Excellent job, Sir Paddy. King Snoopy V has taken the reigns, and all is well in the Korean War.

Hawkeye Pierce is resting on the comfortable couches of the Hostels of Liverpool. We have taken it with few losses!

AD 1600: Take Liverpool. Land near Inchon, south of the Saltpetre - I think that's the only one they have, so that would be a coup. Indians want peace - hah! I want to take their city and kill it. Koreans try to kill our ships with their Caravels - lol, doesn't work at all. Lyons is a failed assault by the Koreans that never really happened, as the French finish off their forces. Lots of workers built this turn, it will be a trend for a few turns. I like fast railroads

AD 1605: Iron pillaged, so no more Pikeman or non-horse offensive units of meaning (well, longbowmen ) ... Saltpetre has 3 cavalry on it, it should be pillaged next turn with no problem... and we're going to see if we can do some damage to the cities nearby too.

AD 1610: Hawkeye Pierce makes an entrance, with a victory over Pyongsong's defenders, producing a great leader (Canute II). Saltpetre is pillaged, and next turn we will own (or raze, not sure) Pyongsong.

AD 1615: Pyongsong RAZED. I went with my gut - no more Greek repeat. Also took Dover, kept that. Large army of cavalry-types moving through; I'm going to take this slow enough to ensure I don't lose any cities (or many, anywho) to reversion.

AD 1620: 1620 is hard on frigates. Two full-HP frigates are lost to Caravels! Eek! Not much else, other than capturing Paegam!

AD 1625: Not much. Mostly just healing those wounded cavalry from the last two cities, and consolidation.

AD 1630: In the irony to end all ironies, Hawkeye Pierce takes Inchon, after a thorough naval bombardment! Also take Ulsan with relatively little pain. Korea is going to be very easy now that they have no musketmen ... Also trade Industrialization to the Celts for 297gpt and 1200 gold. I figure it's worth it. It will certainly hurt their ability to develop science, in addition to helping ours ...

AD 1635: Taejon taken. Mmmm. Factories building.

AD 1640: Hyangsan and Namp'o taken. Lots of RRs finished - the home continent is nearly connected!

AD 1645: Pyonyang taken...

At end of turn - Celts declare war on us! Our valiant veteran cavalry defeats 3 medieval infantry attacks before succumbing to a fourth, near Modo's on the Celtic coast. Good thing the Koreans are about finished- we needed somewhere to send our cavalry next! Seoul has an adequate force to take it sitting outside (barring the Koreans sinking their forces into Seoul, but I doubt that.) Pison has only 2 units inside (i've been bombarding it to test) so that's an easy city to take with the force outside it as well. Korea should be at most 5-6 turns left, excepting the little island of 2 small cities - that can be taken or not at your leisure.

I left the Greeks alone - the Iroquois are doing them in nicely. Also kept us at war with India and Zulu, just because we can, and I want some of those stinking silks, and i'd rather capture them than pay for them. I'm sure it's not too hard to take a zulu city given what era they're in.

Have fun - i'll email Grandpatroll the save. I'm only posting the one screenie here, because i'm sleepy, but trust me, the demographics and score look nice.

Well Done Sire

[Modo44]

Nice going.
I mean, nice burning.

[Grandpa Troll]

I believe 10 turns is what Snopy played?

I am on the way to play it now..10 turns and if not enough the next in line can make up the difference

Gramps

[Modo44]

It is 10 turns now, you are correct. Go burn get them. Ahh, nothing like a Christmas slaughter party.

[Grandpa Troll]

I stand here to share that what was once given me PROOF-Positive of Snoopy's seedy and questionable leadership practices has been hereby exposed as Heresy..HERESY I tell you!!

I took under "Good Authority" and "almost certain authenticity" that the information I authorized was "reasonably sound" and "more-or-less accurate"

Apparently, when some over zealous reporters saw Snoopy near Korea, they interjected he was up to no good when in fact he was attending a royal Korean Wedding

I stand here and say Snoopy is innocent and his good name should be held upon highest esteem

[Grandpa Troll]

Ok..now we are back to current events..

I am here to say that I do questioon why we are so far flung when we start a military action?

Ok..1650 we are at war with Korea..I have my Expedionary Force at the ready outside Seoul..but have deided upon a more coastal ring to establish multiple future beachheads..

[Grandpa Troll]

Ill spare you all the sordid details, except to say we were hit with numerous Trade embargos and sanctions..why I was flooded with dispatches such as this one

[Grandpa Troll]

as years pasted and workers improved our infrastructure..military alliances were forged..without our being on the PLUS side

Why before I knew it Modos Trophy was being overrun and no troops at my immediate dispatch

[Grandpa Troll]

MODO'S Trophy Falls!!

and then it hit like a ton of bricks..

We had heros and they fought bravely..

[Grandpa Troll]

But was not enough

sad indeed

[Grandpa Troll]

we went to work on Korea..

[Grandpa Troll]

then news of the sad and terrible carnage that befell the Hammerfest Isle..burned to the ground..aweful..simply aweful
