After the violent invasion of India earlier this year which resulted in the annihilation of some five divisions of India's conscript border guards, Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee addressed the Indian Parliament about the growing crisis.
"India," the Prime Minister declared, "shall not stand idly by while the dictatorial regime of General Pervez Musharraf continues to oppress the Indian people, launch blatant attacks against rightfully Indian land, and sponsor terrorist attacks against civilized nations worldwide. We are therefore resolved to defend our people, our nation, and indeed civilization itself from the barbaric regime which enslaves the Pakistani people and even now defiles rightfully Indian territory. India shall defend herself."
The Prime Minister's speech to Parliament received a standing ovation from the deputies in the Parliament, even from the normally dovish parties representing India's three hundred million Muslims. A resolution approving "defensive military operations" was then unanimously approved by the Parliament.
Within minutes of the Parliament passing the so-called defense resolution, Indian military forces launched Operation Vishnu. Indian warplanes sortied from airfields well back from the border to attack and destroy the Pakistani aircraft still circling like vultures over the positions where they had attacked and destroyed Indian border guard units. Indian armor and mechanized units, their movement made easier by the efforts of Indian combat engineering units, crossed the Indus river into the city of Lahore, smashing the Pakistani forces there and, after very heavy fighting, forcing the shattered remnants of the Pakistani Army from the city. Indian warplanes soon made swift work of the broken remnants of the last of the Pakistani Air Force and the partisan units that scrambled to the nearby hills after the city fell to the victorious Indian Army.
With Operation Vishnu still in its first month, its accomplishments are nonetheless impressive. Most Indian defense analysts believe that the entire Pakistani Air Force and the bulk of the Pakistani Army, including likely all of its armor and mechanized units, have been totally destroyed by the advancing Indian Army.
In a secret meeting held in Istanbul, the leaders of the CIS and NATO governments signed a treaty designed to curb Arab League agression. The Treaty of Istanbul commits NATO and the CIS to coordinate a millitary campaign aimed at crushing the dictatoral Arab League governments.

Iran Falls to CIS Blitz
In a lightning offencive, CIS forces have secured most of Iran. It has been confirmed that the offencive started as a low key spoiling operation, but was swiftly escalated after the poor condition of Iranian defences was discovered. CIS Armoured columns, supported by the Russian AirForce's strategic bombers, have taken most of the major Iranian cities, with Iranian forces holding out in Tabriz and Shiraz. Sailors of the Russian Indian Ocean Squadron have been given leave at the squadrons new home port of Bandar Abbas. CIS casualties have been reported as light, but partisans in the mountains behind Tehran have shot down numerous transport planes with shoulder launched missiles.

All Quiet on the Chinese Front
Due to the demands of the Iranian offencive, CIS forces have taken a defencive stance on the Chinese front. The only significant fighing was the defeat of a Chinese armoured raid near Almaty, the defeat of which cost the CIS a wing of Su-25 Frogfoots and an armoured division equipped with T-80 tanks.

I've offered China to Jerkwaterbow, but if he dosn't want them (or dosn't show up soon) then SunTzu is more then welcome to take over the Chinese

Seeing as Jerkwaterbox hasn't responded to any of the emails or PM's I've sent him over the last week, I've played his turn for him.
Pakistani forces have staged a fighting retreat, and are falling back on positions in Afganistan, which is still controlled by the Taliban who clearly cannot be defeated in the harsh Afgani terrain

While I've been playing civ2 for years, I only recently discovered that there is such a thing as PBEM. It sounds great; could someone please tell me how to do it? I desperately want to try it out, and I haven't been able to find a FAQ or something on it anywhere.
I hope I'm not interrupting your game. Thanks heaps in advance for the help. Maybe I can play a game with some of you guys in the future
