Seeing as once again the last game stalled, (where is mordheim?) and also because there is a new version out of this brilliant PBEM scenario i thought we may as well start the game again...

Difficulty will be on Prince and of course we will use the neutral event files. Turkey, Neutrals and Barbarians will be AI so we need 5 players. Turn order posted below

So all we need now is someone to take Britain...

Britain is very playable

Pap1723 · April 21, 2002, 05:04

I'll play Britain guys!
I'd like to see what it is like from the other side.

Well Case its up to you for the first turn

And lets try to keep the game moving as fast as we can. No time limits as yet but this will change depending on the pace of the game. But i think that with only 5 of us and us being people who come here quite often it should go without a hitch.

France victorious on land and on sea!

The glorious French military has just finished a highly sucessful month.

Death of Nelson

The opening shots of this months fighting were fired by the French Navy. In a costly attack, the French Orient Fleet attacked British Admiral Nelson's squadron off Crete. After hours of furious fighting in which Nelson fought off several attacks, a lucky shot caused Admiral Nelson's ship to catch fire and explode. The single surviving ship of the French squadron sent out against Nelson is currently flying it's flag at half mast in honor of this great British sailor.

Meanwhile, ships of the Atlantic fleet have slipped out of Brest harbour and have ravaged the British Channel Fleet.

Victories on Land

The French army has also had a sucessful month. Forces under the personal command of General Bonaparte captured the city of Alexandria, while the Army of Italy has taken Rome by storm. Due to the current massive expansion of the army more victories are expected in the near future...

------------------

Grothgar, I started the game using the multi-player events. Was this correct, or did you really want me to load the events for the neutral player?

Grothgar · April 21, 2002, 11:41

Oops, yeah lets do this Multiplayer game on the multiplayer settings

PRUSSIAN VICTORIES ON LAND AND SEA!!!

Prussia also had a succesful month under the enlightened leadership of Fredrick Willhelm III, but first.

Great Admiral Nelson Dead

The prussian nobility today led a tribute in honour of the great Admiral Nelson. It is a pity that the trials of war should bring the death of such a noble sailor fighting for what his nation believes in.

Duchy of Saxony Incorporated into Prussian Empire

In a remarkably easy fight, in which the duchy soldiers seemed to just surrender, Prussia took back what it was owed. The reunification of the German Empire has started well said one senior figure in the army. The Saxony soldiers were not executed but welcomed as returning brothers and they were armed and have marched out of berlin, where they finnished taking vows of service, ready to fight for their new home.

Prince Of Baden Killed, The Vasa Sunk!!!

In two stunning military victories, in two seperate theatres and infact in two seperate areas of our armed forces, the Prince of Baden was killed as he led a force to relieve Leipzig. However he did not know that the Duchy had been incorporated peacefully and was shocked when the first shot by the new Saxon artillery blew him out of his saddle, he died later in a field hospital. We have lost too many great leaders this month.
Also while out on patrol the 2 frigates that made up our naval forces were attacked by the Scandinavian vessel The Vasa and its escorting frigate. In a brilliant manuver, which although costing our fleet one frigate, the two frigates encircled and totally destroyed the Vasa. Our enemies would have you beleive that it was sunk after it had surrendered but these things musnt be believed. It was heavily damaged and was offered the chance to surrender but it declined.

Nations of Europe Politely Warned

The Nations of europe were politely warned that the Prussian empire desires the reunification on the German speaking peoples of europe and will not be stopped. It is asked that the nations of europe recognize our claims to the cities of Hamburg and Frankfurt. This warning of course does not extend to Russia which will be explained in the next passage...

Russo-Prussian Alliance Formed!!!

This month in the border city of Kronstadt, which could have been a flashpoint to a war with russia at some time, the ambassadors of the Prussian and Russian nations emerged arm in arm with beaming smiles and announced to the shocked world that from now on these two nations would not be feuding nations which held back their growth but friends in the international community. The alliance is thought to include a clause where each nation will come to the aid of the other if attacked.

Save attached. Map coming on next post

Grothgar · April 21, 2002, 11:44

And the map, you know its great to get 2 posts for one thing

Pap1723 · April 21, 2002, 18:46

Not a lot to report from the British front...

Pap

Soundwave · April 21, 2002, 19:02

Not much...

Alliance with Prussia, war on neutrals.

Case · April 22, 2002, 07:00

Jimmy, check your PM's before you play your turn.

Soundwave · April 22, 2002, 16:07

Sorry guys you'll have to get a new Russia, coz i have to leave this thread.

Grothgar · April 22, 2002, 18:20

Ok, may i ask why? But anyway we need a new russia, and hopefully one that is well disposed towards prussian agression

sas · April 22, 2002, 20:41

Peace Treaty
Today a historic peace treaty has been signed by the great leaders of Austria and France. In return for certain concessions Austria has agreed to respect Frances' claim to the Greater Italian peninsula and Munich. The concessions agreed upon will be revealed at a later date.

Warning to Ottoman Empire
We demand that the Ottoman Empire recongnize the soveirgn right of the slavic peoples to self rule. If the turks do not meet this demand within one month the mighty armies of the Austrian nation will liberate them by force. (I know that the turks are AI, but I thought this sounded good)

Case · April 23, 2002, 02:21

Peace with Austria Welcomed

The French government has been delighted to sign a peace treaty with the great and noble nation of Austria. The conditions of the treaty are expected to prove very benefical to both nations.

More victories at sea

The French Navy has completed another sucessful month. Fleet intelligence belives that French ships have sunk no less then 3 British ships of the line and 3 frigates. In addition, a British convoy was slaughtered outside London by a Belgian ship of the line.

Case · April 23, 2002, 02:25

and here's the file:

Grothgar · April 23, 2002, 14:00

FRANKFURT FALLS!!!

This month the city of Frankfurt, sanse Prince Baden as revealed last month, capitulated to the victorious prussian forces. While there was no orgy of rape or pillaging, as personally requested by His Highness Willhelm III, the central bank was robbed of all their assets. This was immediately sent to Berlin where it was distributed among the armed forces. Also the fall of frankfurt seems to have struck a cord with the recently welcomed Duchy of Saxony and another regiment has signed up for the Prussian army.

NEW LEADERSHIP IN RUSSIA!!!

The Prussian government cordially welcomes the new government in russia. It is hoped among most circles that this new government will keep the promises of the old and commit to the alliance whole heartedly.

Also in another border skirmish, french troops were sighted crossing the new prussian border. While this government understands that the border has been changing rapidly in recent months they ask them to withdraw under pain of death.

Tzar Alexander voes to "rid" the Black sea of heathens.

Russia continues to improve its economic situation. The Tzar wishes to extend a hand of peace to its neighbours in the west. Perhaps trade can be of mutual benefit to all of us.

Jimmywax · April 23, 2002, 19:17

Balkans Invaded
No cities have been taken as of yet, but the heights surrounding Sarejevo have been occupied and the city is on the brink of capitulation. Bucharest has also been marched on and surrounded except for a corridor to the south. This corridor will soon be closed though and the city will undoubtedly fall with the month.

Case · April 23, 2002, 20:26

France Attacks in All Directions!

The French armed forces have had another sucessful month against the so called 'Neutral' Alliance. The Army of the Rhine has easily captured Baden, the Army of Italy has secured Naples and the Army of the Pyrenees has invaded Northern Spain and captured Barcelona.

Prussian's told to get their eyes fixed

The French government has respectfully reminded the Prussian high command that there is no French unit in existance called the "3rd Berlin Ulan Regiment" which appears to be the only mounted unit near the Rhine.

Grothgar · April 23, 2002, 20:50

HAMBURG FALLS!!!

In their third succesive month the prussian armies have taken away from the german coilition another city, which by birthright, belongs to the prussian empire. This month it was Hamburg which surrendered, although not without a heavy bombardment, and joined the fold of the growing german empire. The eyes of the prussian nation are towards the north now and the city of Kopenhagen beckons them. The Prussian Empire hereby lays claim to the city of Kobenhagen, because with its large german population, and the need for Lebensraum , the city is right for the empire.

FRENCH TROOPS AGAIN SPOTTED OVER BORDER!!!

Once again french troops were spotted inside the prussian border. Again the empire understands how in the rapid Blitzkrieg the french forces, slow as they are, may have got left behind. The Empire again re-iterates its threat of capital punnishment to any french troops caught within its borders!!!
