You are funny

...
yet, I do not believe in Allah ... not the Muslim Allah. As I am a Protestant myself and as I play the good Roman Catholic King of Italy and the even better Roman Catholic Italy I believe in God.
Should he order an attack on the middle powers then all Italy would rise up to fight God's enemies.
But if this should ever happen ... you wouldn't be the one to inform me of God's will

Yet, why doesn't Palaiologos post anything? I want to know how he will act in the future. Italy's neutral status depends on the will of the German high command to withdraw its troops.

Nilat · November 16, 2003, 02:53

ok: In your Gods name, attack these unholy beasts called Germans and Austria-Hungarians!

You Know what? I think they're dead, I ordered my troops to shoot on every shitty german corpse they could see, on the head, while the Germans were crying for mercy.

*Evil Music Plays*

Muahahahaahahahahahaah

Nilat · November 16, 2003, 06:03

Well ... ask yourself, did Italy fight wars? Since when does it exist? In todays form (slightly changed though) it exists since ca. 1860 ... since then it fought 2 real wars: WW1 and WW2 and as you might now, WW1 was won ... just as a hint

Italy wins WWI? I doubt that Italy ever wins anything. This was the best joke I've ever heard. I don't want to be offensive, since I lived many years there and I really like the lifestyle there but hey the Italians would be the last one I would consultant if I would need allies to fight a war. The truth is the following:

Without the French, the Italians would not even be a country on their own. The Austrians would have smashed them if not France entered the war of 1859. In my opinion a country that isn't even able to become country on their own can hardly be called a nation.

Than up to the part of the WW's:

You can hardly call Italy a winner. They just waited till it would be clear who is winning, and played both factions against each other to get the most out of it, instead of helping their allies, which would have been a honourable movement. And again the Italians where unable to do anything on their own: The lost almost any battle against the Austrians and they would have been totally defeated without the help of their allies. The Italians started countless Isonzo-battles (forgot the exact number but I think around 12 or so) and LOST almost all of them. This is an accomplishment

No other country ever come close to this. I think of the Italian policit like this: They jump on one side and look how’s going, well you can always take the other one if things going bad. They really did nothing for their allies, but act like they where the big winners when everything was over and the peace-conference began.

And directly up to the Second part:
Again they waited if the Germans would be able to defeat the French and when it became clear they immediately jumped on their side, I'm 100% sure the Italians would not have hesitated to join the Allied side should the French have defeated the German invasion-force.
And again they changed side, all it took was a small invasion in Sicily and the Italians lost everything and ran away, they where even unable to defend their own country, the Germans must have to do it. In the end, Italy declared war on Germany and joined the Allies, so practically they have "won" both wars

This was a short description of Italian accomplishment in the filed of war. But hey as I said before, I lived many years in Florence and it's really a good place to live. So many bars, discos and nice and happy people you won't find anywhere else. They just aren't good fighters but well you can't be good everywhere you just have to set priorities

Palaiologos · November 17, 2003, 10:26

The average Italian simply doesn't have "warrior stuff" in him.

We kicked their ass in WW2, and they managed to get a hard time from the spear wielding Aethiopians!

In all the Italian man may be a lover, a politician, a scientist but he sure isn't a warrior.

PBEM:

Germany WILL comply with Italian terms.

FiGu can you be more specific about those 7 units killed?

Nilat · November 17, 2003, 10:32

I agree, the Italians arent warriors..

Historical Atze · November 17, 2003, 13:37

Well, I don't have the ambition nor the time to defend Italy. My intention is to play a game. Now I could discuss with Galvatron about Italy winning both wars or losing both or winning one and losing the other. I am just too wearys right now ... maybe later

!

All I say is this. Long live this day, it brought peace to Italy and the possibility to gain via trade.

And amazingly enough the demoralised and colapsing French army managed to defeat the Italians in Marseiles.

Pathetic.

Historical Atze · November 19, 2003, 19:33

Whose turn is it?

Nilat · November 20, 2003, 01:01

Mine, you'll get it soon. very busy atm

Nilat · November 20, 2003, 01:10

German army under ottoman control has been destroyed south of Bucuresti. A ottoman army was in the stack too. A ottoman artillery was annihilated east of Sofia.

Some German army divisions were killed..

Galvatron · November 21, 2003, 17:18

Killed waves and waves and waves of Russians

It's a shame how low the Zar must value the live of this soldiers, his own countrymen as he always orders them to storm forward into the fire of the well trained Austrian soldiers.

We're sure the Russians will discover sooner or later the true evil nature of the Zar and will rebel and throw down the Autocrat dictatorship (Commie rev anyone

)

Well, in a way, that´s true...

Steph:
Did you include commands in the events file that recreate the 1917 revolution?

Palaiologos · November 21, 2003, 17:52

It is triggered by the fall of Smolensk to the Germans.

BTW steph i checked your events file and it seems that the way you have currently designed it Red rebel units will be created EVERY turn after the 1917 rev is triggered.

You see units created by techs(such as the Red revolution tech) appear every turn thereafter, unless the Just Once trigger is set.

Which would be okay actually if you hadn't included the respawing of Red army units when they got killed.

It will simply create an overflow of red insurgents.

RUSSIAN FORCES HAVE RETREATED FROM KOENIGSBURG!

The sentries of the 7th infantry division defending the north east of the city couldn't believe their eyes this morning!

Apparently the Slavs had packed up and left!
Immediately a telegram was sent to the garrison of Koenigsburg informing them of the situation.

A retreating Russian division was shelled and routed.
Despite this "victory" the Ober Kommand is still not convinced that this not yet another Russian trick.

WESTERN FRONT:

The city of Nantes was blasted out of existance.
The total destruction of newly formed Army Group A last month(more than 110.000 men!) had infuriated the troops.
No citizen was spared from the German wrath. Male citizens were executed and many were buried alive. Local french women in an effort to save their lives threw
themselves at the feet of their conquerors. As ordered by their officers, the men used them and then toshed the wenches to the sea for being unethical.

On other news:

A great french armada was spotted off the coasts of France. The Kriegsmarine is bracing itself for yet another showdown with the allied fleets.

Palaiologos · November 22, 2003, 06:55

F_uck!

I forgot to move one unit from Milano!

Terribly sorry.
Don't download the turn, i'll try to remedy the problem.

Palaiologos · November 22, 2003, 06:59

Bugger!

The only way possible was to disband the unit. Anyway i guess i should have been more carefull.

Its okay to download the turn now.

Historical Atze · November 22, 2003, 08:48

This is the true way to honour peace. This action won't be forgotten by Italy and has certainly improved our relation. Yet the behaviour of the warring nations Germany in particular and their troops at the front is horrible to every civilized being.
Even officers have no Code of Conduct any more. This is a tragedy.

jim panse · November 22, 2003, 12:09

Nothing happened this month. We expect a Russian offensive against Sofia and the loss of Kuwait to the ANZACs (I received your PM Pericles but I can´t do anything about it, sorry)

I´ll be back
