Pap said that he is out from all of his PBEMs. What we do now? A new German player?

klesh · May 15, 2002, 19:27

Yes, I would prefer that. I havent even got to fight yet! I have merely micromanaged tediously for the past turns. I would like a chance to see what is going to happen...

Case · May 15, 2002, 19:55

If you guys don't already have someone lined up, I'll be happy to take Germany

klesh · May 16, 2002, 00:23

Marko, you get the call obviously...

-Vasily

Marko · May 16, 2002, 12:49

Welcome Case!
The scenario files are on the first page of this thread. You need also to ask Axis password from Pap and you are in.

Case · May 16, 2002, 19:04

Thanks

I've emailed Pap for the password, and when he gets back to me I'll play the turn

*starts pileing up Hosen to build defencive positions*

Henrik · May 20, 2002, 02:58

The french player (who plays before the civ that you lack password for) needs to remove his password first, in order for me to be able to do anything.

Marko · May 21, 2002, 18:55

French password is Prince

Fighting in Norway Continues

The German offencive in Norway continues to gain pace. In the last month the city of Bergen has fallen and British forces around Narvik and in Northern Norway have been smashed.

Zagreb Falls

Following a furious aerial bombardment the city of Zagreb has fallen to the German 3rd Army. German casualties were low.

Kalmer · May 26, 2002, 08:01

Peaceful buildup of army continues.

To Axis: our offer to former Reich Fuhrer is still in force: if you give us Panzer IV and SS-Troops technologies, we give you FW-190 fighters tech.

The ANZAC · May 26, 2002, 12:28

Norway Evacuated

The last Allied forces have withdrawn from Norway. It was meant to be a campaign carried out with limited supplies and troops, in oder to not detract from defending Britain. PM Churchill vows we will fight on.

Bengahzi Seized!!

Today what remained of the Africa Corps was demolished at Bengahzi and the offensive is moving. Hopefully a link up with French forces will occur before the year is up.

The ANZAC · May 26, 2002, 12:29

The save

klesh · May 28, 2002, 14:41

The Soviets are very distressed at this point with the government of Turkey. Why must Mr Iönü insist on feeding the flames of warfare on the continent. The last thing all of us need is the Nazi's flying around with Folke Wolfs!

This matter is especially troubling since our communique's with Turkey have ceased. We attempted to warn them of impending danger in dealing with the old Axis regime, yet they cared not.

Therefore, the Soviet Union hereby presents an International Guarentee, that if the technology trade of PzKwIV/SS Troops <-> Folke Wolf 190 takes place between Turkey and the Axis Powers, Turkey shall then be held accountable for future agressions perpatrated with machinery gained from the impending trade. If the Soviet Union finds itself at War with the Axis nations in the future, it will indeed find itself at War with the Turks.

As the map of Europe is being ever altered by German militarism, we invite any other free nations to join this International Guarentee. Perhaps we can acrue a sizeable sum of money that Turkey would see fit to accept in exchange for withdrawl of its trade proposition.

We harbour no malintentions toward Turkey. However, in this age of total warfare with entire countries' very existance in question, the Soviet Union feels that your trade proposition is not in the best intrest of Europe as a whole. I'm sure you would feel this way when the Axis owns all of England, France, Spain, the Soviet Union et al and you are the last nation left to be conqured...

It gets lonely at times like that.

Again, no fighting has taken place during this month, and military drills are being intensified, as new officers hand picked by Stalin himself

are being trained for duty.

The ANZAC · May 28, 2002, 17:06

The British Empire supports the Russian statement.

Marko · May 30, 2002, 12:06

The Republic of France join with the International Guarantee. Proud French nation is always standing with our friends British and Soviet people.

Offensive in Africa is going well. Cities of Al Khums and Misratah were liberated from Italians. Link up with Allied army is expected soon.

Marko · May 30, 2002, 12:18

OCTOBER 1940

Axis took Bergen in Norway and Zagreb in Yugoslavia.

Allies took Banghazi in Africa.

France captured Al Khums and Misratah in Africa.

WINTER!

Before everybody's turn, run MULTI.bat and load Winter 1940/41 settings.

Victory in Norway

Following the British 'evacuation', German troops have occupied all of Norway.
The Kiegsmarine is currently in hot persuit of the British, and has sunk one British battleship and badly damaged another two. Luftwaffe bombers have also joined in the duck shoot, and have sunk a British aircraft carrier!

Yugoslavia Nears Destruction

The German 3rd Army has occupied the cites of Sarajevo and Split. The remaining Yugoslav forces are expected to surrender next month when Belgrade falls.

Corsica Occupied

Following a brief aerial bombardment German troops have occupied the French island of Corsica. Casulaties were reported as low.

Kalmer · June 5, 2002, 13:45

Turkish government decided not to give FW-190 fighters tech to Axis. We like to maintain good relations with Soviets and all other countries.

klesh · June 5, 2002, 18:02

Stalin today let out an audible sigh of relief when word of the Turkish withdrawl arrived to his dacha. This is because he had realised the potentiality of a Turkish refusal. Since the Axis are already engaged in a war with Both France and England, this would mean that upon the trade of techs Turkey would find itself at war with both these nations.

Stalin is willing to hear some requests by the Turks for compensation for their decision, as it will hinder their military abilities in the near future. Perhaps a sum of money to be sent from The Soviet Union, France and England? I am sure the three of us can come up with a reasonable ammount?

-Vasily Kleshnikov.

The ANZAC · June 5, 2002, 18:32

I'll PM Soundwave that it is his turn...

Marko · June 7, 2002, 11:31

Doesn't Soundwave left from all his PBEMs while ago? During last months Spain has been under AI control.

The ANZAC · June 7, 2002, 22:25

OK I guess I will continue then, if that is what everyone wants?

The ANZAC · June 7, 2002, 22:47

Moved:

Link up woith French forces in Africa. Mid-East command under Wavell is preparing his army...

klesh · June 7, 2002, 23:56

The winter sets in and our troops huddle up in their warm valenki and sip vodka to pass the time. The Finns aren't acting up yet...

No fighting has taken place.

-VK.

Marko · June 10, 2002, 12:57

New operations in Mediterranean theater are in preparation.

Marko · June 10, 2002, 13:03
