange,

We notice many of your powerful seagoing vessels appear to be heading for our coasts for the first time in a very long time. While the merchants in our coastal cities are very accommodating towards men and women in uniform, our fishing fleets and the much more vocal Greenies are concerned about the impact of your massive fleets upon the local ecology, although for very different reasons.

Do the Orange Admirals plan for a long visit or a short one?

Sincerely yours,

Art Parry
aka CommandoBob

Let FREEdom ring,

If we get an answer to this missive, I expect it to contain a casualty list.

Dear Worthy Adversaries in Orange,

We we did appreciate the honor you gave us by editing the battle log to show our respective colors, but it wasn't well received by the FREE. The thought was nice by the color Cyan was just too hard to read on a screen. It is good for highlights and emphasis, but as the main body of text....

We changed the Cyan to just Blue, and that is what we have used here.
