1799 - The war for Europe

[Paddy]

a napoleonic game with a few twists

4 human players - the rest AI

initially no set war agianst any particlar nation
so all set alliances to be removed

we just be europe going about its business etc

the napoleonic pbem map will have some changes

- England will give over its Portuguese holdings to Spain

- England will give over it's Naples holdings to France, Austria and the Ottoman

- Sweden will be split up between England and Prussia
thus Sweden is not a player in the game, but her land starts with two players straight up

- England gets the French Danish holdings for Amsterdam

- Settlers to be enabled

- Bombard option enabled on ships of the line
and possibly men-o-war
(opinions needed on this bombard issue, I just feel that with settlers on then we have plenty of growth / expension available)




Our nations in play order:

Russia - Czar MickeyJ

France - Prince Paddy

Britain - Lord Gunner

Ottoman - Sultan Andy


And the AI:
Austria
Spain
Prussia

Old Thread

So is the save with Mickeyj?

[Shogun Gunner]

I believe so, as is LandDownUnder and BOC

[Paddy]

he is a busy man

[Mickeyj]

Turn sent yesterday to paddy in my bulk dispatching.

[Mickeyj]

Paddy,

I resent it yesterday afternoon, let me know if you haven't received it

[Paddy]

I have it as per the email I returned to you

I will play it soon enough

no real rush as Gunner in China for a month, and mo possible access

also he would possibly still be travelling and getting settled

so all is good

[Paddy]

to war we march...


Yes France declares war on Russia


1799, to Lord Shogun, Jan 1807 AD

[Andydog]

Now there's a surprise...

Not.

[Paddy]

ahh yes well I was talking with a new consort and she fancied a little place to the east

[Mickeyj]

Any battle reports Paddy?

I'm dying to hear how my guards fought off your armies!

[Paddy]

oh sorry

ahh yes, you lost two units... and damaged 1 of mine

I think you also have another that is dameaged

my apologises, as you know, I normally do not do battle reports etc, so forgot all about doing them this time

I will be more vigilant next turn when the 3 of you have come a knocking and smashed into France now that I have left

[Mickeyj]

Paddy,

I seem to remember a discussion we had on easygoing where we decided to go for more detailed reports.

Any chance of a bit more info?

[Andydog]

Aye, we need detailed reports, as agreed previously.

We are obviously very interested to see what units attacked us.

As for Paddy not usually providing reports, I've seen him do it plenty of times before in other games. It should be nothing new.

[Paddy]

no more details - was almost a week ago... you lost some I lost some...

and battle reports Andy, currently I am in 76 games, of which these reports are only done in 1 or 3 ...

and I seem to remember inviting you both to play this game, so give over. if you can not move on this one time fair enough, lets just stop here. you guys go set up your games and play and report all the stats you want

ok?

[Andydog]

[Paddy]

glad we could get that sorted...

now shall we talk of turn speed... as in where is the Rugby game

you two suddenly got so much time on your hands... and Rugby be a game that Gunner is not in so we can move that around

even if the "All Blacks" were handing out lessons on the weekend

[Mickeyj]

[Andydog]

[Mickeyj]

I'll get onto rugby finals this weekend - things ***** busy at work at the moment!

[Paddy]

after last Saturday night here in Sydney - well weekends have been cancelled for the next 5 months

[Mickeyj]

I've started studying again and those boozy sunday are rapidly going out the window

3 British Man-o-Wars were sailing to the Austrian port of Palmi for some shore leave and military to military discussions with the local Austrian Military commander when an Ottoman Frigate appeared from a cove and tacted aggressively towards the British ships off the coast of Palmi, Austria.

A warning shot was fired... and a second....but the Turkish ship refused to change course or reduce speed. The British ships attempted to change course giving passage to the Turkish ship, however, it matched any course changes made by the British ships. When the Turkish ship opened it gun ports - it was perceived to be an act of aggression. The British ships fired in self defense and sunk the Ottoman Frigate.

The British Admirality is convinced that Turkish intelligence knew of British VIP diplomats on board and that this ship and sought to disrupt close British-Austrian ties.

Closer to the British Homeland, two Man-o-Wars engaged an Ottoman Frigate Spy Ship. This was also sunk.

During the same week, Ottoman troops in Prague opened fire on British patrols to the North of the city. British forces pursued the Ottoman troops which fled inside the city walls. As the Ottoman commander refused any discussion with the local British commander, our commander was authorized to take action against the Turks. A massive artillery bombardment was engaged combined with British cavalry assaults on Turkish positions.
