[Dr. Nick]

We need to get that Soze guy!

[winterfritz]

I don't think we can get the Soze guy, El Awrence, whenever you try and get him he just disappears

Anyway, theres just one slot left now, the Indians. Perhaps Cyrion can take them

Heres an updated player list:

Confederates - The ANZAC - theanzac@optonline.com
Border States - AI
French/Spanish - Case - nick_dowling@hotmail.com

Are the Indians really playable?

Are the Indians really playable?

They are in single player, though quite challenging. I think it would make the settlement of the west a lot more interesting if we had an Indian player.

[Exile]

The Native Americans?

Yeah, they're playable. Take a look at the readme file for some hints on how to play them.

Btw, I'm really looking forward to seeing how this one plays out. I designed this with MP in mind, and although the scenario isn't really "balanced," the interplay ought to be interesting to watch.

IMO, the Union has the most powerful position, followed by the Confederacy. The British, French/Spanish, and Mexican all have strengths and weaknesses, and as noted, the Border States are not really playable.

Good luck and have fun.

I think we should get a Indian Player, and then help them out a little as least!!

So i'm PM Cyrion

Then we can start???Start now??

O winterfritz and you other guys join The Peloponnesian War as well, but its actually Hellas PBEM, maybe Anzac you wanna start a new thread, just a thought...

[The ANZAC]

Charleston Courier

Smashing Victory at Fort Sumter!

The Confederate Army yesterday had a glorious victory over the Yankee garrison at Fort Sumter. One soldier said, "We's sent dem yeller bellied Yankee's up North!"

Crowds are estantic all over the Confederate States of America. The fight for freedom seems winnable now.

[Case]

Not much happening here

[Soundwave]

British PM Congrats Confederate Troops
Today the British Pm Congratulated the Confederation on the Capture of Fort Sumner.. although the Canadian Governor Richards today said, they can Congratulate Everyone, but the Union is our friends as well as Confrederates and both should not be taking lightly, in the following he told reporters to Dismiss The PM's comments, as it has been heard of the Governor favouring the Union...

[Case]

Exile, why don't you take the Indians?

[Soundwave]

Good idea come on exile!

[Exile]

Thanks for the invitation . . .

But I'm going to decline your gracious offer. I know too much about the scenario. I've played it probably dozens, if not hundreds of times. There are things that I know that would not be fair to the other players.

My suggestion is to find someone with a kamikaze mentality and let them play the Native Americans.

Anzac, are you sure you didn't start this game on Diety? An awful lot of my cities went into disorder for Prince difficulty.

Then again, maybe the Mexicans just don't like me

Mexico City Gazette

This month, the Mexican inhabitants of South Texas revolted! Throwing off the yoke of their Confederate masters, the Mexicans captured the town of Brownsville.

The provisional government there has asked the Mexican President for absorption into Mexico, and he has agreed to these requests. The area below the Nueces River has become a part of the Mexican Federation as the state of West Texas.

This area was unjustly stolen from Mexico by belligerent US armies in 1846, so its re-absorption by our glorious republic is only right and fair.

In other news, the new President has introduced radical reforms that will dramatically increase the size of the Mexican Army. However, he has asserted that this new and improved force will do no more than 'provide a more adequate defence against our glorious country's enemies.'

Also, the President has declared that the Mexican Republic is ready to recieve proposals of alliances from the great powers of North America. In particular, he has no wish for conflict with the CSA (Governor AI of Texas excitedly declared war when Brownsville rebelled.) President Anzac is assured that Mexican territorial ambitions in Texas have been more than satisfied.

The President continues too to call for peace with the Spanish/French expeditionary force. 'Your powerful army would admittedly do well on a European battlefield, but in the Mexican plains and hills it will be decimated by our bandits. We ask that you make peace, rather than cause us both to squander our military force needlessly,' he stated in a telegram sent to Havana.
