No Problem...

[The ANZAC]

London Times

Sure no problem with Minor Powers

!Response to German Offensive

Britain was amazed at the speed of desintegration of the line in the Low Countries against the Germans. Churchill said that Britain shall fight on with or without allies. Greece has announced it's support for Britain.

Tirana seized!

Greek forces with British auxiliaries managed to plow through non-existant Italian defenses to liberate Albania! Albanians are estatic and willing to join the Allied cause.

D+30 in Norway

The bridgehead at Bergen is being held against the Germans. The Norwegian people should help to throw off the chains of tyranny

May of 1940

The Soviet Union is quite busy in these times trying to settle the problem of kolectivisation of the Ukrainian agriculture. Word has it that many people are starving. Komrade Stalin has been informed and is doing his best to remedy the situation.

Still, our armies are not involved in conflict at all.

Hey guys, sorry about this, but I am going home from college for Easter tonight, and I won't be able to play again until Monday. I'll get my turn done as soon as I get back Monday sometime.

Sorry bout this.

The French government had a crise meeting in Marseille. The Prime Minister Paul Reynaud decided to release the chief commander general Gamelin from his duties and sent him to inspect defence systems in Korsika island. General Weygand was named as a new chief commander of French armies.

Marshal Philippe Petain who tried to argue that there is no point to continue the war with Germany was appointed as a governor of Madagascar island. He was also strongly advised to take some of his followers with him.

General Weygand reported our first success against the Wehrmacht: Armored counterattack lead by general Charles de Gaulle and supported by the 1th French bomber fleet destroyed several German panzer columns near Paris.

[Pap1723]

Herr Chancellor Pap

[Kalmer]

Industrial reform continues.

To Axis: What is your answer to our proposal?

To Soviets, Allies and France: we like to establish science-pact with you - all technologies are shared between us.

To Spain/Minors: we propose mutual defence pact - if somebody attacks one of us then we all go to war against the aggressor.

[Pap1723]

Kalmer,
The Axis accept your offer to exchange knowledge.

Pap

[The ANZAC]

Sure, exchange of techs is fine for the Allies.

[klesh]

Komrade Stalin agrees to an exchange of technologies on one condition: That Soviet Warships be given complete, non-tariff access to the Bospurus and the Dardenelles at all times.

This is of course not for offensive purposes against Turkey, but rather to promote proper manuverability for our Red Navy.

Komrade Stalin also wishes to point out that since (IIRC) Turkey's military is Axis based, she might want to ask Spain or the Axis themselves if they may share military technologies. The Komrade is pretty sure that even if we were to give you the tech for T-28's and Red Army and such that you still wouldn't be able to conscript these units for yourselves.

Does The Turkish Foreign Minister agree to the Soviet conditions?

-Vasily Kleshnikov.

[Soundwave]

I'm sorry i will have to pull out of this PBEM... SORRY

[The ANZAC]

So should I skip over Spain for now when I play my turn?

[klesh]

Okaaaaaaaaaaayy then, I would prefer to have a human player as Spain soley to keep the Axis in check. I dont want to see them easily overrunning an AI Spain (sorry Pap). I think it is okay to keep going now w/o Spain, but we should get someone who wants to play to fill in ASAP.
