[The ANZAC]

Chancellor von Karreras has demanded the free passage of German Armored Cruisers which are literally being "held hostage" by Russian and British ships off Gotenborg. Additionally, he has added that until its release, Russian ships that have tresspassed into German waters around the new province of Denmark will be held back.

How can you make a comparision like that? The Russian Navy blocks one cruiser group and you cut off our whole fleet!! Out of good will, we will withdraw one group to allow the cruiser to leave, if you withdraw as well.

Russian units have also been spotted outside Poznan and Lemberg and Germany DEMANDS that these units be WITHDRAWN without any further delay from the German border. In fact, these units are INVADING German territory and they WILL be withdrawn.

You are mistaken. We did not move off the German coast.

Denmark has been officially annexed to the German Reich after the capitulation of Copenhaguen and the approval of the Reichstag. It is now a new province of the Reich and as such shall continue to prosper under the rule of Berlin.

We do not acknowledge the German occupation of Denmark. They purposely blocked our fleet so we could not help the Danes!

This is all German propoganda!

From the British Foreign Office:

We will support the Russian Empire by any means, and also does not recognise German Soverginity over Denmark, or Belgium/Holland... The British Empire asks the Germans to Leave theres areas immediately.

Russian cavalry has entered the city sphere several German cities along several points in the front, we demand their withdrawal.

[The ANZAC]

We will withdraw as soon as the German Fleet does.

Small question...

Now that it really seems that Spain will stay under the heel of the dreaded General AI (that is, until the Entente forces liberate the country ), I have a question: is it allowed to have diplomatic contacts with Spain??

Like, for example, to try to trade for techs??

Clarification

Hello again. In case you weren't aware of it, I'm the designer of this scenario. If someone could please fill me in about how this is working, I would certainly appreciate it. All I'm really curious about is the types of troops/ships/units that are currently in use. If these are "state secrets," then please feel free to PM me. I know that tech trading is rampant in this scenario, but I am wondering how quickly you folks are reaching the infantry tactics tech, the various tank techs, and the dreadnought and battlecruiser techs.

Thanks,
Exile

Hi Exile,

Great scenario you did there!!

Actually, if I didn't answer to your "military tech" question, it's because... the Turks are not really the most advanced...

So, let's say I've got some Conscripts, some Cavalry and some Field Artillery. For the rest... not yet

But I'm quite sure some of the other Nations might be able to field more modern troops... Let them come and meet our mighty scimitars...

[Dr. Nick]

Germany wants U-boats and Type XXIs!

[Soundwave]

Russia its your turn!?

or it it France?

[The ANZAC]

I'll play forgot about Spain dropping out.

Russian Victories in Rumania

The Russians have had a stunnin victory in Rumania this week. They captured Iasi and Galati and have secured the surrounding areas. Bucharest is the next objective and the Communist guerillas are starting to flee. Unfortunately, Iasi was destroyed in order to flush out the partisans. It will be rebuilt as soon as possible.

La Repubblica

Spanish War continues

Although there were no encounters with the Spanish navy as spectacular as the Battle of Palma this month, Italian enthusiasm for the war to overthrow the brutal dictator General AI remained high. The Prime Minister Wintero de Fritzi hinted today that soon Italian troops may join the French Army in prosecuting the war on the Iberian penninsular.

The Battle of Palma commemorated

A new medal has been created for distribution among the brave sailors, dead or alive, who took part in the Battle of Palma: the Order of the Middle Sea. In addition, the captain of the battleship Garibaldi, which was sunk during the action, has posthumously recieved the highest honour an Italian can recieve, the new Decoration of the Purple Cloth, an allusion to Rome's past glory.

A ceremony in which the dead as well as survivors of the battle recieved tribute from the Italian people and government took place today in Rome.

Le Monde

War with Spain continues

This month saw the consolidation of French control of Barcelona, and the dispatch of a large number of warships south. These are expected to bombard other major cities on the Spanish coastline that have been identified as strongholds of General AI.

Premier Winterfritz today refused to comment on rumours that Italian peacekeepers would soon join the French contingent on the Iberian mainland. However, he did say that the French Second Army, under General Jaroque, was not planning to extend its zone of control further inland just yet. 'The rest of the Spanish coast-line will be subdued before we contemplate venturing into the interior,' he said today.

However, with the might of the British, French, Italian and Russian navies behind it, this first phase of the operation should shortly be complete, meaning that the inhabitants of inland Spain do not have long to wait for liberation from the tyrant, General AI.

General releases statement

That same General AI today sent a comminique to major European leaders, stating his firm if foolhardy defiance towards the Entente. 'I will continue to build stupid things in my cities, and I will throw my units at heavily fortified positions until I have no units left,' the statement read. The General finished by saying that he would no longer be taking messages from the rest of Europe, concluding with 'Do you take us for fools? We'd no sooner turn our back on you than find a knife there! Now begone!'

Fez falls after six month siege

While France has entered one war, she has finished another. The Third Army under General Foulon attacked the Moroccan capital of Fez with artillery and native troops. The defenders, starved after a gruelling six month siege, were routed and the tricolour soon flew from the former sultan's palace.

However, local Berbers have vowed to continue the fight against the French and have taken to the hills. Anticipating further unrest in the region, the Third Army remains on active status.

And heres a new map, to show the not inconsiderable territorial changes since the last one...

General AI in trouble...

The Grand Vizier today quoted the Sultan:

"This rabbid dog, the so called General AI, will soon regret to have bitten the benevolent hand of the Entente! He is rushing towards his own deserved doom..."

Grand Vizier Cyrion then declared that an Ambassador will be dispatched to the General AI to try to bring him to his senses, if he has any...".
