Cork in Spanish hands? 
Britain demands these troops to be withdrawn immediately. Full and utter compliance is expected.

No, spain has a legitimate reason to be in ireland, if you were not aware when my predecessor of the fair land of spain united the iberian peninsular the peoples of ireland, misguidedly outraged, declared war on spain.
We have already lost three tanks to the irish home forces, and it was lucky we had a destroyer at hand to get rid of their invasion force headed undoutably for spain.
We will not withdraw, we are just looking to finnish this misguided war. Also if you persist in trying to gain access over them we will just hand them over to turkeyMaps, Maps, MORE MAPS!!!!

Hey, thanks everybody!
I've had a blast playing this PBEM as everything has pretty much fallen into place for me. Case, the startingpoint of my army is classified, you'll have to wait till the postwar era when I retire and write an autobiography: Kleshnikov- a Tale of Love and Sorrow 
Honestly, note that T-34's have a movement of 12 in winter... I could attack from anywhere in Poland and still get a few hit with each T-34. Vet T-34 is enough to take out those pesky Bunkers, if I am lucky on the draw and there is no river involved.
I have also noticed that you still have a bit of fight in you as well Case. I dont mind continuing to play, and since it has been designed as such, perhaps fighting other nations later. But to be honest... I have the most cities by far, will be getting the lions share in the comming months, and have Hoover's Dam. I wouldn't want to fight against me. But if everyone wants to continue, I'm down for that.
Cricket. Very odd scoring. I listen to the BBC late at night here on our public radio station. The cricket score section is always my favourite because I have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. None whatsoever. "A 345 on their first 30 over. The next 300 should see Wochestershire getting another 4,500 on the double willy-nilly." That kind of thing. Its great. There are sme Indian fellows that play cricket at the baseball diamond down at the university I live by. I stop and sit on the bleachers to watch them occasionally, but the game is still unknown to me.
Now for this Irish business. For now we have no comment on the issue. That ordeal is not in our sphere of interest or influence. If our allies were to request assistance, we would have to think about the course of action. However, since Spain is claiming that if Britain acts on the invasion of Ireland, then Spain will give her Irish possesions to Turkey.... that changes everything.
Why on earth would you want to do that? Turkey has no ability to fight a war in Ireland. Spain has a far better chance of shipping troops there. If Spain is doing that so that Turkey has a reason to launch offensives from her homeland into Greece with the army she has been building heretofor in this game... then this is a grave mistake. A Horrid miscalculation indeed. I needn't even entertain questions as to what the Soviet reaction to such events would be. I think you know.
I know you two are itchy to fight, but unless you attack the Germans, you'll wind up getting trounced. But hey, were all having fun, right?

Well i didnt mean it in that way, i meant turn it over to turkey because they are neutral and the allies wouldnt want to attack a neutral country would they?
I mean i would give it to france or you, the soviets but i know that youd just give it back to the allies lol. And i would be attacking germany if france hadnt cut off my access with their drive across southern franceMaps, Maps, MORE MAPS!!!!

Hitler Dead, FM Case Takes Command
The German people have greated the news that Adolf Hitler is dead with a mixture of shock and relief. According to the few survivors of the Berlin garrison, the Fuhrer was killed when elite Soviet Guards troops stormed his bunker underneath the Reich Chancellory.
Ignoring the conditions set out in Hitler's will, the little known Field Marshal Case has seized power at the head of the remnants of the German army. All the surviving Nazi Party and SS leadership have been given one week to report to their local Volksgrenadier regiments so that they may continue their direct involvement in the war which they began.
Operation Defiance Launched
In willful ignorance of the military situation in Europe, the German Armed forces have gone on the offencive.
In the East, troops of Army Group Oder have recaptured Frankfurt and Berlin. While huge numbers of Soviet formations were destroyed in this operation, the survivng German troops are anxiously awaiting the expected Russian counter offencive.
The troops which liberated Berlin have overseen the removal of as many of the cities residents as was possible. The regugees have been advised to head for western Germany so that they may escape the Russian jackboot.
The troops in Berlin have also recovered Hitler's body, and given him the burial he deserved (in the Berlin zoo crocodile pit)
In the west, the city of Orleans has been destroyed by a joint Luftwaffe-Army operation.

Despite me hitting control+n at the end of my last turn, a lot of my units had moved since my last turn. I guess that somebody forgot to change their rules file. As I'm dead meat I don't really care, but it would be nice if everybody checked that they switched the rules file

Hrmpf. Well that sort of spoils it.
To be sure, my files were switched properly. I wouldn't blow a critical turn like that one.

Hmmm , good point.
However, as a sign of goodwill and plus as you will have been screwed much more than I if I fix this, I think I might just play on with all those bloody horses. It'll be more fun for everyone that way, and I think thats best for the game.

I don't see how you fixing this will unfairly affect me. Feel free to use lazyciv - I use it every turn to stop the AI from building me an all homeguard army.'Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be - or to be indistinguishable from - self-righteous sixteen year olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.'

Well your units were moved which probably resulted in me being able to take both Frankfurt and Berlin. I was just offering to let the computer screw us both so that the game might have a bit more pizzaz in the next few turns... whatever.
