World War One PBEM Playtest

[Nilat]

have you noticed palaiologos, that you cant get cities very easily from me!!

But im still very concerned...

[Palaiologos]

FRANCE:

Fighting in the western front flared up again as the last French possitions outside Paris were finally overun.

Two divisions under General Mansau surrendered to Field marshal's Stauser's XII Corps early today and the German army promptly occupied their possitions.

The siege of Paris continues as the Imperial forces create a steel ring around the doomed city.

Zeppelin squadrons commenced bombing of Nantes.


General staff released casuality figures for march: 1 division and two artillery brigades removed from the German order of Battle.Several were badly damaged.


EASTERN FRONT:

The garisson in Koenigsburg still defies the slavic hordes.A spirited counter offensive resulted in the russians loosing more than 56.000 men from three divisions.

Unfortunately the defences of Riga proved too tough for the Kriegsmarine to crack.


ITALY:

The bombardment of Italian cities was ceased temporalily in a show of good will by the Kaiser.The high command is confident that the war can be ended by political means.



............... THE BERLINER..............


A daring raid was executed yesterday by our daring pilots! Captain Lumberg in command of the Airship "Bavaria", against all odds, bombed the London harbour, and HMS "Rupert" was sunk with all her crew on board!

More than 2500 English sailors perished in the raid!Our man in London reports that several british crewmen are still trapped under the wreckage of "Rupert". Such a horrible and agonizing death is unfit for men in uniform.Despite wearing enemy colours, our hopes are with them.May the lord protect them....

The general staff has made no comments for this astounding success, but Field Marshall Moltke was spotted in jubilant mood!


................................

FOREIGN MINISTRY:

Another scientific delegation has arrived in Constantinople sharing all of Germany's technological achievements.
Unfortunately the same delegation was rejected in Vienna.






I will not play Jim panse's turn, since he'll be back in a few days anyway.

And i think we owe an answer to Mr Atze.


P.SThanks Galv for playing your turn fast enough
P.S2 As agreed i have not placed Zeppelins on my ships.And the airship that attacked London didn't block its sea access.That wasn't part of the deal, but what the hell.Consider it a bonus.

[Nilat]

Galvatron, why wont you just look at the lovely chunk I have taken from you

[FiGu]

lol, i had only a mg nest there, i expected that.

[Galvatron]

BELGRAD CAPTURED

Jeahh, wohoo we did it, we did it, Austria rolls over opposition. Today our glorious Artillery division supported the infantry storm with precisely fire and afterwards divisions of divisions, hoards of hoards stormed the city. Now the Serbs see the result of their actions against Austria. We punished them and now we will institute a governor to bring law and order back to the backward serbs. They will enjoy the prosperity of the great and magnificent Austrian Empire.

!Wohooo!Party

Wanna destroy the zeppelins? build planes to shoot them down!!!!

Ahh... a soul mate





Now as far Atze is concerned i vote that he takes control of italy.Afterall FiGu controlled the italians in the first place cause there were no other players available.
And the first turn was played by the AI anyway!

Now that another fellow has expressed his interest, i think FiGu should be a good gentleman and hand over control.

[Historical Atze]

Just as an information: I am off now, going to the drinks . Tomorrow I want a decision , do you want an independent Italy playing an independent role among Europes Powers, then vote for Atze

[academia]

Theoritically you could invest in air technologies, produce all the latest warplanes, that can actually shoot zeppelins, and attck in numbers in case some MG or infantry lies under them.

I couldn´t agree more with you.
Wanna destroy the zeppelins? build planes to shoot them down!!!!

Well it would be very unrealistic if a country declares war and then in 3 months they decide to fight with its enemies..

I didn't, i guessed

[Historical Atze]

Ok, reloading a turn is a no-no in a Multiplayergame.
Once a week ... well in the PBEMs on the German Webring Forum they curse you if you don't play at least three times a week ... so that shouldn't be a prob.

I will stay with the allied cause ... at least for some time, I have to check the situation ... in spite of having played the scen before (maybe not this version) and conquered half europe on deity ... but well, Singleplayer is easy .

You play with *.net, not *.hot ... anything except Ctrl-N i need to know about this? (Since German Webring plays its PBEMs on *.hot)

Ah, I forgot, I didn't read anywhere that FiGu allowed me to play Italy, does he?

Maybe I'll come up with some questions later, but for now it's this last one ... you also exchange saves only via the forum, not via EMail ... just making sure ... .

Thats a bunch of BS if you ask me.

hmm.. about italy.. i wouldn't really like to be backstabbed. and to waste naval resources on Italy.... so i don't really know...

If these are the only reasons then i say that if Atze promises not to backstab you for some turns at least(if he backstabs you at all) and that he plays his turns at least once a week he is allowed to join.

And if he doesn't reload his turns.

[FiGu]

Allies releases a map of europe..


FRANCE:

The Situation is calm..

ITALY:
Zeppelin Bombings made by Germany and Austria

AUSTRIA:
Russia has created a real hard pressure on the crumbling empire, with Italy preparing to show its true fist.

OTTOMAN:
The situation has grown worse for the Ottoman Army, as the french navy begun bombarding the Ottoman Cities, a allied invasion is expected by the ottomans.

GERMANY:
Mostly overwhelmed by Russia in Ground, but rules the seas there. With Russians standing on the ports of Königsburgh, the morale stays low on this front.

ENGLAND:
Suffered much industrial casaulties when the fast invasion by germany was made, which was overwhelmed by British Forces. The Royal Navy proved to be effective in the bombings on the German Port cities, destroying the whole navy there.

Preposterous!
Not only the Reich is ready to protect its allies, but also the French navy is currently preoccupied with bombarding turkey.

Moreover the Italians have a pretty large navy themselves.
