With respect (or without, it matters not).....your ramblings are complete poppycock, Ferdinand.

Of course Spain is responsible for Russia finding herself at war with Austria and the Ottomans. Your damned King Carlos arranged the alliances against us personally!

You cannot disavow responsibility for the actions of your predecessor, the sovereign leader of Spain recognised by the powers of Europe. You, on the other hand, a stable boy of inconsequential stock......have not been recognised by any Imperial family of Europe!

Funny, your Imperial Sister recognised me in the hayloft a couple weeks ago.

And I am not responsible for what that nincompoop Carlos did during his reign. Try to kiss and make up with the Austrians and Ottomans.

If you do not want to make peace with me, I invite you and your army to Spain. We are ready for all arguments.

[marcuspeddle]

Dear Czar,

I have thought over my rash words and would like to make an apology. My relationship with your sister makes us practically family, after all. ( ) I will offer something for the soldiers injured in our war and I will talk to the leaders of the Austrians and the Ottomans. Though I am sure they will not listen to me.

Your humble servant,

Ferdinand

[Aqualung71]

The Czar of Russia has no sister. We shall meet in Madrid, stable boy

[marcuspeddle]

What, you disowned her because she's no longer pure?

Yes, I'll prepare the tea for your visit. One lump of cyanide or two?

[Aqualung71]

I simply have no further need for her. As for purity....she has been pleasuring the Crown Prince since she was 12, so no big surprise there. Do with that wench as you please....she has clearly come down in the world.

Now I wonder how your closest neighbour Britan is keeping these days. Old Lord rickety has been very quiet across the channel.....no doubt buiulding his forces for an attack on......someone

The Austrians are keeping me busy!

Good to hear rickety

.....and say hi to the Spaniards on your way home

September 1806 to Lord Aqualung

[Aqualung71]

Ferdinand.......100g + 20gpt for peace? You've got to be kidding

Lord Paddy - the conquest of Sweden is complete. We propose to divide the spoils of 4 cities taken between the land-poor Prussians and our own Russian landowners. The first of 2 cities has therefore been gifted to you this turn, while the second shall be gifted in a couple more turns once all our troops have vacated the area.

My Generals have now been instructed to turn their eyes towards the traitorous Austrians and extract some revenge for the damage they have caused you. Even as this messenger delivers this news to you, our Troop Transports are heading south towards your port of Konigsberg, where we propose our Army of Russian Cossacks and Imperial Guard units land and continue through your lands to besiege Warsaw on your behalf. There are other troops streaming southwest through Russian lands towards the same target.

Meanwhile, we have strengthened the defences in the south of our empire, and we now feel confident of defending our southern towns from the Ottoman hordes.

No thanks to the Spaniard for putting us in this position.

on to rickety

[marcuspeddle]

Then there's nothing I can offer you. Good luck with it.

Really? Hmmm, that's strange. I would have thought that with zero research, Spain would be pulling down about 400gpt net income! Maybe more, if your GA is still going

[Paddy]

wow

wow 400 gpt

that be massive

and when will Rickety hand over the Portugal cities and Gibraltar that are listed in our game set up posts

Sep 1806 to Masuro
