You guys may want to hold off for a day or two - W.I.N.T.E.R. has submitted an updated version of the scenario to CFC

Grothgar · March 24, 2002, 19:43

DAS BERLINER May 1798

LEIPZIG FALLS!!! DUCHY OF SAXONY INCORPORATED INTO PRUSSIAN EMPIRE!!!

This month has seen amazing progress by our glorious armies. The Prussian Grenadiers, the 5th Regiment, stormed the walls of Leipzig supported by intense artilery fire. The loyal defenders of the city were slain to a man but there was an enthusiastic response from certain sectors of the city and a new saxon regiment was formed and marched to berlin to perfom an oath of service.

PRINCE OF BADEN KILLED, STABILITY FALLS, PRUSSIAN TROOPS CALLED IN TO RESTORE ORDER!!!

After hearing of the fall of Leipzig the Prince Of Baden foolishly thought he could stand against the Prussian forces and marched out to meet them, however he never reached the battlefield, a lone prussian sharpshooter took him out of the saddle with a clean shot to the head, this caused immediate panic in the city of frankfurt and the governor of the city called to prussian forces to restore order. We are confident that by next month the city will be under our duristiction.

KING WILLHELM CONGRATULATES FRENCH GAINS!!!

This month the King announced his pleasure with the gains of the french legions in the heathen lands of the turks, he says that everyone in europe should get behind them in their crusade against the infidels. He called the british resistance to their goal foolish and premature and is confident that the french army will conquer all. He invited the french diplomats to discuss an alliance proposal he has set out on his desk.

POLITE WARNING SENT TO AUSTRIA!!!

The King also asked that the austrians recognise their claims to the german republics as they are our by nature and all we are doing is uniting a disunited people. But he added that any interferance would be met with the full force of our mighty armies. He wishes no conflict but if conflict is to come there will be only one winner. Us!!!

Game attached, map coming next.

Grothgar · March 24, 2002, 19:45

Soundwave · March 24, 2002, 20:53

Case would you like Turkey, or would you not like to?

Thanks

Case · March 24, 2002, 21:02

As I said to Soundwave previously, I'm already in enough PBEM's, including a GNB one, so I'll turn down your offer.

I will steal Grothgar's map and drag it off to CFC though

Soundwave · March 24, 2002, 21:09

Okies, and no probs, Grothgar and YOUR MAPS!! LOL!!

Soundwave · March 24, 2002, 21:12

Naval Battle at Brest, French Naval Force Sunk in Harbour, Brest the city and Docks also taken, The King Wishes Peace with Napoleon, but if continues this agressive nature, Britian will stay at war...

British Naval Forces encountered two scout ships in the med and destroyed them!

Soundwave · March 24, 2002, 21:16

mordhiem · March 25, 2002, 06:58

Let us make the Franco-Prussian alliance public! As for the British, Francec has no grivences with your peoples only the oppressors of freedom that are the barbaric Turks. We will not mount any serious operations against your nation if you kindly return us Brest or we will take it by force.

If Turkey is available I would like to take it if it's ok.

The ANZAC · March 25, 2002, 20:54

Good, now we're all set to go!

Grothgar · March 25, 2002, 23:36

Well now we have a turkey player i do believe its turkeys go

Dream Deceiver · March 27, 2002, 10:28

The Turkish armies battle daringly against the foreign invaders and liberate the city of Jaffa. Also heavy casulties are inflicted to the French near Kairo.

Selim III also starts a new program to raise the Turkish economy to its feet.

The ANZAC · March 27, 2002, 19:54

The Russian Empire would like an end to hostilities with the Ottoman Empire. The only request is acknowledgement of Russian protectorateship of Bulgaria. Once that is agreed to, Russia will end fighting.

Dream Deceiver · March 28, 2002, 11:07

The Ottoman Empire recognizes the Russian protectorateship of Bulgaria and agrees to end hostilities. May this peace mark a new beginning in peaceful cooperation between the two great empires.

Soundwave · March 28, 2002, 12:22

Great Britian Calling for Alliances with the Ottoman EMpire, Russia, Austrian Empire, if these words are unheaded then Britian will continue the war, even if it is the only one.

mordhiem · March 28, 2002, 12:42

It is obvious that the British Prime Minister does not have a real grasp of the situation he finds himself in. Europe is ready for peace and does not wish to fight a prolonged and bloody conflict. France calls to Britain for the return of Brest and that the British warmongers leave the soil of our great republic. As to the other countries, why follow the example set by the British? Surely you do not wish to sacrifice thousands of your counties finest men just because some stuffy politician in Westminster is waging war because of some personal vendetta against France? We are striving towards a better Europe where all nations and empires can co-exist in harmony, why should we throw all this progress away?

L'Empurer Napoleon

Soundwave · March 28, 2002, 13:46

Let me remind Europe if you submit and become 'allies' of France you are no more than satelites to France, nothing more. She will control your foreign policy, to be difficult Britian will stand and will not may peace just so Napoleon Bonapart and Prussian Genrals cam crave up the neutral cities as they please, as I was info so stupidly by Prussia Miltary Authorites to presume Britian would join an alliance will France-Prussia. I will not see that Europe be carved up, by those who do not deserve it! I call on the Ottoman, Austrian, Russian Elements to rise up, if we fight now, France is Weak and Napoleon is in Egypt! Not France!!

We Must Act for the stablization of Europe!

Not the Destruction of France, but the Destruction of Napoleon

Jimmywax · March 28, 2002, 14:35

The French emporer Napolean speaks of a peaceful Europe with all it's nations living in harmony. At the same time he marches his troops on Venice, Austria turns its nose up at your so called offer of peace. Your troops outside of Venice have been dispatched with minimal effort. Emporer Francis II and the Austrian Empire will join Britain in her fight against this little tyrant. I also call to the nations of the Russians and the Ottomans to join us. The turks are already locked in a struggle with the French, let us join together and present a united front.

Dream Deceiver · March 28, 2002, 15:00

The Great Sultan Selim III addresses a short speech for the leaders of Europe dealing with the situation of the Ottoman Empire.

"The Austrian Empire has asked us to join in a common struggle against the Empire of French and its leader Napoleon. We decline this offer. The Turkish Empire will not become a chessman for the power hungry nations and wants no part in this ridiculous show off contest. We hope for an United Europe where nations are allowed to live in peace side by side and without outside interferences. At the moment the united front against L'Emperer Napoleon does not pursuit these ideals."

The ANZAC · March 28, 2002, 15:01

Glad to hear peace can begin! We ask now for control of Sofia (ie let me build a city on the coast) and that will complete the Transaction.

Also the Russian Empire at this time is facing internal problems and would like to step out from aggressive policies towards other nations.......until a later date

Dream Deceiver · March 28, 2002, 15:11

The Ottoman Empire did not agree to any settling actions!
We don't allow any Russian city to be build near Bucurest!
The Great Sultan thought that the Russians wanted the control of the hills and forest north of Bucurest. We still allow this but any settlement in the Turkish territory will be attacked. We wish
peace with the Russians and we hope that you understand that your proposal of building a city is absurd and not accepted.

The ANZAC · March 28, 2002, 15:15

OK, just to let you know Bulgaria is south of Rumania. Fine, I will accept control of Carpathia and Transylvania (the areas yyou stated)

Dream Deceiver · March 28, 2002, 15:32

We blame the head cartographer for the misinformation.
He will soon enjoy a vacation in the coal mines of Antioch.

The Carpathia&Transylvania are yours but the mountainous terrain just north of Bucurest is still ours. You can have the forest and hills but not the mountain square!

The ANZAC · March 28, 2002, 16:36

Settled then.

Soundwave · March 28, 2002, 16:38

Well Done

!!!

Grothgar · March 30, 2002, 04:21

I do believe it is frances go...

Also Britain, its funny how you say that prussia doesnt deserve to "carve" up the neutral cities, but have you forgotten that the german cities are naturally in prussias sphere of influence and as i have said before theres not much you can do about it, and also this is just prussia reuniting all the german speaking countries in northern europe.

mordhiem · March 30, 2002, 18:03

Vive la France!
Vive L'Empurer!

The great Napoleon has liberated the port of Brest! Townsfolk speak of the horrible plundering and pillaging commited by British sailors and soilders. Napoleon hopes that this underlines the futility of any British invasion and wishes to disscus a cease-fire of some kind.

In other news the union of Prussia and France has been made official. A ceremony unpreccendented in proportion and wealth took place in Berlin, where Frederick of Prussia and Imperial Ambassador Chevain (filling in for Napoleon who is still on campaign) signed and confirmed the alliance.

As per terms of the agreement, France has begun liberating and unifing the independet kingdoms between the two countries borders. Napoleon speaks of how these underdeveloped peoples will benefit greatly with the coming of French and Prussian rule. The organisation and coordination of a proper government will bring great benefit to the cities and town that were previously in a shambles.

Napoleon stretches out a hand of peace to Austria and Russia stating how a long protracted war will only bring misery to our countries and peoples. We could be using the resources and effort currently being spent on a pointless war on much more important and grandiose projects.

FRANKFURT FALLS PEACEFULLY, OFFICIALS ACCEPT ADMINISTRATION!!!

This month could be called an even more glorious month for our amazing armies than the last month. Today our nation incorporated one more city of the german states. As had been expected the city fell peacefully after the defeat of the prince of baden last month. Prussian administrators have been rushed to the city to set up an interim government while the proper power structure is founded.

NAVY SUFFERS DEFEAT!!! FREDERICK SAYS "I DON'T CARE!"

The Prussian Navy, which only consisted of 2 fleets of frigates was sunk by the naval forces of Denmark, which has foolishly entered the conflict on the side of the german states, our ancesteral rights!! Our glorious king was quoted as saying he didnt care as wars are won on land and not on the oceans.

FREDERICK CONGRATULATES FRENCH GAINS!!!

Our wise and glorious king Frederick has welcomed the french gains in europe and in turkey as he says, "whatever the french gain, is something our enemies cannot." He said that the french were being very honourable with their regards to the Treaty of Berlin, and that they had not overstepped the mark, he also invited all the nations of europe to berlin to discuss peace terms with each other, turkey was not invited...
