World War One PBEM Playtest - Page 16

Ah you guys are soo damn fast. Last time I looked Academia just played his turn now you are again one turn round I'm impressed what a speed wohooo.

On the matter of Italy:

Well Atze is a clever man. He knows that war is always a hurtful waste of resources. War costs money and above all lives. These things can be used for more productive things like art and culture. Fortunately the Italians have seen this point. The Centrals would follow this path too but they were pressed into this war by the warmongering entente. They are nothing else than puppets in Russia's hand which is keen in destroying Austria and put everything under their joke. Unfortunately the governments of the UK and France do not see the truth and blindly follow Russia into a century full of darkness.

Well history will remember your wrongdoings.

And Austria will not sit idle and watch as the big monster in the east is trying to dismantle us, we will prevail and every outright gentleman out there will fight alongside us against this huge injustice. The whole mankind should raise and stand up to defend innocent people against a monster which has only one goal: destruction. Do not let Europe fall under the dark light of Autocrat Russia.

Thank you for your attention, now I've rant enough

Oh and of course will play my turn tonight

Nilat · October 30, 2003, 05:33

Oh I forgot to tell you guys, first russian troops are going to Budapest! (They are in the city limits..)

Historical Atze · October 30, 2003, 15:40

The French have bigger Problems than to attack a neutral state

... So I think ... I will be fine ... We'll see.

Art and culture ... oh well, I am not naive enough to spend my resources on things i cannot use if I am backstabbed

... Every assault on Italy will cause the aggressor to be annihilated!

Galvatron · October 31, 2003, 16:53

Ok now it is tonight and therefore I played my turn

Did some counterattacking. Well as I said before the Centrals do not even think of attacking Italy, we honour the Three Powers pact, even as Italy had cancelled it and we honour your decision of neutrality but we would like to warn you of French aggression. Italy was always an important point for France they always tried to get Italian cities through out the history. But you will always find a helping hand in the Centrals.

Well now happy weekend, hope you will all PARTY PARTY and PARTY.

Ok and last a little poll:
When do you usually go out and have fun: On Friday, Saturday or both (like me)? I'm interested with how many party guys I'm in this PBEM

Palaiologos · October 31, 2003, 17:29

This is a time for war, not party!

But seriously Galv it depends. Partying costs money, a factor that i personally must take into account. And it is not like everyweekend is free time.

Most of the time my idea of having fun is playing basketball with my mates. So i guess i am not a party guy at all.

GERMAN WAR NEWS:

The port city of Brest fell today to the advancing German troops of the 6th artillery division.
Minimal German casualties. The French 9th and 5th divisions were obliterated in the ruins of the city as the Kriegsmarine fired more than 60.000 shells on it.

Le Havre was retaken from the Russian expeditionary force by an infantry assault. All Russian forces were eliminated.

HMS "Irresistible" was sunk outright by a succesfull volley from the Imperial dreadnaught "Kaiser Pericles". Apparently the English vessel was already heavily damaged from its assault on Le Havre.
The patroling Ship of the line "Siegfried" encountered and disabled the French Cruiser "Vercicentorix" west of Brest.

In the Eastern front after a Russian attack on Posen was repulsed, German forces were given orders to reorganize and regroup.

No serious German casualties reported.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS:

The Italian declaration of neutrality has caused waves of enthusiasm in the German ministry. However General Ludwig ,commanding the Italian front forces, has refused to withdraw his troops untill Italian neutrality is proven. An official proclamation of Italian neutrality accompanied by the word of honour of the King should suffice.

The Austrians have rejected German military aid AGAIN because they considered it "inferior". They did accept technological aid though.

Following an appeal of the Danish goverment, German troops entered Copenhagen to restore order and root out any English influence. They were greeted with cheers by the ultra excited crowds!

Now did i play my turn fast or what?

jim panse · October 31, 2003, 21:01

hehehe, well, you played your turn fast as lightning, indeed. Though I was faster

Anyway, not too much happening this month. Obliterated some ANZACs in Port Said, trying to withstand the Russian invasion in East Anatolia.

academia · November 1, 2003, 00:05

Well, i was fast too

Nilat · November 1, 2003, 01:36

Lets see if FiGu is fast

Italy offered Peace. Is this how you thank for it? Withdraw your troops from Italian territory immediately!

Palaiologos · November 1, 2003, 07:44

Have sent a PM Mr Atze.

I will withdraw my forces from northern Italy immediately.

Palaiologos · November 1, 2003, 12:51

Isn't there a programme called Diplociv or something like that?

Can that fix the military aid "bug"?

Nilat · November 1, 2003, 14:14

YarosDip?

Palaiologos · November 1, 2003, 18:28

Yes i think thats the one. Anybody has a clue how this works?

Galvy?

Nilat · November 2, 2003, 02:37

You have it? If you dont, get it from the spanish civ site. It has a VERY good instruction manual

FiGu · November 2, 2003, 06:10

nothin much happened..

Historical Atze · November 2, 2003, 07:57

Italian Parliament and the Pope pressed the king to declare a state of Italian protection on Spain. Due to this whoever attacks our catholic brothers in Spain will find himself in a state of war with Italy.

Nilat · November 2, 2003, 09:13

This month has started very well... pretty unaggressive small victory..

Danzig and Stettin were captured without any casualties, or nearly any battles!
Russian troops arrive to the cities, noticing that there was no enemy resistance.. While troops were going from Danzig to Stettin, recon soldiers told the officers of a sturmtruppen division ahead of them.. An Artillery unit was called from Danzig to annihilate them. They were succesful..

The same week, Generals of the Posen and Königsberg front report many german machine gun, and german infantry divisions surrendering to russian troops, because their lack of food rations and water..
(Danzig and Stettin couldnt support them)

Now Russian troops have advanced for a long time, thanks for the brave Russians behind enemy line!

Little news

A german infantry unit was killed in posen and an Austrian infantry division was killed too east of Budapest.
German infantry under Ottoman command was destroyed south of Bucharest.

Palaiologos · November 2, 2003, 09:25

I lost that bet it seems.

Arrghh!!!!!

Nilat · November 2, 2003, 09:28

Dont worry, buddy! Ill never destroy MG positions in Königsberg, and Ill never get rid of those ships in the Baltic sea, because FiGu wont help (

)

(hmm... im his enemy in this PBEM, but im saying this.. I shouldnt be like this

)

Palaiologos · November 2, 2003, 10:38

You know dude your capture of Le Havre and the two cities these turn really set thing back.

Uknown to you Le Havre suported a veteran Sturmtroopen which got disbanded.

And i had rush built two artilleries in Stettin and Danzig, last turn which never got completed. Stetin also supported a sturmtroopen division which again got disbanded.

In all the great eastern offensive planned for so many months by the Ober Kommand was terminated before even being set in motion......

This is going to be a long war it seems.

Nilat · November 2, 2003, 14:19

And a MG near Posen was disbanded too

Palaiologos · November 2, 2003, 21:27

Forgot to comment:

The House of God improvement has no effect.For Germany at least. We obviously don't have the nessesary tech.

Historical Atze · November 6, 2003, 16:30

Galvatron???

Galvatron · November 6, 2003, 16:30

Yes you're talking about the Diplo-utility. It's very easy to use, just play your turn and end it as always (CTRL+C). Afterwards load the utility and post it here when you're ready. I will download it in my turn open it before I play my turn and we should be fine. Furthermore it's really perfectly described there should be no problem. And in any case if you're interested

you can have a look at the German and Italian description, they're from me.

Here's the last version:

(PS: Oh and I trust all the other people to not download the civdip-file from him, well in the end you won't see anything interesting anyway, think you can figure it out anyway what he will send me

)

Galvatron · November 6, 2003, 16:32

Aaand I will even post my turn

Nilat · November 6, 2003, 17:06

Now we will see what happens to me

Historical Atze · November 7, 2003, 11:06

Happens to you?? What should happen?

Nilat · November 7, 2003, 11:45

Something bad
