here it is, I am sure it is not worth the wait but oh well. You are just going to have to live with it aren't you.

Scott F · January 31, 2002, 19:43

Germany is silent, for now, eagerly awaiting the French offensive at Artois and the British landing at Gallipoli while consolidating our gains elsewhere.

Case · January 31, 2002, 23:02

I guess that it's now Kirks turn to play the Russians.

Scott, is there a password on the Americans?

JamesJKirk · February 4, 2002, 13:50

Damn apolyton and it's not-telling-me-about-new-posts! I'll play my turn later this evening I believe, and in actuality this time too

Jimmywax · February 4, 2002, 18:58

I would like to take this oppurtunity to offer the French leadership to anyone. It is not that I have anything better to do, I am just bored with it and do not enjoy going bankrupt if I mount an offense or I lose a few units. Everytime I build something that will help bring in money, the game sells it because I lose three guys. I will keep playing my turn until someone else agrees to take over. They will probably fair better than me anyways.

Following the sacking of the top echelon of generals and war minister's, the Tsar announced the filling of all related posts, and offered assurances to the Russian people that new strategies and tactics shall prevail over our enemies in Austria and Germany.

First Army Launches Counterattack, Nashville Retaken

Under the command of the intrepid and daring General George Armstrong Custer, American forces have launched a limited counterattack and retaken the city of Nashville from the Confederates. Thousands of liberated negroes lined the streets to welcome the return of First Army's brave fighting men. With the encirclement broken, American forces have reinforced the liberated areas of Alabama and Missippi. To the east, Cavalry raids out of Richmond have destroyed a series of vital Rebel railway lines.

Pacific Fleet Bears Down on the Philippines

The Pacific Fleet, accompanied by transports laden with battle-hardened US Marines fresh from their victories in the liberation of the Hawaiian Islands, is now bearing down on the Philippines, standing ready to push the last Anglo-Japanese presence from the Pacific altogether. The ships are now holding off of the coast in preparation for what has ominously been called Operation Tornado. Elements of the Pacific Squadron of the German High Seas Fleet are sailing south from Kiaochow Bay to assist in the attack. In other news, patrolling navy destroyers have sunk a Confederate destroyer and a Confederate submersible off of the coast of the Hawaiian Islands. With each passing day, the Pacific Ocean becomes more and more a German and American lake.

Nothing much happened.

Scott F · February 11, 2002, 05:41

KIRK!

KIRK!

KIRK!

KIRK!

KIRK!

JamesJKirk · February 12, 2002, 02:05

I guess I just felt that I'd played to recently for it to be my turn already! Anyway, Mobile was heroically retaken by superwonderful Confederate forces. Yay. Maybe it's just me, but I think perhaps the US's production power would prove victorious in a prolonged ***-for-tat war....

EDIT: Oh excuse me, oh supreme naughty-language-editing deity, "t!t-for-tat"

Scott F · February 14, 2002, 08:32

Jimmy?

Jimmywax · February 19, 2002, 22:12

Sorry for the guys, I was hoping somebody would take me up on the offer of France but oh well. Here is the file and as usual no changes.

Scott F · February 21, 2002, 11:43

A Turkish counterattack has destroyed the British landing force at Gallipoli. Not much else happened.

I was waiting for this.

The Tsar continues his policy of allowing untested generals to control military affairs, and provides assurance to the Russian people that fresh victories shall come soon

Case · February 23, 2002, 19:32

I'll play my turn as soon as Scott sends me the password

More Victories for the US Navy!

Warships of the United States Pacific and Atlantic Fleets have carried out 'Operation Fishnet', resulting in the sinking of numberous Rebel and British raiders.

Meanwhile, the US Asiatic Fleet continues its journey towards the Phillipines...

The war continues to drag on, Confederate forces are consolidating their gains made last month, and skirmishing with federal forces. Also, some wins at sea, some losses at sea.

In other news...
The race for the Presidency of the Confederacy is picking up steam, as ever-unpopular President Wilson's hand-picked Whig successor Gabriel Semmes struggles against challenger Rad-Lib Doroteo Arango. At this point the results of the race cannot be seen, which we are sure is much to the disappointment of President Wilson.

JamesJKirk · March 2, 2002, 04:09

have you had any luck getting someone to play France, Jimmy? Also, have you gotten anything into position for our long-ago discussed planning?

Jimmywax · March 2, 2002, 14:10

No on both accounts, France sucks!

Jimmywax · March 2, 2002, 22:56

Here is my turn

Canadians Smashed

Troops of the US 5th Army have defeated a minor Canadian offencive in New Brunswick. Despite the ease of the victory, the Army General Staff is taking the Canadian threat seriously, and reinforcements have been sent to the Canadian border. In addition the US Navy's Great Lakes Squadron has moved to its forward bases.

Army takes to the Air!

The US Army has comissioned it's first aviation unit. The 1st Scouting Wing will be used to patrol the front line with Canada.

Below: aircraft of the 1st Scouting Wing are formally accepted by the US Army

Pacific Railroad re-opened

Following recent military and industrial victories, the Pacific Railroad has been reopened. The reopening of the railroad has allowed President Roosevelt to make his first visit to California since the start of the Morman uprising. The president's return home was delayed due to congestion on the railroad caused by troop movements.

Dr. Nick · March 6, 2002, 21:56

Nothing much happened, the general staff takes a nap in London.

JamesJKirk · March 7, 2002, 00:02

Oy! Not even a whole day later, and it's my turn again! I'll post it tomorrow!

JamesJKirk · March 9, 2002, 04:20

Nothing much goin on...one question though:

I discovered the Heavy Artillery tech a while ago, but I'm not able to build them, shouldn't I be??

Jimmywax · March 14, 2002, 16:37

Nothing to report from the front lines.

Scott F · March 18, 2002, 22:27

Can you post that again? It won't load for me and I think that the file is corrupted.
