Free that is, unless they're not landed aristocrats. Sacking defenseless cities hardly provokes sympathy from other powers, nor does it suggest strength. The United States are on a mission of human rights and will accept nothing less than unconditional surrender.

CHALLENGE!!!!!

winterfritz · April 21, 2002, 00:06

With school starting again I've found that I simply don't have time to play all of the pbems I'm involved in. So, I've been forced to pull out of this one

Would anyone else like to take Mexico?

France and Spain Strike North!

After seeing far greater wealth in the fertile fields of the Confereracy then in the Mexican wastes, French and Spanish forces have landed in the CSA.
Once Tampa was occupied French/Spanish troops were able to fan out across Florida and South Carolina, capturing the lightly held cities of Jacksonville and Charleston.

While this was going on Spanish agents were able to persude the garrison of Mobile to surrender their city in return for $200 million dollars and a promise to re-open the traditional and lucrative slave trade.

The ANZAC · April 28, 2002, 14:18

Winterfritz: your go.

JamesJKirk · April 28, 2002, 16:06

Look up a few spaces, ANZAC, or rather read it right here:

Sorry to hear you gotta go winterfritz, you too soundwave. It'd be nice to keep this going though, so hopefully somewhere, out there, there are replacements

The ANZAC · April 28, 2002, 16:47

Missed that one.

I guess we should put out a call.

Darius871 · May 3, 2002, 17:22

I tried to do the turn quite a while ago, but I need Winterfritz's password. It'll be here as soon as he replies to me.

winterfritz · May 4, 2002, 00:38

I had to change it Darius, as I use the same password for all my games. In the save posted below, it is 'coldfish', all lower case, no spaces.

Enjoy

Whoa, at first I thought this was Turtledove's American Empire scenario, I didn't know there was another of the same name. Although that was all right, I was surpised and relieved that this was a Civil War game.

No changes this turn. However, I noticed that I am at war with the Confederates. I didn't see that on the thread, so is this just from the AI's reaction to Brownsville and in reality we are keeping peace, or have we actually been at war?

Also, for any of the people who were planning on gifting techs to Mexico but Winterfritz refused, I am willing to take them. I have more than enough bandits, not to mention that they aren't as good as they sound. Specifically I want Railroad and Explosives, but you can be more generous if you find it in your best interests.

The ANZAC · May 4, 2002, 10:13

I am at peace with you, it was just from the seizing as you said.

Darius871 · May 5, 2002, 00:50

Oh, ok. Let's keep it that way; I have enough to deal with in the Yucatan.

Evil Overlord · May 5, 2002, 13:14

I was prompted that you needed a Canada/UK player, so when it's my turn poke me.

The ANZAC · May 5, 2002, 17:59

Edit: Look at Darius' post.

Darius871 · May 5, 2002, 18:03

No, you mixed up me and overlord, here it is:

Major Union Breakthrough!
Federal forces smashed through defenses, completing the liberation of Tennesee by taking the city of Memphis, and continued on their successes by taking Abington, Atlanta and Charlotte. President Lincoln again issued an offer to accept total surrender of the Confederates, but no word of an acceptance has been reached. Although in the field, emmissaries for Jefferson Davis dropped their usual demand for money, and instead pleaded for a cease-fire. Union forces denied these requests however, as President Lincoln wants only to hear offers of surrender from the Confederate political leaders.

Formal Indian Peace Treaty Signed
Staff in the State Department were bewildered to discover that the Union was technically at war with the Indian Republic and quickly put forward a formal treaty to correct this mistake, which President Mad Cow easily accepted.

OOC: Can everyone post their email address, so we can have everyone's in the updated turn list?

jamesjkirk@aol.com

Darius871 · May 5, 2002, 18:21

Ok. From here on out I'll edit the order I put up to add them as they come.

The ANZAC · May 5, 2002, 18:40

theanzac@optonline.net BTW the Union is going to get a nasty surprise

JamesJKirk · May 5, 2002, 18:44

From your 16 or so units?

Case · May 5, 2002, 18:45

nick_dowling@hotmail.com

The ANZAC · May 5, 2002, 19:54

Whoever said units?

Evil Overlord · May 6, 2002, 22:39

I need the password..

bethel608@charter.net

Cyrion · May 7, 2002, 13:05

Sorry guys, but from tomorrow evening I won't have access to a computer till Monday evening next week!!

So, if my turn comes before, IF you really can't wait until I come back, just let the AI play it...

But of course I would prefer to play it myself as soon as I come back!!!

So, if you have to wait because of it, sorry... (well, actually I'm not THAT sorry, because I'm off to Scotland to taste a few whiskies and pints of bitter...

)

JamesJKirk · May 7, 2002, 15:01

So that sure was nice of Soundwave to leave the password with us, eh?

Cyrion · May 7, 2002, 17:36

Did you mean Soundwave's password?? Try "leanne", it should work...

Hey Sean, you'll need to find a new one for next time

Darius871 · May 7, 2002, 17:44

Yeah, I already PM'ed that to Evil Overlord awhile ago, just didn't want to post it here so that everyone reading wouldn't know how to break into every game Soundwave's in!

Like I said in the History thread, are you sure you don't just want a human to do the turn(s)? The AI's so damn stupid it could screw up your whole game!

Evil Overlord · May 7, 2002, 19:55

The password is wrong

Darius871 · May 7, 2002, 20:19

welll soundwave still is around the forum, he just can't do any turns. Try pm'ing him.
