The Pangean Wars

Chapter 47, The Article

On August 2, 1752, a wire came through that shocked and horrified people from all ranks and roles. The United French Press Association (UFPA) leaked a story that follows here:

Paris Post-Times
August 2, 1752

Attrocities Revealed
By.: Francis de Ponte, UFPA


Shock and awe is the feeling in most French communities today, after you read this article. The UFPA has learned that over 15,000,000 people have been murdered by American tyrant, Franklin Roosevelt. Unless you've been living under a rock for the past months, France is fighting in a war, THE war, against America. Perhaps if our French army and navy can take cities faster, there will be a decrease in these atrocities. Then again, all these people have been exterminated for a reason. Most of them are disabled, crippled, sickly, and old. It seems as if Roosevelt is streamlining his population to make for a more efficent national war machine. HE has also killed many Jews, simply because they follow the faith of France. All of his cities are churning out troops like mad, and it shouldn't be long until he will have achieved a "stack 'o doom." All we can do is wait, pray, and give support to our brave commander, Napoleon, in the field.


When Napoleon had finished reading this article, he ordered that his intellegence sources collect data on these atrocities so that they can be levyed against FDR at a later date. Napoleon had no plans of killing him anymore, he had abandoned the assassin idea already. He wanted to drag out his death for months of trials to come.

Napoleon sent out a desperate radio plea to FDR to lay down arms, while there was still time. All that greeted him was radio silence.

Chapter 48, The Ascotia Pass

The campaign carried on as usual, with the slow progression of French troops across the land. By August 10, they were at the foot of the very tall Scott mountains leading into inner America. There was only pass that allowed access into the interior from the south, and it was the Ascotia Pass which ran through the skinniest portion of the mountains.

Napoleon knew he had a decision to make. It was early August, but snow was starting again to build on the capps of the hghest Scotts. More snow would be coming soon. In conditions like these, there was no chance of 170,000 French troops making it through there in time. But, a small river, the Erstom River, ran through the valley. This could provide desparately needed resources for the hungry army.

Napoleon decided that he would leave 150,000 troops at the end of the pass, still on the planes, while he and 20,000 marched to view any resources that might be open to take. On August 19, Napoleon left Gen. Carmonchaeux behind and marched off into the pass. At first, he found small herdsd of animals, but by the 31, he had hit upon major farms, ample to steal and plunder from. He sent word that the army was to camp here for the winter.

On September 24, the last solider left the great planes. It was excellent timing too, for the pass closed on the 28th. Once the coulmns were reunited, they proceeded to pick clean the small and large farms. The sight of over 150,000 tents and over 100,000 pieces of equipment would breathe awe into any passer by. Though it would really take a few hours for the passer by to fully pass by all the people and items and machines.

Winter truly let itself upon the troops with an Early October blizzard. The rest of October, November, and December went with little strife and without sickness or disease. New Years Day 1753 was celebrated with great joy throughout the camp. A beautifal wooden synagouge was erected in the center of campp for the daily worship that would be the only thing to keep them occupied over the next months. Nearby, a smaller temple was built for the fewer muslims in the troop, mostly New Yorkers.

The morning of February 17 began like any other. Except one thing, 195,000 American troops were advancing unbeknownst to the French down the valley. At 7pm, they reached the first watch tower, who sent a warning/distress signal back to the other towers and the base. Instant chaos in the camps erupted with the warning siren going off. The defensive stance was employed and the French were ready to fight. They slept with one eye open that night. At 6:48 AM, exactly at sunrise, the Americans stood only 1000yds from the French readying themselves for yet another big battle.

Wow. Awesome.

 

[demokratickid]

I know! Next update ridiculously soon. Plz Post!

 

[Izipo]

A screenshot would really be appreciated, you know...

 

[demokratickid]

You know, Izipio, I hadn't thought about it in awhile, but I might be able to transfer files from my old to new computer, hope for the best, open world builder, and do as best a job as I can rebuilding that world. I finished playing the game a few months ago, but maybe the files' still there. I'll check soon, and let you know if it works. What I need from you, is: How do I take a screent shot, EXACTLY HOW WITH SIMPLE, EASY TO READ INSTRUCTIONS WITH NO WORDS COINTAINING MORE THAN THREE SYLLABELS!!! But thanks!

 

[e350tb]

Go to Imageshack and upload the said screenshot. Make sure it is a PNG or JPEG.

Tut, tut... That is the wrong answer...

- When you're in the game, make it so that you have a good view of the map. No need to worldbuild anything (unless you don't have the saves anymore). A globe view is always nice, and then a closer one so that we can also see score, dates and stuff (and the minimap).
- When you're set, press 'PrtSc'. You'll find that key above the arrows, next to 'scroll lock' and 'pause break'.
Good, you've successfully saved a screenshot.
- Exit the game.
- Make sure you know where your screenshot is (usually it's in : my documents/my games/warlords (or civIV or BtS)/screenshots.
- You see it ? Good.
- Go to CFC and make a post. Now, in the additional options menu (below 'Submit reply') you'll find a 'Manage Attachments' button.
- Press it.
- Find your file, upload it and... Voilà.

That will be good enough for now, we'll go into imageshack and stuff later

Oh and btw, IF you don't have a savegame, don't bother. It's not needed that bad anyway.

Anyway, hope it helps.

 

[demokratickid]

Thanks a ton, guys! I will hop on that immediatly! My new computer is running its internet a bit sluggish, but I'll get there!

 

[Snaaty]

[demokratickid]

Well! good to see you're still reading along Snaaty! Unfortunately, my new computer had a virus on it, and is being cleared up now, so no pictures yet! But, with this, I will finally give an update...


Chapter 49, Battle of Ascotia

Napoleon surveyed his potition on the field. It wasn't totally bleak, but it had its dangerous elements in fully display. Off hand, the Americans had the higher ground and more troops. Napoleon's single advantage was in the fact that the Americans had a lake to their back.

Sensing this disadvantage, the Americans made the first move by detaching their left flank and marching it into Napoleon's. This move was countered easily enough, but at decent cost. The howitzers had been trading shots every now and again, but not until an hour into the fight did they pick up steam.

After growing tried of defeating American attacks, Napoleon mounted one of his own. Both his flanks were to detach and attack from their respecive sides, while the middle was to smash into the main column. Napoleon stayed in his armor, and when he got within firing range, attempted to blow a hole in the line with the powerful French super-tank.

The Americans werwe prepaired for this, however, and feigned retreat. Napoleon, incorrectly assuming retreat, pushed on the attack. At the shore of the lake, the Americans wheeled around and caught the French off gaurd. The entire left flank was destroyed, leaving the middle exposed. Napoleon quickly manuvered to counter this, but it was too late. The Americans had breached the line.

For the first time in his life, Napoleon began to witness failure beyond measure. When he regained his thoughts, he ordered a retreat, double time.

Final statictics, French dead: 34,000, French wounded, 28,000, total French Casualties: 62,000. American dead: 22,000, American wounded, 22,000, total American Casualties: 44,000. Total casualties: 108,000. Second only to Wolfsboro in blood and guts... and a sad day for mighty France...

Good to se y'all reading along! Now, on to the update!

Chapter 50, The Pass, The Retreat, and The Creation Of Venice

The French skidaddled over through the pass until they reached the entrance, which was blocked off with snow. To run over the thing wouyld be suisidal, because the snow had little integrity to hold such an army. He still had 110,000 men, so if the Americans attacked again, he would still stand and fight.

A mere three days after the attack, on February 21, 1753, he ordered that a series of trenchworks be built to keep the enemy at bay. The works went from one side of the pass to the other, and about one mile long. A map was created by Napoleon, and he emailed his soliders via iPhone and they uploaded directions, so they wouldn't get lost. GPS for their trenchworks, I guess you could say.

February passed without incident, as did March. But, on April 25, great things started to happen. The pass was melting, and the soliders would be able to get through soon. The trenchworks that Napoleon had built turned into canals for thee flooding water. The tents were placed between the canals, and small boats were used to carry sorts of things between camps in each section of the canal. Later, the farm people of this valley would use this as irrigation, and a town eventually sprang up here. The locals called it 'Venice', which means "Much Water" in Old English.

By May 17, the entire pass was clear, and Napoleon ordered the retreat out. On the 19th, he met up with Gen. l'Orenie, which provided him with much needed men to replace the casualties sustained at Ascotia. On the 31st, he came to Philadelphia, where he had temporarily stationed his troops before. Here, he gave command to Gen. Bauleseinegaie, with orders to hold off enemy attacks onto the plains. Napoleon began the long ride home to Paris, to explain to the people of the largest loss in the war so far.
