It has been so long since I played the last turn in this pbem that I had forgotten nearly everything about the country...

Not much to say, so the save:

The ANZAC · September 12, 2002, 19:33

Nothing to report

Darius871 · September 16, 2002, 12:43

Bumpin Russia

yop73 · September 16, 2002, 12:52

Oops

EDIT: Ottomans need to play first ...

Darius871 · September 18, 2002, 02:58

There is no Ottoman player here. I took Germany over when academia left, and Furst Metternich (who was to take Turkey from me) has disappeared in other games.

yop73 · September 18, 2002, 14:45

Nothing happened.
Though we ask an explanation about the German battleships west of Liepa.

PS: wrong name again, right file again.

In north africa, French forces are surrounding guerilla forces and moving towards the last rebellion stronghold...

Several trade units sent to germany and russia.

Ehrm who exactly is allied to whom? My diplomatic advisor says I am allied to Austria-Hungary, Italy, and Great Britain, but I really don't know what the hell is going on for Germany.

Repeating question, what is the alliance structure here?

Good question Darius

All i know is that there where several "secret" alliances, but i'm not sure how they where made up.

Darius871 · September 19, 2002, 02:00

True, and since many of the players then are gone I think we have to clarify everything.

sas · September 22, 2002, 03:11

this is my unofficial list of allies. I'm not sure if they are completely correct.

Britain and France where allies.
Russia and France where allies, but Russia never stated that they would honor such an alliance.

I think Germany had an defensive alliance with Britian, but i'm not sure.

I dont think Italy had any alliances.

Anyone else that remembers??

Darius871 · September 22, 2002, 03:14

Britain and Germany did sign an alliance, but ironically it was just a few turns before we were going to attack them so it may have just been a rouse; only ANZAC or Scott would know.

sas · September 22, 2002, 03:48

I just remembered, The alliance between France and Britain was a secret one

And i suspect the Brit/Germ alliance was a rouse..

Darius871 · September 22, 2002, 03:52

Well not very secret, it was on my intel screen anyhow.

Yeah it was a ruse; Scott kept wondering why I would keep putting off signing the alliance through the diplomacy screen

Darius871 · September 22, 2002, 17:39

Ok, so it seems it's France, Britain, and Russia vs. Germany and AH. However since AH was one of the countries to invade Germany too I don't know whether their alliance was real, but then again the player at the time is gone now anyway... and...

Let's put it this way, what are your plans for AH, Civfan?

Civfan · September 22, 2002, 19:07

Austria had an alliance with France, to keep a peace. A friendship pact or arrangement was made with Russia.
I'll take my turn abit later tonight.

Civfan

ps. If war breaks out, AH was intented to stay neatrul.

Darius871 · September 22, 2002, 19:11

hmm, so I guess I'm all alone.

The ANZAC · September 22, 2002, 19:18

I'll sign a defensive alliance with you darius

Darius871 · September 22, 2002, 19:20

Okay thanks.

Still not a very clear-cut Europe though.

The ANZAC · September 22, 2002, 19:56

*BUMP* for next in line

Darius871 · September 22, 2002, 21:07

Civfan

Civfan · September 23, 2002, 00:07

Austria has taken her turn. all hail austria!

Cyrion · September 24, 2002, 04:02

First of all, I've got a question: the Ottoman Empire is now played by the cruel Sultan Abdullah Idiotic, is that correct?

Because, if it's the case, it sure does change the geopolitical situation! So before everybody jumps on poor Turkey, the League of Nation should meet and decide whether we'll need to appoint a new leader to the Ottoman Empire, or if the country will need to be protected (read "occupied") by his neighbours...

And the save:

The ANZAC · September 24, 2002, 18:38

nothing much.

As secretary-general of the League of Nations, I propose a resolution where no nation shall seize any territory of the Ottoman Empire and if any nation should break this, then the other nations have an obligation to restore the lost Turkish territory.

Britain supports Turkey's defense.

The ANZAC · September 24, 2002, 18:39

the save

Darius871 · September 24, 2002, 18:59

Since I have nothing to gain from the Ottoman Empire and no allies who would either, I'll throw in Germany's support for the proposal.

sas · September 25, 2002, 15:43

France supports the proposal as well. But what if Ottoman declares war?

diegoami · September 25, 2002, 16:10

I might be interested in joining in as the Ottoman Player... err... Where do you download the scenario file ?

The ANZAC · September 25, 2002, 17:45

the resolution would only be for protection from a foreign aggressor for the time being, not helping the Ottomans attack others. If the Ottoman Empire does declare war, then the resolution is null and void.
