Lord Rickety: How dare you interfere in Russia's domination of the seas and blockade of Spain. Your ships will now be sunk on sight. Do not blame the Russian Czar for this needless escalation, brought on by your inexplicable backing of the despotic Spanish regime. We all know you are merely humouring the Spanish, and will eventually turn on them in your lust for more lands!

Nevertheless, we have offered you peace.

Lord Paddy: While our war in Austria progresses well, we now finding ourselves fighting a war on 3 fronts. Your assistance is requested, by please cancelling your RoP with Spain, either by declaring war or otherwise. This RoP has enabled a Spanish SoD to camp outside our town of Bordeaux.

Despot Markos: We have offered you peace. It is your choice. If you refuse, Spain will be persecuted until the end of time.

to rickety

[marcuspeddle]

Only the sight of your armies lying in smoking ruins will give me peace now. My people demand it, Justice demands it, and the fire in my blood demands it.
So let it be done.

[Aqualung71]

I agree. Smoking ruins are an excellent place for my Armies to wait in hiding for your doomed offensive. My Cossacks' lead will scramble the brains ofyour farm boys, and those that survive the first onslaught will be run through with Cossack swords.

Bring it on, big boy!

Before you begin your whining Sandy, read back, and you will find our diplomats have been politely requesting you to remove your presence from the same for some years now.

Yes it was.....but now it's two



Fellow Comrade Lords and Kings:

Let us lay down our arms and consider the plight of our poor Royal Cousin, Paddy of Prussia, who has suffered terribly at the hands of the merciless Ottomans and cowardly Austrians.

I say we come together in peace and each gift Paddy a city close to the core of his empire, to enable him to continue the esteemed Prussian example of leadership of our once glorious alliance.

Russia has lands aplenty, and desires no more. Let us have peace in our time and put our collective powers to great good.....to help restore Prussia to her former magnificent glory!

Your friend
Czar Alexander

[ricketyclik]

You weren't so interested in peace earlier in the year Sandy. What's changed?

Nov 1809 to Masuro.

Ah, the black, gaping maw that was once a shining city screams at heaven but heaven merely broods in silence . . . . .

Dispatch to the Lords Rickety and Paddy

An event of intolerable cruelty and incomprehensible treachery has been committed in our sacred Europe.

Spain has launched a massive pre-emptive strike against a major Russian possession, Bordeaux. Not only has Spain destroyed our 2 Cossack Armies together with many other units, but upon capturing the city it was mercilessly razed to the ground.

The shock and horror of this atrocity shall reverberate throughout Europe for decades to come. Russia demands vengeance.

Throughout his reign, the Czar Alexander has acted benevolently towards his fellow European Imperial powers. Not once.....I repeat, not once has sovereign territory of Britain, Prussia or Spain been attacked by Russia. Nor has Britain or Prussia attacked the territory of another Imperial power.

This act of terrorism by Spain is a massive break from tradition, and has escalated what was once a quaint war of words into what will surely become a monstrous and ugly war....a war into which we fear the whole of Europe shall now be plunged.

Russia's pride and sovereign rights have been grossly and mortally wounded. There is now no way back from this path of outright war that Spain has so cunningly and ruthlessly chosen. Russia hereby states her intention, for the first time, to mercilessly pursue the Spanish.

Every last Spanish city shall be burned to the ground. Every Spanish soldier shall be sought out and killed in battle. Those who cannot stand the onslaught shall be shot in the back while fleeing, and those who escape shall be hunted down, rounded up, tortured and decapitated as cowards by a Cossack sabre. The women shall be gang raped and left bleeding to death. The children shall be sent to worker camps in Siberia and their remaining short lives shall be used for the benefit of the Russian economy.

I humbly ask you both.....Lord Rickety - accept peace with Russia and take no further part in what has become a very personal conflict for the Czar. Lord Paddy - cancel all diplomatic communications with the Spanish. Should your consciences dictate that you join Russia in her righteous crusade, then Russia shall welcome your soldiers side by side with hers.

The wrath of Russia is about to be visited upon Spain. Mark my words......Spain shall be torn apart and will cease to exist.

Anyone remember Sweden? A nation that fought along side ours?

The women shall be gang raped and left bleeding to death.

Ouch, mate. A bit too graphic . . . .

Bordeaux was razed for defensive reasons. The people were evacuated and are on their way back to Spain where they no longer have to endure vodka-soaked rulers.
Spain is ready for the Russian onslaught. If there is one. No doubt you are licking your wounds while you hurl curses.

[Paddy]

ouch indeed from both sides

Not at all. Sweden was never an Imperial power, nor a member of the Grand Alliance. Britain and Prussia both supported, or at least acquiesced to, Russia's annexation of Swedish territories. Prussia ended up with half the land, after all!

Spain on the other hand, actively and purposefully went directly against the collective wisdom of the Grand Alliance, to the extent of declaring war on a member of the Alliance, and arranging Military Alliances with Austria (an enemey of the Alliance) and the Ottomans (an enemy of both Britain and Prussia).

There can be no uncertainty regarding these issues. The truth is plain for all to see.

[Paddy]

yeah - what he said

bad bad spain

no little asain wontons for spain tonight

[marcuspeddle]

So you think.

The truth is plain for all to see.

And Russia, I'll be delivering Truth Part II to you very soon.
