Another Age of War PBEM

[winterfritz]

I'm glad you could join us, Cyrion. You're right, for a PBEM set in Europe, we're strangely lacking in European players...

Heres the updated player list.
Russians - theanzac@optonline.com
Italians - nick_dowling@hotmail.com
French - winterfritz_21@yahoo.com
Germans - m_carreras@hotmail.com
Turks - vfrache@hotmail.com
British - seanie_babes@hotmail.com
Spanish

Since the British go after the Turks and Soundwave has already played his turn, should we let the AI play the first turn of the Turks, and Cyrion can jump in during the next round? Or alternatively, would Soundwave mind playing his turn again after the Turks have played from El Awrence's saved game? Whatever suits you all the best.

Also, everyone make sure you download Anzac's updated rules.txt with the increased ship moves. And Cyrion, make sure you're using the MPevents file, not the single player events file. (I left a post on the previous page if you need info on how to change these files.) Thanks

[Soundwave]

Just let the AI do it, i have waited long enough!!

[Case]

I say that we let the AI handle this Turkish turn (there's not much that it can do wrong at this early stage) and that ANZAC move Russia.

[winterfritz]

Play on

Ok, then if no one has any problems with it Anzac can play and post his turn.

[Cyrion]

First turn

OOC

Letting the AI play the first turkish turn is fine for me (as long as you haven't taken too many ottoman cities ), so keep on playing, I'm already in the starting blocks...

[Dr. Nick]

The German ambassador to Britain has demanded an apology on behalf of The Times for its lies and slander with respect to Germany in the Balkans.

"Garrisons have not been ordered to move towards Romania and this is all a dirty ploy of propaganda either privately undertaken by The Times to discredit Berlin and impair relations or ordered by the Government, which would turn out to be the more disgusting scenario altogether."

Letter to the european Rulers

His Magnificence Abd ul_Hamid II, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, to His Friends the european Rulers.

I have given full power to my Grand Vizier Cyrion to reorganize the Ottoman economy ! As our country has fallen a long way behind the other european Powers, we welcome foreign investors and scientists to help us on the difficult task that awaits us!

More specifically, we would like to join the european commerce, and for this we would need the advance known as International Trade so that we could build trade lines with our neighbours and so strengthen our friendship!

Of course, our scientific interest isn't confined to International Trade!

With good diplomatic relations and economically strong countries, the new Century will mark the beginning of an ere of prosperity and peace for all Europe.
