Actually to your honour you are the only ally that conducts offensive operations. The Frenchies just sit in their trenches waiting.

And if you think the capture of Koenigsburg is hard try fighting a two front war with enemies that each one outnumbers you 2:1!

It makes me feel better

Its very hard to attack anywhere without a navy or any bomber only with artillery and crap infantry and VERY crap cavalry.

You are doing a great job I have to say!

Sure.

Anyone?! Russia too?

Nilat · September 15, 2003, 16:06

Palaiologos, why wont you fight like a man!

And Isnt the zeppelin a only German unit cause It has the german cross on the health bar thingy?

Nilat · September 16, 2003, 00:13

I noticed that the Zeppelin should be ONLY german. We cant research it!!

JMarks · September 16, 2003, 00:47

May I ask, ever so humbly, for a map?

Paweese?

Nilat · September 16, 2003, 09:51

German front
Nothing much happened. No major attacks happened

Austo-Hungarian front
One Austrian army unit was killed and something unidentified (It was a stack) was destroyed.
Russian army is advancing

Ottoman front
No battles this month aginats the Ottomans. Russians advance...

Palaiologos · September 18, 2003, 10:52

Stalin dude i have already given the zep tech to austrians and Ottomans alike and jim panse didn't complain about it so i guess it should be a free for all tech(for germany's allies that is).

Nilat · September 18, 2003, 12:06

That means I should be allowed to have English planes!

(BUMP)

Palaiologos · September 18, 2003, 12:26

Well, i don't see why Russian pilots shouldn't be able to fly aeroplanes based on English designs.

Anyway if Jim has a different opinion he should say so.

As for the map Mr JMarks has asked i will post one on my turn.

jim panse · September 20, 2003, 05:54

Dudes, I will be away for one week (September 22 to 29) and I ask you, Pericles to control my fellow citizens (Turkey). I will depart on Monday, so I will write you an email with some ideas if you agree on controlling Turkey for a week.

Palaiologos · September 20, 2003, 06:18

I agree, but there is a chance that i too wil depart on Monday for a week!

The universities are curently on stike here starting from Monday and nobody knows when it will be called off.They usually go on strike for weeks untill the goverment satisfies their excessive demands, but elections are coming up....

But if things proceed normally then i will play your turn.

P.S for the uncomprehending, my university is 200km from my home city, so when there are lessons to attend to i spend the whole week away from home.

Nilat · September 20, 2003, 08:20

Btw, here the hell is Galvatron!!?

Palaiologos · September 20, 2003, 09:24

He is propably indulging in a wave of trance and techno...

Palaiologos · September 20, 2003, 09:42

I have asked this before but...

Why does the Deutschand armee wonder get obsolete by the Total war effort tech?

Is it a mistake?

Nilat · September 20, 2003, 09:43

OR galvatron might be sleeping in a bush after a wave of techno (with some random women of course

)

Palaiologos · September 20, 2003, 19:21

And his wallet gone...

Jup, that's exactly what I did. Yesterday there was a huuge trance party with (!!)20(!!) top DJ's

Wohoo, dance from 8 in the evening till 9 in the morning. Alot of women, dance and alc. A real MUST have event. 20 Euro entrance and it's worth the money. I can fully recommend such MEGA events. If you have one in your country don't hesitate take the chance and*Dance to Trance*PARTY-PARTY-PARTY

Palaiologos · September 21, 2003, 13:45

I hope Jim gets this on time....

Will post a description later.

Palaiologos · September 21, 2003, 15:59

Ministry of war:

The war ship "Prince Eugene" continued its frenzied assault upon the RN sinking two more British ships; The dreadnaught "Duke of Malborau" and the old battleship "Oscar".
Both ships were operating with malfunctioning engines as they strived to reach London.

Meanwhile near Paris.....

The first German shells fell into the city!Panic striken french citizens flooded the streets as their army's invincibility propaganda faded away!
The French 6th Colonial division defending the heights outside Paris and supported by MGs was annihilated by advancing German troops.
Paris is now officialy under siege.

Foreign policy:

The goodwill of the Kaiser was aptly demonstrated as the 14th infantry division was transfered to Ottoman control to aid operations in the Balkans.Further aid was proposed but rejected by the Turks.
The Austrians too got their share of Germam generosity as the 8th lower Saxon division along with a military mission to instruct the new battlefield thoeries of mobile warfare reached Vienna on february the 19th.

The German ambasauder in Vienna, von Birhoff, however expressed the Kaiser's displeasure of the Ottoman-Austrian forces failure to capture Beligrad.

Palaiologos · September 21, 2003, 17:44

BTW what are we going to do with Jim's turn?
I mean a week is not such a long time to wait, we waited 5 days for Galvatron's turn and i know that Jim would prefer to play the turn himself.

But if people really would like to get this game along i'll play it.Depends really on what the rest of the players want i suppose.

Oh, and here is the map Mr Jmarks asked.Would you like a more zoomed in map?

I think he was talking about this kind of maps...
This one is a the struggle for europe ww2 map; someone should modify the borders and repaint it appropiately.

Palaiologos · September 21, 2003, 18:25

Ahh...........

It helps being a PBEM veteran, academia doesn'it?

I'll see what i can do.

jim panse · September 21, 2003, 19:22

Well, I am going to leave at 1.40 pm monday, september 22. So I am posting my turn now. Cetinje captured, nothing else happened.

@ all: As I am returning on September 29, I will pm you my thoughts and ideas, Pericles. Have a nice week, see you in a week.

Palaiologos · September 21, 2003, 20:14

Upon request by the foreign press the Ober Kommand has decided to release the German General staff's map.

Brown are the contested areas, what we might call "front". By lighter shades are the occupied territories of the respective nations.
Arrows show the respective offensive operations.

Italy, Russia, Serbia, Rommania, Greece,England and France are set against Germany, Austria and Turkey and Bulgaria.

Assesment of the strategic situation by the German General staff follows.

Western front:
The German army continiously gains ground despite heavy looses.Paris is under siege. Belgium, Holland, Luxemburg occupied by German forces. Verdun and Le havre captured from the French.
A major breakthrough still denied though to the German army by the tenacious French.

The Channel:After the heavy defeat at Antwerpen the Kriegsmarine has counterattacked and fought the RN to a bloody draw.No major operations since january.

Balkans:

The only territory still in Serbian hands is the area around Belgrade. Turks and Bulgars hold Montenegro and northern Macedonia, while Austrians are aproaching from Croatia.
A German expeditionary force has been sent to assist.

Greece, under threat of invasion by the French navy, has joined the Entente.

Italy:

Following a treacherous attack by the Italian army the Austro-German forces responded by invading the Italian penisula. The attacking Italian forces were surounded and annihilated by the Austrians and now northern italy is under continious Zeppelin bombardment.

Eastern front(Poland, Prussia):

Everywhere the Russians are on the offensive but without much success. The German army is preparing to counterattack.

Silesia, Caucasus:

Russians have taken large chunks of territory from the Austrians and have held them against counterattacks.The Austrian heartland is threatened.
In the Caucasus the Turks are trying to check the Russian advance.

Mediteranean:

Following the Italian declaration of war Turkish forces have seized Rhodes.
The French fleet has made its appearance by attacking the Turkish coastlines.

Egypt:

Ottoman advance checked by the British.

Africa:

No news have arrived from that front at this point. Rumour has it that German colonists routed British colonial forces, but remain as yet uncorfimed.
