The CDG1

Ooh, nice opening to the Great War. Is this the point where I gift my surviving cities?

Do as you please, but sarcasm is not asked for. If this were delared a space race, you should have told me.

EDITH: I hope you did not expect everybody to sit and wait till you, or sumeria complete their Space Ship?
 
EDITH: I hope you did not expect everybody to sit and wait till you, or sumeria complete their Space Ship?

Of course not. The question was rhetorical. And there was no sarcasm. I fully expected your attack and am pleased the game has livened up again.
 
Who's Edith?

I know: "No, je ne regrette rien..."

But I know someone who will regret what he did... A violent act of aggression like this can not be tolerated by the Ottoman people. A quickly assembled conference of delegates from Sumeria, China and Osmania discussed how to react to this barbaric act. China pledges not to be left alone in this desperate hour, and in the end the Ottoman Armed Forces get the mandate of the leaders of the united nations to open fire immediately and not let the Persian Army recuperate from the losses that the bravely fighting Chinese defenders had inflicted on her. The fallen Chinese soldiers shall not have given their lives in vane!

So today, in the early morning hours, the Ottoman heavy artillery opened fire on Persian positions in occupied China. Even if the enemy looks frightening and apparently overwhelming, the Ottoman people is never afraid of fighting for a just cause when duty calls. Better die fighting for freedom than live in slavery! :salute:

Upon receiving news of this act, the Mayan government declared war on Osmania and stopped delivering their shipments of incense! :eek: We hope that this will turn out to be a regrettable misunderstanding, and peace can be restored soon. After all, we heard that the wise Mayan people have signed a protection pact with the Persian people, not an aggression pact, right?

After breaking the resistance of the first Persian line of defense, the Ottoman Army finds with astonishment, that apparently the Persian Army was not so well prepared for war as it first appeared. In order to utilize the achieved breakthrough as good as possible, the first phase of the Ottoman campaign concentrated on advancing into the Persian heartland as fast and as far as possible, concentrating on important aluminium, incense, dyes and spice resources. In the second phase of the campaign emphasis was layed upon eliminating those dangerous Persian Modern Armors so as to take the punch out of a possible Persian counterstrike.
Here are the details of the battle of Persia:

The Persian governent has escaped to Augustodurum, an old Celtic city. (If that doesn't show their origin...!) The world map has changed quite a bit in the first two weeks of war:


Ottoman forces now dig in and wait for whatever storm may be blowing towards them.
 
Excellent post, Lanzelot. You too, Calis. I find myself caught in a World War. I will have to take a good look at the save....

Ditto.

The Chinese cannot thank our allies enough for the (hopefully!) decisive counter attack.

A failed battleship bombard of Narso has now brought the Mayans into conflict with the Chinese. :( Can't we just live in harmony?

Cruise missile fired to Herat. No idea what damage (if any) was done. We hope this will be our last play in this conflict; the Chinese have offered peace to both the Mayans and Persians.

All Chinese military units are at home.

So, in exchange for peace our aggressors want us to teach them how to make intercontinental nuclear missles? Let us mull on that for a while..... :rolleyes::nono::shake:
