Raging Dragon PBEM

[The ANZAC]

I will withdraw, but I must have my army for defensive purposes. Your army is much more powerful than mine, but I need to keep mine for defensive purposes or I leave myself at your mercy. So I will withdraw out of China, be allowed to keep my armies, and keep South Korea. Those are my requests: if they can't be met, there will be no cease-fire.

I quite like the idea of getting rid of the RRs. However, how would we actually carry it out? I'm not parking my entire military in open terrain while it tears up RRs!

It is China's turn, still.

Of course someone outside the game would activate cheat mode, remove them, take the tech away from all players, and then make the tech unresearchable. It takes around half an hour.

You can have it your way, Prime Minister.

Harbin, Changchun, Shenyang, Kharbarovsk, Qiqihar, and Hanoi captured. Several APEC fighter squadrons downed around Nanning, and an M2 Abrahms division was almost destroyed within the city. Sendai and Mandalay terror-bombed.

[The ANZAC]

attacks countered.

APEC would like to offer the following proposal to China: we would like an end to hostilities on the condition you vacate South Korea. In return we will leave Nanning. Is that agreeable to you?

Also I noticed Darius was doing this (not that I am accusing him of anything) but what is everyone's position on the use of airfields to build "air-shields" around cities, chaining airfields together in order to build railroad improvements without having to spend the time on real RRs, and using them to boost terrain stats.

Do you all think people should be allowed to use airfields to get these advantages?

Absoflogginlutely, since taking the cities took care of the units I wanted you to disband. You can have all of Korea if you vacate Nanning.

First off I did NOT build them to shield my cities from air attack, and I did NOT use them because they're built more quickly than railroads. They're only there for the food bonuses they yield when built on hills. I think that long strings of them instead of railroads and/or making air-shields should of course be banned.

It's never been addressed on the forums, but if everyone's against the bonuses then I'll tear 'em up. I don't see how it's unfair though, since every one of us can build them. If other players didn't have the foresight to build enough engineers, that's their problem.

[The ANZAC]

agreed to: Nanning will be evacuated for all of Korea back

Also, if you weren't building the airbases to act as RRs, then why were you building a chain of them to Nanning through the forest?

[Darius871]

Meh, I guess I built a few out of laziness. Some of my 54 engineers could have built regular RR's on that grassland (they weren't on forests), I just didn't want to drag them across the whole damn country. Won't happen again if it's a problem.

[The ANZAC]

Edit: Read Darius' last post more clearly; understand now. But still, even though you could have done it using RRs, by using this way, you put less of your engineer force in harm's way. Just my two cents...

[Darius871]

Well that's the reason I said 'long' strings of them aren't ok. I knew while writing that I had built 2 or 3 through a warzone, and personally I don't think that should be against the rules.

War declared, Almaty captured!

India, according to its duties to the alliance declared war on the CIS yesterday. The city of Almaty, or Alma-Ata as it is also known, home of the founding treaty of the CIS fell to the Indian fast reaction force. Reinforcements are being sent to the Arab front aswell.
We are well aware of the symbolic significance of this act, we do not consider the people of the Commonwealth to be an enemy, still, treaties have to be honoured.

We congratulate the Arab league on the liberation of its central asian muslim brethren. Work on the railway proceeds.

We welcome Chinese trade envoys. You know, if you want the patrol removed, just ask for it(free of charge or anything).

India wishes for peace more than anything, please show restrain, everybody. We'll never reach nirvana this way!

The Anzac is next right?

[The ANZAC]

no, NATO is I think as I just went before this save here and go after China

Actaully, it's my turn I'll play it as soon as my computer comes out of the repair shop.

[Grothgar]

That would be quite the impediment to playing your turn
