By the way, now that your turn is done, did you also destroy the floating mines that accompanied the ships? I'm pretty sure you could have seen them with your destroyers...

oww
smacked my hand on the wall doin a victory dance ;p
Sounds like its been a bad week for you Centrals...
but remember
About tech trading: I have been stealing techs from my allies and using my cash to rush. So yeah, I think TT for multiplayer should be allowed; this is costing me time and money stupidly.
About cavalry: no. the russian cavalry's ability to hit the enemy from far away is the ONLY advantage of the out-teched, out-produced, over stretched russian army. i made a HUGE mistake with my first few turns of slash and burn on austria; any future russian players will probably run things a bit better than i did on the first few turns (although i doubt they will match the great raid ;p).
artillery: all of saverok's scenarios have really powerful arty. it makes sense in this one. however, it would surprise me to hear that russia is one of the few countries to have the ability to build 2tile ranged arty.
question: why does russia not start with conscription? i mean yeah sure game balance... but russia=conscription...
i guess it might be a bit unbalancing, but its really not fair!
I think that some techs should be tradeable, like the preliminary techs, but that the ones that actually let u build something cool should not. that way people would have to do some research, but one person with a high tech rate could do the main stuff.
Some inspirational quotations:
"God is on the side with the heaviest artillery"
-Napoleon
"Nobody ever won a war by dyng for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country"
-Patton
k my hand wants to die hurry up i wanna play my turn now im all excited ;p

You are correct BK ... Dreads are 10 - 0 .
I did destroy the mines as well ... didn't think I was going to leave those for you to hit my Dreads, now did you ?
Your little sub/destroyer combo north of Amsterdam is still intact as are the Floating Mines close to it ... but never fear, my ships are out of the mines range this turn [dance]
You got your ass
or should that be 
?
You can probably tell, I was pleased with my turn this time

I was hoping that you would fail to scout that far ahead of your Grand Fleet and I could be the attacker since offensive actions in the sea are typically going to fare quite well. I mean Dreadnoughts Off is 30 compared to defense of 20. I was also hoping that you would run out of units to throw at the floating mines or misread their ratings or something. Since I have mines protecting mainland Germany I did not have much to lose whereas a defeat of your Grand Fleet and you would essentially be eliminated from the war on the western front. I suppose this leaves the Netherlands vulnerable, but I will just have to meet any invasions when they land.
Oh well, the war is far from over, but is definitely in favor of the Entente at the moment. I really wonder how much land is needed for victory or how many victory point positions are required for a win.

Ottomans battle report:
Someone have done some mine fishing at the 'Golden horn'. My answer is:
destroyed 2 Russian sub near Varna, 1 Russian destroyer east of Sevastopol and 2 English destroyer NE of Athen for the loss of 1 destroyer
I can't say i'am happy with the attack at Sinai and after the loss of 3 units, my turkish berserkers decided to send Gaza to hell:
after massiv arty bombings, we killed 1 pop, destroyed port and market and killed 2 MG's and 1 Inv. for the loss of 2 Inv. All other enemy units are down to 1 hp.

1914 Week 42 (13th week of the war)
The Kaiser continues to weep after the loss of his High Seas Fleet. For this reason (and the fact that we are outnumbered on this western front) the German Military underwent very few operations. Only the remnants of the navy saw action.
2 Destroyers & 1 Sub (Ger) def. Sub, Light Cruiser & Transport (Br) in the English Channel
1 Floating Mine (Ger) def. 1 Destroyer (Fr) in the North Sea
In response to Austrian pleas for an attack on the Russians, German troops were ordered towards Lodz in preparation for an attack. Luckily Civ3 does not have seasons, because moving into Russian territory during the equivalence of October would be bad idea...leaves about 1 month to fight before winter. Other then that the Kaiser is trying desperately to formulate a plan to swing the tide of the war.
The micromanaging is just new for me...I see its value, but if you allow the governor to manage, there is almost never civil disorder in a city.

This tricky Kraut sent me last weeks file ;p
They think they can fool the Tzar... well they cannot!
We merely sat weeping for the losses of many men for ten minutes before realizing just what had happened.
Sneaky Hun! The world sees your perfidy! You broke the truce, you invade the motherland... we will bury you! ;p
(Fi-nal-ly! I've been waitin to see how the Ever Victorious Army fares against the German hordes... even if it does mean we take a few for the team!)

Oh yeah by the way. Italy sends it's congrats in sinking the German Navy. I believe now it is time to settle the score with the only Navy that is left-The Austrian Adriatic Fleet.
Minor Fleet operations, requests British support since the Germans have been wiped out.
Also Italy gives this Note to the Central Powers: Note because of the destruction of the German Fleet you should know that by now your most strongest power has been crippled beyound repair. Give up now! or face the consequences! Austria you have not even been able to destroy Serbia! and Romania! surely you see the futility in further resistance.

Yes the German Navy is beaten at the moment, however, the Baltic Fleet still remains. Anyone with a spy would know that! Also are army is by far the strongest in Europe. We have more infantry than every country except for Russia...and our Infantry is superior (the stats don't lie) and has far less territory to defend. Our Artillery is superior and we have new Artillery being sent to the front very soon (2 turns).
The German and British Navies only met once in the real war with a very indecisive battle...he beat my capital ships so what...there are no real consequences except that he will be able to bombard the crap out of Antwerp...which he was already going to do...I sent the High Seas Fleet to defeat the Royal Navy. It failed, but at least it weakened it by almost half.
By the way, the correct turn (week 43 save but actually week 42) was sent onward to Aeon.
That is all,
Kaiser BK

Yes, the Kaiser is right... his Baltic fleet limped away from an artillery duel off of Russian held Finland not two weeks ago... ;p
Lets just say I doubt that it is much of a match for the British navy
Turk:
Technically, my boats ARE off your coastline. I bombard every turn... it just normally fails. But if your ships want to come out and play ;p
haha remember its a game you psychos! hehe
