But the Swedish haven't been totally driven from South America... yet.

I will post it tomorrow so I can give it a bit of detail.

Right, actual casualties won't be mentioned here, they will be PMed to you all. That's to prevent people knowing what's in your armies etc.

HEADLINES

SOUTH AMERICA ENGULFED IN WAR

The American Alliance today launched a huge assault on Swedish South America. The South Africans supported the Swedes, and the 2nd South African Army dug in alongside the Swedish 3rd Army. Only the battered remains of the 3rd Swedish Army now remains, with the South Africans completely destroyed.

In a bold move, the 1st South African Army and the 2nd Swedish Army crossed the border, driving deep into Brazil. They were stopped only by the 2nd United States Army and Brazil's 3rd Army. These two armies drove the invaders back, but were ultimately completely destroyed. However, they inflicted massive damage upon the invaders.

THE WAR AT SEA

All transports made it through due to the brave sacrifice of their escorts. The 5th and 6th South African Fleets blasted a way through the 1st and 2nd Canadian Fleets, and Brazil's 6th Fleet, their superior firepower forcing the allies back. Heavy damage was taken by both sides, but the South Africans held to get the transports to safety.

The 4th United States Fleet was in the area, but looking for Swedish ships, not South African ones, and so the South Africans were able to slip through their fingers. The mighty 4th would certainly have finished off the South Africans.

In the north, the air groups of the Brazil, United States and Swedish navies clashed, with both sides losing aircraft. The ships clashed in a huge show of power, with neither gaining the advantage. The Swedish transports ran the gauntlet while the ships and aircraft kept the enemy occupied, and managed to deploy their cargoes.

THE AIR WAR

In Swedish South America, only one squadron, the South African 3rd Squadron, provided air cover for the land forces. They were decimated after being outnumbered about 3 to 1.

Casualties will now be PMed to all of you.

The land taken by Brazil, when countered with small slice taken by Sweden, gives Brazil an extra 10 gold per turn, and takes away from Sweden 10 gold per turn.

THE WAR IN GERMANY

16 Panzer regiments crushed 8 infantry regiments, and the huge allied force crushed the attack of 10 armoured regiments upon Berlin.

The Communists have been defeated, except for five infantry regiments believed to be hiding out near the Swedish border.

"My people many of our brave soldiers have died in this battle.They were infanterists,tank drivers,pilots or seamen.We lost many ships,planes and tanks.And few of our citizens now live under Swedish oppression.We have reports they are already building concentration camps for `rebels`.But despite this we were able to free many Argentinans from these bloody imperialists.Soon a new conscription phase will begin so we can replace our lost men.Together with our friends in Ottawa and Washington we will fight till all Americans are governed by true Americans."
 
"Swedish people, we have suffered horrible losses at the hands of the AA. They attacked our brave soldiers and killed many of them. Of course they also suffered horrible losses not estimated at this moment. Although we are pressed back and outnumbered many times WE WILL NEVER SURRENDER."

We desperately need help to defend ourselfs from the evil AA. You should now that we never supported the rebels in panama or anywhere else. And we have not built any concentration camps!
 
Dispatch from the government of Conrad von Hotzendorf
Never forget the only freedom fighters we have on our planet. Never forget those Germans, French and Russians buried in Munich, Berlin and Warsaw who selflessly gave their lives in the name of freedom and democracy. We shall never forget them, and as long as we are here they will be revered.

With the German Civil War quickly coming to a close, Germany again looks out on her world away from her home. Side by side with their friends in Paris and Moscow they have purged the Germanic countryside of Communism.

The situation brewing in America--nasty. President Cain, who spat upon every value I hold dear, dares to charge the Swedish as imperialist savages? The replaced every drop of oil in Germany at no cost. America just bashes my government, set up by them, in its darkest hour.

The German government is strongly considering joining Sweden in their fight to keep the American Alliance from dominating half the world.
 
OOC: Toasty, read your PMs!
 
Martin Yenkovich poked his head out form the hatch of the tank, and looked at the burrning ruins of what had been a town to his left, peered over at a fruit farm straight ahead. All around, the flat, lush greens, yellows and browns of crops growing spread towards the horizon. Behind him, like a huge dustcloud on the broad dirt road, stretched the marching coloumns of the infantry divisions of Russias 1st army.

The remains of the 1st Russian army's tank divisions, of which his "Naina" had been a part, trundled along at the head of the coloumn, through countryside familiar to him. He had been here before, in the last war. Only then, he had been fighting for the communists. Now many of his comrades had laid down their lives to defeat them. How strange life could be sometimes.

But politics and diplomacy were not his concern. His crew were his concern. His comrades in arms were his concern. And he was pleased that once again he had pulled them through without casualties, one of the few tanks that did.
Martin was not devout christian. But at times like this, the only sensible thing to do seemed to be thanking God for his good luck.

So, for the first time in more years than Martin Yenkovich cared to remember, he prayed.

Nicolay stood with his entourage at the foot of the gangway to his personal zeppelin. A place in Tempelhof airport had been hastily cleared for the Premiers personal transport. All around him, he saw the destruction caused by the misguided ideologies of the rebels. Still, fires burned, still gunfire and explosions could be heard in the distance. Government troops clearing out the last of the rebels.

Romanov noticed with a wry smile the red carpet on the ground in front of him, and the slightly hap-hazard honour guard that stood there waiting for him. His own paratroops. The 9th special. They had done well, but the had been hurt badly. Only half were left, many of them had been lightly wounded or mentally scarred for life. Paratroopers were tough, but the last stand in Berlin could not have been easy for anyone. He walked along, careful to stop and talk to each and every one of them. Words of encouragement. Praise. He needed to make them feel appreciated, special. That was the way to secure a soldier's loyalty. Notice him. Treat him like more than a statistic, more than cannon-fodder. Or at least make him feel that way.

The German liason tapped him on the shoulder when he was finished.
"This way, sir. We have an armored car ready to take you to the Reichstag. I'm sorry it's not more, ehm, fitting, but in these times..."
"I understand fully. You can take me to the Reichstag presently. The Chancellor and I have much to talk about. But first, take me to the infirmary."
"Sir, I don't know if..."
"Please."
 
Oops Toasty, I meant the Swiss border!

As the rest of the world declines into war, China holds her ground as a peaceful nation. She will, though, be ready to aid Japan if it declares war on Spain. China does not wish to take sides on the Swedish-AA conflict, as a sidenote.

NEWS FROM BRITAIN

"BRITAIN WILL NOT INTERFERE IN GERMANY, BUT WILL AID SWEDEN" - PRESIDENT HJALMAR MITCHELL

Pres. Mitchell declared today that Britain will not aid Germany against the Communist Rebellion. Mitchell said that the Communist Rebellion is proof of the German people's dissatisfaction at the present Democratic Governement. Mitchell said, that, although Britain does not support the concept of Communism, the RGB has not right to judge the political beliefs of other nations.

On the other hand, Britain WILL support Sweden, but only diplomatically for the time being. Mitchell said that the RGB Defence Force (RGBDF) will be concidering an all out attack on the AA, but he cannot comment on whether this will happen for sure.

PRESIDENT MITCHELL CRITISIZES AMERICAN ALLIANCE

In a heated press conference today in London, President Hjalmar Mitchell said that Britain does not on any level support the American Alliance. He said that the alliance has made itself guilty of terrorism in acting so agressively towards Sweden.

"Furthermore, Britain wishes to pledge it's support for Sweden in the South American War. The AA has no right to "annex" South American Argentina. I am infuriarated by the actions of especially America!"

The president said that Britain will empose an all out trade embargo against the nations of the AA.

POUND REACHES 6 MONTH HIGH

Despite Pres. Mitchell's recent criticism of America, the British economy has shown surprising good performance, proving that Britain is still the most influential economic power in Europe. The pound traded at a 6 month high against the Ruble, Dollar and Franc. Against the Geman Mark, the pound has reach an al time record high, mostly because of the political crisis in Germany. The exchange rates on Friday, 7 June 1935 was as follows:

1 Pound = $1, 56 (Previous week $1, 34)
1 Pound = Russian Ruble 1, 22 (Prev. week 1, 12)
1 Pound = French Franc 2, 33 (Prev. week 2, 07)
1 Pound = German Mark 3, 98 (Prev. week 3, 67)
1 Pound = International Gold Currency 298, 00 (Prev. week 324,00)

BRITISH ECONOMY ON A ROLL

Britons had reason to celebrate recently as announcements from the Treasury Department proves that the Economy is on the roll. GDP growth has increased to 4,2%. A massive 2% higher than 6 months ago. The Pound has strengthened against most currency's , whilst the price of gold and oil have decreased. This is largely the result of possitive centiment towards Britain, as investors flock to the relative stability of the Isle amid the crisis in Continental Europe, Southern Africa and The Americas.
 
To: Chancellor Gothart Von Hotzendorf & Premier Romanov
From: President Phillipe Henry
Subj: Victory
My friends I am glad that we may stand together glorious winners in the war against Comunism. But I come before you now to ask you not to get involved in South America.
We all know the consequences that a full scale war between our two continents could do. I ask you to remain on the side-lines and instead attempt to help the two enemies come to a peaceful solution in this crisis.
Although should either of you decide that war is the only answer then I too shall accept it and aid you any way possible.
Yours,
President Phillipe Henry


Landslide Victory, Henry Enters Third And Final Reign!

TRINITY ALLIANCE CONDEMNS AMERICAN ALLIANCE "AGGRESSION"

Prince Alexander, son of Greece's constitutional monarch, King Phillip II, was today elected Commanding General of the Trinity Alliance. He has proven himself to be like his father, who won successive battles in the Hundred Years War. The post gives him authority over all of the Trinity Alliance's military, but can only go to war if all three leaders agree. [OOC - Anyone who takes over a Trinity Alliance country can either pull out of the pact, or have me acting as the leader of the other two nations, but they will not be able to control all three nation's militaries.]

Upon his election, Prince Alexander had this to say:

"The Trinity Alliance condemns the action taken by the American Alliance. We are currently considering military action."


PIRATES DISAPPEAR FROM THE PACIFIC

The Pirates of the Pacific have been destroyed it would seem. Either by the British SAS uncovering their base of operations, or the Trinity Alliance increasing their naval presence in the Pacific. Whichever one caused it, the pirates it would seem have gone.


POSSIBLE BRITISH ACTION IN SOUTH AMERICA

The British President revealed that Britain may support the Swedes in the war in South America. Sources say that the Falkland Islands may possibly be given to Britain in return for military aid. The President refused to comment on such a deal.


RULE CHANGES TO THE GAME

From now on you can enact a trade embargo upon an enemy. This makes you both lose 5 gold per week. This means that you can gang up on an enemy if you don't want to go to war with them. 15 nations of the world ganging up on the other one would end up the nation only getting 25 gold per week(15*5=75 100-75=25) while everyone else got 95 gold per week!

Trade embargoes must be announced by PM to me. Also, you have to announce one when you are at war, or trade will continue as normal despite hostilities.

MAJOR RULE CHANGE TO COMBAT

I found when resolving combat that it is often difficult to decide whether a unit is using it's attack or defence value. Therefore I am planning just one value per unit. I promise you it will be fair, and costs will remain the same. It will be posted later tonight for everyone to see.

Also the first page will be updated tonight.
