Anyone for 2194?

News from England

Most of the English Pacific fleet was destroyed by the Japanese attacks, but the remains are repositioning, and a few naval battles against Japan were won.

English troops at Cairo attampt to retake Alexandria with air support from nearby cities, but fail, also all of the German units outside the city were destroyed. A german city in central africa was left defenseless after being bombed by british planes. British atlantic fleet did not suffer as much as the Pacific one and it is preparing for operations to stop the German submarine attacks.

In Europe things look very bad. Attempted bombing of cities in Northern France and Norway did not achieve their goal, also some units in Norway were destroyed. North France seems to be a fortress that is impossible for the British alone to take.

We might want to have a human play the Chinese after all: The AI is moving its AA batteries. I guess that was (with hindsight) to be expected, but do we want this?

The same probably goes for the neutrals, although if I understand the designer correctly, the neutrals have been given a much more modest place in the scenario than the Chinese, so we don't need a player for them...

I'm going to hold my fire for a day or so.

Gen. Germanov.

Hi everyone. Ive tried this scenario as China for a few turns with the current save and if needed i'l take over for the AI.

[germanos]

Great

I hope the rest will agree.

I assume you are aware of the new rules file (see 1st post) and that AA-batteries are NOT allowed to move?

General Germanov looks forward to speak to his Chinese ally

May I suggest the new Chinese player takes no offensive action (no attacking) on his first turn. The Japanese player planned things out for an AI Chinese player so his defences will be pretty thin over there. I think a no first turn attack rule is only fair.

I'm okay with it, DrFells suggestion sounds pretty good. Of course, academia should have his say.

That´s true. However, i attacked and conquered the chinese city of Kunming. So, i think that he has the right to counterattack and try to recover that city.
Only this city. ok?

Civfan you´re welcome and play your turn whenever you want.

In view of the Japanese Emporors gallant behaviour on the Chinese Front recently, SG Stalin has applied for Japanese citizenship.

This one's going a bit slow for my liking

germanos hasn't been posting for four days now and I'm sick of waiting so I'm going to advertise for a replacement (substitute?)
