Oh, I thought it might have something to do with dispatching the indomitable Rommel2D...

1140ad to the bomber

Well, the game software rose up and bit us again that turn.

Upon seeing that the loyal opposition had achieved both webbed feet and wings last turn, we decided to take measures to protect or borders, including a declaration of war.

So, we put three cavs in the forest of Tilberg, pressed the F4 key, and further selected the handsome face I think of as "Sabre." However, under active deals I was not able to select peace to renegotiate as a declaration of war. It was faded text.....

Somewhat daunted, I moved on to the "Egyptian whore" Theo (actual fact), whose face I've not been able to imagine as "Andy," god or no god. Here the game was more emphatic, ceasing to run entirely when I tried to declare war. That was probably due to Sabre calling me "bomber" in his post

Whereas the Maya were not intending actually to shoot anybody, I am very disappointed in this development. I cannot think of any fair way to proceed but to shoot first and send the turn on to Arabia, where they are undoubtedly smiling and sunning themselves on the beaches. The Maya have lost the considerable advantage of US due to this breakdown.

Battle report:

Bombardment is too lengthy to detail on a per shot basis but it should be described adequately, IMO.

Some 12 bombing runs vs the Byz, who were judged guilty of an ancient genocide in a Mayan kangeroo court

A large number of arty shots at the Dutch rubber and one bomber run there. (You can both see the number of units used.)

11 cavs attacked Byz infantry during the turn: 5 died; one has 3 hp; 3 have 1 hp; and two have 4 hp.

That's all folks. As I said, this was not the plan and we were far from ideally arranged to execute it.

[alexman]

Ah, war at last!

1150 sent.

[sabrewolf]

but i still did not understand the way you wanted us to declare war...?

and not intending to shoot anybody, but enough transports to carry at least 1 marine and 11 cavalry (probably double that number in total) and at least 13 bombers (IN PLACE!)... that's a slight contradiction.

anyway, congrats to alexman on the victory. building spaceship parts while we are rebuilding our burned down cities and recruiting more units

[jshelr]

I don't know, Sabre, maybe I was wrong. I thought that, having universal sufferage, my best bet was to get you to attack and then hold on against the two of you until citizen revolts forced you back to monarchy.

[Andydog]

that was nasty

sorry for the delay for all my games. a friend puked all over my 3000$ notebook which now does not work despite throrough cleaning

i'll get to it asap. my old desktop computer needs reinstalling, then i can catch up

sorry again!

[jshelr]

It's the old "friend puked on my computer story," huh. Expect us to believe that, do ya?

I was expecting to read a battle report detailing how you took all my cities

[sabrewolf]

i know, it sounds completely unrealistic and insane, but it's true
but some good news: i managed to clean the motherboard with isopropanole (95% alcahol) last night. the notebook works again but when reassembling it i forgot one part (as excuse: it was 2:30AM). once i finish it tonight, i should finally catch up with the 5 games that i have been stalling.

sorry again! cheers

[sabrewolf]

sorry that i still have not managed to play the turn. workload is huge these weeks and hardly left me any time for installation... i'll try to get to it this weekend!
sorry again and cheers

[sabrewolf]

ok, finally!

however shocked to see the pure power of devastation of the mighty mayan people!

dutch investigators visited horrified byzantine farmers who had fled into some small caves in the mountains over constantinople and described how there was neverending thunder (bombers?) followed by huge ships apearing on the horizon with mysterious men coming out of the water with guns that sounded like firecrackers. after they had arrived, loads of men on horses stromed in all directions and fought in neighboring cities. then hell opened its gates and sucked the former glorious cities into the ground and closing behind them. only a pile of rubble was left and a few mayan soldiers that had not committed suicide.

the peasants believe that it was the wrath of the legendary iroquois who had been crushed millennia ago, but the dutch governement believes that it was in fact the ruthless mayan who had attacked out of the blue!
