Ok I just talked to EQ on AIM and he is apparently having trouble logging in to his account for the site and that his password isn't working. He says that he will do the update as soon as he gets a new password from the CFC people, which will hopefully be soon.
With the work and effort myself and others have put into my upcoming NES, I have gained extensive interest in the new one. This has made me realize that an angry mob of villagers will storm my room and slay me, hanging my severed body parts in the many towns and cities across my regime. These noble folk have put more effort into the new NES than they did in over three years of schooling.
The failure to complete this NES is due to several flaws within its format. Though it did include some features of which I am quite proud, I have yet to figure out a style which will allow realistic movement of events and an effective reflection of modern society. The new NES, which has not yet been named, has taken quite a few ideas into effect to allow the building of modern civilization through economic, and not solely military means. In the new NES it will be possible to build a superpower without having to wage war on the world.
However, to you loyal readers of this NES, I will offer several awards to those who have participated in the ongoing story. Furthermore I will provide a description of the conclusion of the wars which are continuing, and the events which would follow, shaping the world. The awards are those provided below, and the story of events will follow tomorrow.

Best Economic Orders...I'll take that...
Twas a good NEs. I liked how fast and simple it was. Was a nice change from having to plan everything out a week ahead. Plus I didnt need to set aside an hour to do my orders. My only regret being I never got to use my sweet airforce.

This was a great NES, and one where I enjoyed every turn.
A bit about my plans:
I'd been preparing for the invasion of Baja California for two turns, with 30,000 Infantry and all my light tanks drilling for amphibious assaults. Admiral Nimitz had been sailing the Texican fleet around Cape Horn, to bring it up the west coast to support the landing and engage the Californians after linking up with the pair of Aircraft Carriers that would be waiting, I assume he was successful in this.
@ Insane Panda: Hopefully you would've been forced to spread your forces thin, as even with Mormons filling in your line I outnumbered you 2-1 or 3-2 for infantry. If you diverted troops to try and stop my army advancing up the Baja, Eisenhower was to go on the offensive, to tie up more troops, which it seems he did. In armor, I like to think we were more or less equal, as I could've begun to pump out Houston IIs quickly now that I finished Mass Production. You'd always outnumber be in air power, so I hoped to strike at your airbases in night raids and keep it occupied using the MB.52s that I was buying from France and partisan intelligence from behind the lines.
If the war had gone on longer, I had hoped to launch an armored assault across the Colorado River and into Deseret, trying to spread your lines thinner and thinner. I was hoping to get the RMU to join the war, by promising them Deseret, but was skeptical after all the losses Farow took in the Urban fighting over whether he consider himself capable of fighting another war so soon, even if the Socialist War ended before we finished our discussion in Arizona.
If Nimitz beat your fleet, I'd try to blockade your coast and maybe launch a propaganda raid on Los Angeles harbor, to hope to raise dissent and bring more pressure to make peace.
If I was completely wrong and California won, then I would've stockpiled rifles, mortars, and anti-tank mines about Arizona and ensured that local resistance fighters knew where they were. Then I try and make it the bloodiest occupation ever, even if it meant I had to export Communists into Arizona.
Worst Peace: California gets Arizona, and I encourage resistance.
Likely Peace: Prewar Borders (Possibly the bit north of the Colorado that you gained after the first peace, too)
Best Peace: Baja California (Republic of Califas, now)
Note: The United Republics had 8 republics in them at the end of the game (Sequoyah, Corpus Christi, Austin, Dallas, Rio Grande, Veracruz, Tarasco, and Arizona) with the Republics of Yucatan and Houston being approved, but then lost in the peace with France.
