The Second Coalition - 22 June 1799

[Paddy]

Hello Konig Bongo,

Sounds like you will storm the gates of Oslo.

Do you know if the Iron Prince is planning on attacking Sweden?

On the Preusso-Franco Border the RedCoats are still holding the line. I have seen quite a large Russian force coming across country, and a unit of Cavalry on the roads. Do you know the Iron Prince's plans for this area? I did sent some troops into Austria, but the Lord Shogun Gunner has his borders under control, so they will be dropping back towards Prussia.

[bongo]

I have not discussed the matter of sweden with the Iron Prince in some time, and then not in much detail, but my impression were that he would keep a guard against them but not much more.

[Paddy]

Ok so that just leaves our combined forces, as you may have noticed I have unloaded the forces from Skagen outside of Husqvarna. I will bombard this city and may even attack it, but basically await your troops from the Oslo Adventure.

[Iron Jackson]

I´ll play my turn in a few minutes.
Troops are already on their way to the north of Sweden.
Actually it was Gustav who´s responsible for the start of my GA.
2 or 3 turns more and there will be enough troops to start an attack.

[bongo]

Resistance in Skagen has now ended, while the resistence in vejle and København are dwindling.

I'll land my first troops(8 units) southwest of oslo next turn. Followed by another 8 the turn after that. I don't think my forces will fill a third landing....

Forward to Battle

Friends!! a major road building development has finally reached completion through the Pyrenees mountain range to connect mainland Spain directly with Montauban. This has resulted in a massive economic boost to the area and all trade goods widely available in Espana can now be purchased in Montauban's very own market square.

Naturally this has greatly improved the mood of the French speaking populace, and has also encouraged Spanish migrants to settle their. Further improving stability and security within the region.

A second and more poignant benefit to our nation, is the increased manouverability this development poses for our armed forces. As you will see from the charts attached to this despatch, we now have in place sizable assets in place ready to undertake a siege and assault of the French city of Bordeux.

We had not anticipated being ready quite so soon, but as you can see we have every confidence in our assured victory in the coming months.

King Paddy we await your further insyruction and remain as ever your staunch Ally.

Good luck to all our Glorius allies in their upcoming trials, may the Lord God be with you all.

July, 1801AD Turn sent to Shogun.

[Shogun Gunner]

The battle for Belfort has commenced. French cavalry attacked my northern column killing two Hussar regiments. The two French cavalry will be dealt with next turn. Nothing will stop the Austrian army from seizing it's objectives!!!

Sultan Wittlich, my Interior Minister informs me that the roads around Venice have been cleared. In order to extend our hospitality, please enjoy a latte as you pass by Venice! Cheers!

Sept 1801 AD to King Paddy.

[Paddy]

My troops consolidate and look to their wounds.

Sultan Wittlich, a private communication has been sent to you regarding the fate of Florence.

Lord Iron Prince,
The roads are open for your armies.

Lord Chrisius,
You have a mighty Army there, my cannons have started to bombard the city. I bid you success in your attack.

Lord Gunner,
Tally Ho old chap. The battle is yours. Your troops do look so distinguished as they pass my on the road to France.

[bongo]

I just landed eight units SW of Oslo, more troops are waiting in Denmark....

This will be my last round for a while as I am going on a holiday, if you want someone to replace me, please let me know.

[Paddy]

How long will you be gone

[bongo]

I'll be back sunday, but only for the night, I'll be away for a week after that.

[Shogun Gunner]

Austria can "look over" the Prussian cities when you are away...

But when you get back you may find the Austrian empire has doubled in size

[bongo]

Better not tell you that the PW is 'gaiman' then

[Paddy]

well I got lost on that
