November 1947: It is a time of Civil War...

PinkyGen · October 19, 2003, 13:44

The year is 1947, the United Nations General assembly hasjust voted for the partitition of Palestine in two states,one jewish and one arab. Finally, after two thousand years of exile, the jewish people will have a country again, in their own land. But the Arabs of Palestine rejected the UN plan.

A civil war begins, in which each side tries to gain ascendancy. The British declare they will withdraw by May, 1948.

I loaded the game on Deity level, and it's the modified scenario Yaroslav provided. It immediatly asked me what technology to research, and I decided on British Training. (Both British training, and it's alternative, Pioneer Spirit, need to be researched before we can proceed to other technology. British Training gives us Palmach units). In the future, it will be the responsibility of the economic minister to decide which technology we should research

As a sign of the Govvernment's popularity, We love the Prime Minister Day celebrated in Kafer Szold and Mishmar Yarden.

I ask the generals not to allow these brave Israeli's to be overrun.

Jewish Communities abroad donate 3,000 shekels.

Turn order.

COS part I (PinkyGen, but further turns to be by El Awrence) - Yes
Northern Front: (yaroslav) - not yet
Home Front: (Azazel) - not yet
South East (POTUS) - not yet
Sinai Front: (FiGu) - not yet
Immigration (Stalin II) - not yet
Defense (EmuGod) - not yet
Econ - (Arthedain) - not yet
COS part II (El Awerence) - not yet

Except for Econ and COS part II, any other minister or general may download the save and play their turn. Just post on this thread "taking the Save" when you are ready to play, and then post the file.

Each minister and general should create their own thread that focues on their specific area. On those threads detailed reports will be given of what happened, as well as discussions over future policy.

Post any questions here, since I believe some of you are new to actual Democracy games.

And can a mod please sticky this.

Everyone, we have a big problem. The Arab spies. If we don't take them out, we have no chance of winning. I was playing a bit in single player and they bribed Eilat and the northern cities in the Galilee, thereby taking over important defences I set up in single player. If we don't take out the Arab spy units, then we're just going to lose all the important defences we set up. I didn't think they would be such a big problem earlier, and I just got into the game enough to see it happen.

yaroslav · October 19, 2003, 15:59

Ok, I suggest to open threads to discuss all the fronts and other topics

conmcb25 · October 19, 2003, 16:33

Just a clarification

The Econ minister should run polls to determine the next tech we research.

So Econ minister you need to see what will be available next, tell us what those techs do and then set up a poll.

yaroslav · October 19, 2003, 16:44

In fact, I suggest to minimize research and take money...

Doh!

Anyway, yeah, Econ Minister should be creating a poll to guide tech research. PM me or AIM me if you have any questions.

Interesting idea. But how would we get technology for Palmach, IDF infantry, tanks, and even Mossad units without research? We can't even steal technology from the Arabs or the British because we don't start with Mossad units.

Ben Kenobi · October 19, 2003, 22:33

Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice initial research to fund core defenses.

Raising cash will allow us to do so.

But if we do that, we won't get those Mossad spies you are so eagre about.

And again, since this is the turn thread, can it be stickied.

A temporary sacrifice for the good of Israel. It's no good to have a horde of spies with no city defenses.

hi ,

true , thats why the initial research choices are so important (!)

we should also rush some production buildings and some units , especially in those town there is only one or no unit at all , .....

have a nice day

conmcb25 · October 20, 2003, 14:26

Mods, we ought to "Top" this while this turn is being played. When we finish this turn then "Untop" and "top" the next turn.

We did that at RF and it worked great. Thanks

yaroslav · October 20, 2003, 16:10

Topped.

conmcb25 · October 20, 2003, 16:12

Guys we should really discuss startegy elsewhere or else this thread is going to get filled with a lot of stuff and the turn will get lost in the shuffle.

Maybe we should open a Strategy thread?

yaroslav · October 20, 2003, 16:16

Ok, guys, let's use this thread to store the file and post the game turns... Let's use other threads to discuss other topics...

PinkyGen · October 23, 2003, 22:13

Why have no turns been posted? Do we need develop the "protestant" work ethic?

Dr. Nick · October 23, 2003, 22:20

*pulls out crackwhip*

Don't you all remember? Arbeit Macht Frei!

Was that in disgusting bad taste?

Dr. Nick · October 25, 2003, 10:00

*whips Front Commanders*

That's it! I'm going to start writing transfers to Eilat for you all if I don't see some progress within 48 hours!

Az · October 25, 2003, 12:10

Ok, so will Yaro do it, or must *I* do it?

Az · October 25, 2003, 12:14

Here are my moves, sir. Our forces on the coastal cities have been fortified. In the valley, there are only Kibbutzniks on the defence, and since they're not under my authority, I didn't move them.

PinkyGen · October 25, 2003, 13:12

For the last time, kibbutzniks are under your authority, since they are primarily military units.

yaroslav · October 25, 2003, 16:18

Ok, I'll move tomorrow or the day after (busy this weekend, alone in home with old relatives to take care of!) . If any other commander wants to move before me, do it!

nm, I've already made the move. Anyway, I have to keep them inside the towns, since the Palestinians are very near.

Eilat is a resort city. Transferring commanders to Eilat is just more inscentive not to play the turns. BTW, have we removed Arab spies or not? If not, we're not going to be able to hold Eilat.

If they want to keep their command and not be transferred to Eilat to serve Margaritas to real military commanders.

COME ON FRONT COMMANDERS! THERE'S NO NEED TO PLAY EACH IN TURN! JUST PLAY!

Azazel, you run your KIbutzniks if they're in your Order of Battle.

Also, when you post your turn, please updated the 'turn log':

I'll update it now, but please remember people to update it when you post the turn:

~~COS part I (PinkyGen, but further turns to be by El Awrence) - DONE~~
Northern Front: (yaroslav) - not yet
~~Home Front: (Azazel) - DONE~~
South East (POTUS) - not yet
Sinai Front: (FiGu) - not yet
Immigration (Stalin II) - not yet
Defense (EmuGod) - not yet
Econ - (Arthedain) - not yet
COS part II (El Awerence) - not yet

I only ask that ministers play after front commanders.

I think the vote is to remove the spies. Does anyone know how to remove them?

I do realize regular units can bribe, but they do it less often.

EmuGod · October 25, 2003, 23:10

All we need to do is alter the tech tree that gives that tech to make it unresearchable and then remove it from the possession of the Arab civilizations.

Not in 47' it isn't!

for the sake of historical accuracy, Eilat should've been size 1, and under jordanian control, IIRC.

yaroslav · October 27, 2003, 17:39

Akko will be conquered the next month!

No others news in the norhten front, but please, BUILD defenses!

conmcb25 · October 27, 2003, 17:48

Can you guys believe we are ACTUALLY playing a turn? Man did it take us a while to get here but we are finally there!
