The Struggle for Europe PBEM

[klesh]

Damn, i havent been on the net in days...

Gentlemen, we have a bit of a situation here. I want to settle this before Stalin reacts to these recent developments. In this thread, there are developments which might lead me to think our recently forceful Spanish player may have cheated. I am not acusing anything here, but I want to let all the players in the game know, and to perhaps cast a vote if Marko wants to. Untill this is settled, we will not make a statement.

As I posted in the thread which FMK indicated, you may also want to check out DoM's posts in this thread.

Imperial-Markus can be in the PBEM only if there is consensus of all players about it.

If I understand correctly then at least Case is against it and it means that Spain goes back to AI.

Nutrality gets lonely in March 1941...

Okay then, I agree to such things.


Now for the Soviet Reaction to the French Question.


FROM THE DESK OF IOSEF STALIN:

This War was begun by the nation of Germany. This is a German war designed on European, if not world conquest. Their savage aggression, denounced by all, clearly positions them in the role of the protagonist. The Brave Nations which have valiantly defended their borders, but have fallen nonetheless in this war do indeed remain soverign!

Every Nation currently occipied by the fascists hold a government-in-exile either in London or Moscow. These men will not turn a blind eye to what happens to their people during occupation. Their legal status, guarenteed by the Allied Powers, continues to be enforced, and they will retain their colonial possetions. No one shall stab the back of nations currently involved in fighting fascistic tyranny! No one could forsee the fall of France, nor could anyone prevent it. However, she has fought with the utmost bravery in conjunction with the British in the desert, achieved total victory on the front. She will not be abandoned now.

Turkey has made the vital mistake of hindering the war effort of the Allied powers against Germany. She is now considered in league with Germany herself at Moscow. Turkey may not be so willing to talk tough now that she has no allies as it gets quite lonely with 3 nations gunning for you. The recent coup in Spain should be heeded as an omen not to continue your unlawful and criminal occupation of Beirut.

The Soviet Union therefore puts for its conditions for Turkey. There will be no discussion. Accept them, or become a Soviet Socialist Republic:

Turkey has untill the Soviet turn is ready to play to decide if it will withdraw from Beirut or continue its occupation. The Soviet Union will not take its March 1941 turn untill it has heard from Turkey.

If Turkey decides to withdraw, then all things can calm down. However, if no response is heard in a timely fashion, or a denial of the terms is issued, then the Soviet Union will exist in a state of War with Turkey and our People's Army will run you into the ground mercelessly.

Whether or not the British and French care to join is no matter to us now. You have threatened our southern border with warefare, and hindered our ability to move against the Germans. For this you shall be eliminated so as we may get on with the business of killing Germans.

It is a shame this had to happen, as we have enjoyed good relation with the Turks in the past.

you've gotten ahead of yourself by coloring turkey red...

It seems that Markus has vanished from the face of the earth, so even I I did want him in this game [which I don't] then we'd still need a new Spanish Player

The German government is appaled at Soviet hpyocracy. A nation which has initiated a war of agression against the peace loving German people has no right to lecture other nations who seek to expand their borders against the Allied swine.

Ill take the spannish player if no one has any objections? I played as spain in the other TSFE which was for some reason abandoned

[The ANZAC]

Soviet hypocrisy? Germany invades Yugoslavia for no aparent reason Also the Grad Alliance will not tolerate other countries pushing around our Allies. So Spain and Turkey: imeediately withdraw or face the consequences. The Allies support the Soviet ultimatum, and plan to also have it apply to Spain.

OOC: Sounds fine. Welcome Grothgar.

[Grothgar]

Oh dont worry, spain hasnt invaded yet and im not planning to, you must be kidding if i want to take on you lot

[The ANZAC]

OK I was worried there for a moment

[Kalmer]

Turkish government will take time to discuss the matters.

[Kalmer]

Because of the changing political situation Turkish army decided to accept Soviet Union and Allies demands and will retreat from Syria.

[The ANZAC]

Do we need to henrikize here?

[Marko]

Do we need to henrikize here?

I think yes, unless somebody has Spanish password.
