Another IMPERIALISM 1870

[JamesJKirk]

I'll be busy the next day or two with moving, so by the time I'm settled in, I'll be available to play Russia again if Soundwave's still a no-show

[Smaug]

looks like Soundwave is a no-show.

[JamesJKirk]

Okay, as I'm moving, I won't have a phone line until Tuesday, so I'll do the turn then.

[Stormbringer]

ok, then we wait until tuesday

[Exile]

Yes and no.

Yes;

There are indeed several British units that have goto commands at the start of the scenario. My advice is to seek these units out and cancel the command prior to moving any other units. IIRC, there are such units in; Belize, Toronto, and Adelaide. There may well be a few others, but not many.

No;

I tried to fix this, but certain units I couldn't quite fix, no idea why. Yet another unhappy compromise courtesy of the Civ2 engine.

[Smaug]

I'm going to be away from the computer for a couple of days but hopefully I'll be back for my turn. I'm trying to get someone to sub in for me but I think I may have left it to late. Sorry guys.

[Pavlov]

Aww, that's a shame. How long will you be gone? If it's just two or three days we should be able to wait.

Also that would give me the chance to get home and play my turn.

[Smaug]

thanks Pavlov ,

I'm off and i'll be back on Thursday.

[winterfritz]

Hi all. Smaug has given me permission to play his turn if it comes up when he's away.

Half-Hearted Power-Grab by Richardovich Thwarted, Kirkov in Firm Control

Kurkov Publishes Intelligence Showing Independent Nations Declare War on Germany

Trade Goods Sent to Ireland, Surplus Sent to Ukraine

Cossacks Spotted Driving into Central Asia; No Comment, says Kurkov

Kurkov Reiterates Request for Foreign Technology

[Pavlov]

I am feeling a bit bored so...

President Pavlov issues decree!

Today president Pavlov announced the Jefferson decree. (Named after Bubba Jefferson, inventor of maple syrup) The decree states the following:

1. All ocean squares two squares away from continental USA is considered our territorial waters. No foreign warships may enter these waters. Any foreign warships found in US waters may be sunk without warning. All foreign transports are excepted of course. The US navy will ensure their safety.

Also, since the UK has possessions on Bermuda and in Canada, they are excepted. We are sure that the UK won't use this exception for any foul deeds.

2. The Hawaiian islands are now considered to be inside the US sphere of influence. Any foreign military actions against Hawaii will be regarded as an act of war against the people of the United States.

That's all for now, folks! Peace!

[Smaug]

The nation of Germany greatfully thanks Baron Von Winterfritz for assuming her duties whilst thier leader Otto Von Bismark went away on his annual holiday.

Germany was devastated to find that the Independent nations betrayed,backstabbed and cheated the German people. Germany has vowed to wipe the independent nations off the earth. Any others who wish to join this crusade are welcome, it is time the Independents payed the price for treachery.

Germany is glad that Richardovich was thwarted and thanks Russia for the warning of the Independent attack.

[Pavlov]

President Pavlov wishes Germany the best of luck in their campaign against those so called independent nations.

The president also congratulates tzar Kirkov for stopping that evildoer Richardovich. On another note, perhaps Russia could send a PM detailing the technologies they are interested in?

Note to Germanos: I'm not taking over yet, I'm just a bit bored. I'll get home on saturday so if the US turn comes up before then, you're still in charge.

[Pavlov]

Once again...

I'm back!

President Pavlov is open for business. Thank you very much for your help and advice, germanos! If you ever need a sub yourself, I'll be happy to repay the favour.

I'm eager to play now so... *cough* El! *cough*

[germanos]

Good to see you back Pavlov.

I hope the US will benefit from my 'reign'.

I might need a sub next week. I'll keep you informed...

Good luck, Germanos,VP
