[Moker Guy]

Russia is the Best

well since im japan i guess ill get this game rolling. i think playing by emailis the only way to do this game and i think it would work out pretty good. i can make a small web site to hold the saves on and then i can post them in order on this post for the players to download and everyone can see. all i have to do is edit this post everytime i want to post the new save. ill play my turn and set up the site so it works and then post my save link here. everyone else just send your save to alein375@aol.com. after i get it ill upload it to the site and then post it here.

Well the German Reich has finished its first turn. And I decided to play rather catiously so i didn't take half of Russia as Smash claims is possible.

Captured Russian cities:
Sevastopol
Leningrad
Kalinin
Kharkov

Destroyed Russian cities:
Murmansk

Captured British cities:
Alexandria

Modest gains, but i dug in to prepare for the counter-attack. Others may snicker in disgust that i didn't take half the world on my first turn (if its even possible) but I'm being prudent and preparing for the long haul. Plus I wasn't reckless and didn't loose many units.

[GNGSpam]

You took Alexandria? You bastard...

[Zylka]

The Americans got off to a slow start and no cities have been liberated as of yet. We're currently hanging up our "loose lips sink ships" posters and having housewives collect various bits of garbage to make explosives with. Hope you boys across the Atlantic can wait a while

[OzzyKP]

Since there is quite a lot of room for cheating in this game, i want to remind everyone the standards we should abide by.

Once you open the save and start moving your troops you must play till the end and then save. There are no practice turns, or playing it out to see what kind of defence the opponent has. If you start you must finish. If you reload to get battles to go your way, or anything else that isn't completely linear and honest then its against the rules.

Obviously there is no way to really police this, so we must trust in the honor of each other.

ANything else people wish to outlaw, or remind people of feel free to do so.

an excerpt from a telegraph to empereror hito


our head of our war department has made plans to drop bubonic plague infected fleas over the russian armies by the millions, we are breeding them now and using the american and british pow's as test subjects. our war in the pacfic is going well so far. we have succeeded in destroying the american fleet and now have the yanks on the run. also our devlopment of our new bomber is going as planed and should be released early next year. our men have fought with honor emperor you have much to be proud of.

Oh what a situation im in. Darwin of Australia fallin, Alexandria of Egypt in german hands, and I havent even gotten to move yet!

But all is well, the tougher it gets, the more the british dig down...

Launched air strikes in Northern France. Besides suffering many casualties to their ill prepared Infantry divisions, We suprised the U-Boat base in Boredeaux sinking about 8 docked U-Boats.

Further, British Naval forces in conjunction with the RAF decimated the German garrison in Norway. Oslo feel to a small force of scouts, Bergen is empty, Trondenhiem is under siege, how will German respond? Can Germany respond?

Japanese attacks in the Pacific were the most disheartening. We lacked an adquate response to these assaults. Carriers controlling the South Seas have effectively grounded British Aircraft from any truly useful sorties, and the invasion of Australia makes prospects look bleek.

In Africa, the fall of Alexandria sent shockwaves through the British High Command. General Montgomery was immediatly replaced (never liked the pompous bastard) and reserves from the Middle East were called up. We feel confident about our ability to stablize that region.

And before the BBC goes off the air, we would like to send a message to our boys working on the continent

Red Dawn 21, Badger to Albotross, proceed to Checkpoint 31.

Any word from Easthaven?

How are them Ruskies doing?

[sekong]

Hi, Moker Guy,
Could you alsop put the original scn-zip on your site. The link Ozzy provided was broken. Without .scn , the sav files are meaningless. Most of Japanes troops are phalanx.

Total Anhilation is the best all out war game
