1799 will never be the same

[Andydog]

Sorry Lord Shogun, I guess war must have kicked in when I signed an MPP with Spain. I assume you have ended your participation in the war now that the bloodthirsty frogs have done so?

I'll play the turn tonight after work.

Jan 1802 to Paddy

March 1802 to Lord Gunner

[Shogun Gunner]

March 1802 AD to Sultan Andydog.

The campaign in Spain is over. I have sent a Peace Treaty for your review and signature, Sultan.

[Paddy]

Ahhh so we await word from the mighty Suultain of the East

[Andydog]

Leaders of Europe,

Given the upset of power that Europe has experienced in recent months, the Sultan and their close ally Russia have been forced to restore the balance.

War has broken out with our neighbours Austria and Prussia. It is with a heavy heart and an itchy camel-flea bitten bum that the Sultan orders troops into Austria.

We must prevent the frogs from giving in to their bloodthirsty nature and expanding eastwards. The Sultan's troops, with the aid of the Russia, are currently re-defining boarders to achieve this aim, since our army will better be able to resist the frog rooting savages than the feeble Austrian army.

The MPPs in place have caused the honourable English and the dishonourable French to declare war on us. If the Ottomans or Russians are attacked by either the English or French, we will fight them side by side.

However we do not want to shed more blood than is necessary and will send over peace offerings next turn {The Sultan forgot to do it this turn - I guess he had the goats on his mind }.

Once we feel more comfortable with the balance of power, we would like to try to improve relations with the French and begin trading so that all our people prosper.

We anticipate the war to be a short one, causing the minimum of disruption to Austrian and Prussian civilians. We wouldn't like this war to turn into a major European conflict. Again, we were forced into this by the actions of the Frogs.

May --> Mike

May to Paddy

Official Russian communiqué to follow once the tsar has reccovered from the effects of last night.

France stands in shock at this news

What has the world come to indeed

With a great deal of sadness our Nation mourns this day.

So the Mighty Suultain has stretched out his hand and sprinkled the fleas of his nation across the landscape of Europe. The Camel jockeys have made a way and smited people have they.

Are you going to be supllying maps of your conquests?

What sort of damage did you inflict Suultain?

What sort of damage did the Austrians extract from your forces? Were they able to stem the flow of your unleashed Camel Jockeys? have they given you rise to desire peace with my people so quickly? have you taken such a beating so quickly that they may now start taking land from you?

I hope that you are aware of the strength and power of the mighty Austrian Hussars. They are a formidable force that you should be very weary of

You calmly state that these actions of your Nation have been brought upon you by the very nature of our people just amazing indeed

Yes amazing I am touched that France, who has not one unit near your people, who has openly traded with you, who desires to see you grow in happiness and prosperity, could so easily be the Blame for your expansionist desires You do my people proud that you need lay the blame at our feet.

Indeed, your politics and diplomacy is all very different to ours. But then you are quite the foriegner to me

At this hour we realise that the sacred save will have been delivered to our Palace. It is anticipated that we will return there in the coming hours.

Well again it will be with a saddened heart to then find out the losses that will have been inflicted on these two staunch and mighty allied nations.

It is certainly hoped that you know what you have done...

Never have we attacked or hurt any nation that you called allie or friend - never

you have done something here that is all very very dangerous

the more I think of this, the more my blood rises

I have no problem that you feel that you need to annex lands, expand your empires, grow and teach those of other lands the glory of your own hearts. You know this by my actions in Spain. Of this I try not to be a hypocrite at all.

You blame me though, making my people accountable for the massive loss of live and upheveal of the very people that we have signed aggreements to protect and stand tall with.

Then you wave some proposed peace treaty at my people

Do you think we have no loyalties

You speak of your alliances - Russia and the Ottomen, as if we should all drop to the floor in awe yet you wish us to ignore our alliances oh we be not the fools you would have us be

My people are very curious to hear the reply of the British.

Many a report and statement was put forward over French actions in Spain.

The world now awaits the report from the Czar of all of the Russias.... What on earth will he say

[Paddy]

May 1802 to Lord Gunner

Czar Mickey, looking forward to your report

[Shogun Gunner]

The English King looks at the recent strategic map of Europe and sighs..... His Royal Highness looks at his top military advisor and asks, "Are Russians and Ottomans - European??" The lack of a response became an overwhelming silence as no one dared to speak.

The King slid a sealed envelope over to the military commandar. "Carry out these orders immediately" the King stated. With that, he turned on his heel and marched out of the room. The military commandar's hand shook as he opened the letter.... He turned to his subordinates and waved them out of the room.

May 1802 to Sultan Andydog

[Paddy]

So one can only wonder what was in the envelope...

Tsar Mickeyj is tied up with other matters of national importance at the moment, ie the Battersea Power Station . A diplomatic response will be drafted during the course of the day
