1799 will never be the same

Czar Mickeyj,

I must inquire to the purpose of your very large Army due east of Stettin. It is very impressive in it's might. My scouts report a Cossack army group with many other individual Cossack units, a large contingent of infantry, and eight grand batteries. You are two clicks within British borders. Please redirect your troops due east.

Additionally, a naval task force has been spotted east of Kristianstad in the Baltic Sea. This is also within British territorial boundaries. Please alter your heading due east back into Russian waters.

Yours,
King Shogun Gunner of England

can't wait to get home to see if the Russian army group and naval task force have continued moving West deeper into British territory or have returned to their borders back East

The peaceful Russians...

the very people who would not face the French in Battle...

Dearest Czar Mickeyj of Russia,

I have a grave concern. My polite request regarding your troops returning to your territories seems to have been ignored. My scouts report that the Russian army group has continued to advance on Posen, United Kingdom.

I must inform you that I have overruled my military advisor, who recommended an immediate strike against your forces around Posen, UK and against the Russian naval task force in the Baltic. In reviewing the data, I do concur with my military advisor, who guaranteed England would have triumphed on both land and sea.

So, my dear friend, let us both take a step back from the abyss. Turn your forces around. If they are in British territory next turn, they will not return home alive.

Yours,
King Shogun Gunner of England

THe troops have been instructed to move it appears they had not received the new commands last turn.

[Andydog]

So.
The English are starting to throw their weight around are they.

Care to teach them a lesson Rasputin?

[Paddy]

oh lesson teachers are you?

[Andydog]

The Sultan is never shy of teaching a lesson or two.

In fact he inquired after the frogs this morning. Apparently the spanish amongst you are sick of being badly treated, and are close to boycotting snails in favour of bull fights.

[Paddy]

is that right

last time I saw you in the area your lads were running back home

[Shogun Gunner]

I don't know about "throwing our weight around", but defending British citizen's rights, life and property is my only concern. If France or England had parked a signficant number of troops and artillery next to an Ottoman city what would your reaction be?

Perhaps the 'ole Sultan is considering a first strike....
