GERMAN ADVANCE CONTINUES

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?

[Palaiologos]

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.

[Galvatron]

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

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.

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!

[Historical Atze]

The French have bigger Problems than to attack a neutral state ... So I think ... I will be fine ... We'll see.

[Nilat]

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

[Galvatron]

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.

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]

Well, I wouldnt call an ottoman a problem

germany is a pretty bad problem.. Austria-Hungary, he'll never do a counter-attack so its not a BIG problem. But you must NEVER forget the French navy, that will make "mush"

[Historical Atze]

The day you make me ... whatever a mush is ... I will eat my mouse. Not that you are no excellent civplayer ... you certainly are, not that you have no great army ... you certainly have ... the problem is ... you got other problems ... nearer to you ... they are called germany, austria and turkey ... ... you ... know

[Nilat]

Well, stay neutral then... Cause IF you attack the allies, we will make you mush!

[Historical Atze]

Possible ... but I have my own opinion about what to do

[Nilat]

You could get more cities and respect when you start getting austria-hungarian cities!

[Historical Atze]

Surrender normally costs something, yet I am not paying anything.

[Nilat]

Its obvious that they will accept!! You could take Austrian-Hungarian cities in a while (Croatia), and now you "surrender"?

[Historical Atze]
