Yet another ZWK Game.

Dumb Opera crashed when I posted the last message, so the file didn't attach.

Edit: I can't upload files with Opera. When I click to post message and it is uploading the file it says "connection closed by remote server" and it posts the message without the attachment. BTW I haven't been able to login with IE 6 since I upgraded it.

Maybe you should try the 'upload file' option. That uploads the file to a different server and then you just link to it in your post. if that doesn't work, just e-mail me the file (just click on the 'submit HOF game' in my sig) and I can then post it; or play my turn then post it.

E-mailing the file may be the easiest way for now.

 

[elibb]

I hope this works.

EDIT: Obsolete Save deleted.

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Got it. I'll be able to play in a couple of hours.

If switching to Netscape is too much of a pain, try one of the things above.

Do you wanna give us any details on what you did during your turn?

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

After the top secret moves of the Axis, the Allies take the stage.

The American navy found an Axis submarine just off the coast of Norfolk. With great precision the American navy in that area sunk the agressor and became veteran in the process.

The entire Allied production has been overhauled. All cities are now gearing up for thier theaters of operation.

Sorry about my late pm ,but last night i actually went to sleep.

Anyway ,it isn't yet my turn isn't it ,i guess my turn come's after Darius?

 

[Darius]

Yup.

Unexpected drive into southern France is being prepared, and mobilization in North Africa. Mussolini begins vast campains of arms production.

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

A little summary:

Did some reform's toward's army building ,basicly strenthening defenses and building up forces around strategic position's as to ensure security.More in-depth information will not be granted as our benovelent Dictator wishe's to keep utmost secrecy about the position's and manouvre's of the Great Soviet Army.

Dukoflandrikov ,right hand of our great godly leader.

 

[sas]

Summary:

"The people of Poland, France and Greece prepares for the comming onslaught. We have fortified our positions and will try to stall the mighty Axis and Soviet warmachine untill we get help from out trusted allies. Allso we have restructured our millitary and civilian production."

 

[Duke of Marlbrough]

We have yet to receive your 'donation' to our great empire of $3 trillion dollars (said in Austin Powers' Dr. Evil voice), so we assume you are talking of some other 'allies' in general.

 

[Darius]

I forgot to mention, I would like to request of my gracious allies some sort of air technology, as all I can build is tanks and militia. Namely I wish for axis bomber and axis fighter, nothing moe. This is in both our best interests, as it allows us to annihilate the allies in North Africa, drawing forces from your campaign, as well as deny them access to your southern flank by my defeat.

If that is not enough, I am willing to discuss any other payment, such as scrapping my campaign in Greece to give us a stronger joint venture in France.

Please beware, this is crucial enough to both of us that your refusal could force me into an armistice, or perhaps some help from your neighbor to the East...

 

[TheDuckOfFlanders]

After delibiration with the important leader's of our nation ,well only 1 leader actually ,our mighty and unopposed ruler Jozef Stalin ,the Russian's have decided they may be interrested in a mutual science agreement's with the Allied Nation and it's ruler the Duke.

We ask the leader of the Allied nation to check his secret communication's channel's (pm) for the specific's of this proposed agreement.

edit: Note to darius ,give us our tank back.

 

[oubai1]

If any spots open up, count me in

 

[Darius]

what tank?

edit: oh wait, I get it. tough!

 

[kobayashi]

I would just like to mention that it is strongly suggested in the documentation that the Axis & minor Axis should play as a team permanently. Ditto for the Allies & minor Allies. So if any part of the team achieves the winning objectives, both win. So the should not need to beg for techs from their partners or say things like

"Please beware, this is crucial enough to both of us that your refusal could force me into an armistice, or perhaps some help from your neighbor to the East..."


On the other hand, if you guys decided to play as 5 seperate powers, then its a whole new ball game. I suppose players who are allied can still win as a team and the minors could change alliances freely. Possible winning combos are:

Allies & minor Allies
Allies & minor Axis
Allies & minor Axis & minor Allies

Axis & minor Allies
Axis & minor Axis
Axis & minor Axis & minor Allies

Soviets & minor Axis
Soviets & minor Allies
Soviets & minor Axis & minor Allies

 

[willemvanoranje]

soooo........place free for an Independant power? Can magine that would stall the game too much though, although it can mean a giant twist in the war of course, even though it is so young. Imagine Franco allying with Hitler, or Turkey with Russia. Could all happen.

 

[elibb]

The great Axis army is advancing.

The sieges of Katowice, Salsbourg, Kirako, Reins and Danzig have commenced.

Katawice and Danzig were succesfully captured while Salsbourg was pillaged and burned to the ground and Kirako(sp?), and Reins are targeted on the next bombing run.

Also the operation of a Minor Allies capital ship near Marsielles has effectivly ended.


BTW can anyone get spies later?
Darius, check you pms.

[Duke of Marlbrough]

Got it. I won't be able to play for another 16 hours or so, sorry (see my post above about not being here most of Saturday).

When I do play, I'll edit this post and PM Darius.

Turn played and PM sent. Can't post a file during an edit, so I posted it down a couple messages.

 

[Darius]

Kobayashi-

Obviously I'm not going to ally myself with the Russians, that would be suicide. I'm just talking about a science exchange, as remote a possibility that may be.

For that matter, is it against the rules to get a non-axis technology? For instance, it could mess up the game for Italy to have Sturmoviks, but maybe not...
