[bongo]

Things to do ..places to be..

[ChrisiusMaximus]

Over to Sultan Wittlich

Sultan it is good to see your forces finally arrive in the region, good hunting and good luck

[Wittlich]

Thanks Lord Maximus - a long journey indeed.

Lord Paddy, you can start bombarding when ever you're ready.

Jan, 1802AD Turn sent to Shogun.

Orleans Falls to the Austrian Army

We lost three Grenzer regiments our assault on Orleans. The French resistance is growing stronger as we push into the heart of France. My Chief of Staff informs me that our glorious armies have outrun their supply wagons. Food, ammunition and rest is needed for our troops. As of today Jan 10, 1802 - the Austrian army has no planned offensives and will concentrate on consolidating the captured French cities and territories.

I must advise our allies of the strong strategic positioning we now hold in France proper.

1. A Hussars regiment holds the ground in the southern Paris suburb. The French are none to happy about our Hungarian lads chasing the French girls about -- especially in sight of Napoleon's palace. .

2. A Hussars regiment holds the grasslands East of Nantes. Again, the boys are tired of war and are enjoying French wine and women.

3. A Hussars regiment holds a strong defensive position in the forest south of Nancy.

4. A Grenzer regiment holds the hills northeast of Limoges. Our observers report a strong British presence east and south of the Limoges. Obviously, King Paddy is on the verge of capturing Limoges.

The Austrian army is prepared to bring significant artillery support in bombarding any of these cities. Please send an encoded message by courier to my Defense Minister if you wish to utilize Austrian assets in this region.

March 1802 to King Paddy.

Mar 1802

Napoleons days are numbered... there will be NO march on Russia for this little corporal...

Onto the Iron Prince

[Iron Jackson]

Good news from the generals of the Russian army.

A hard fight and the loss of 2 cossacks had the result that Norrsundet is now a russian city.

Another hard fight and the loss of some more units brought a victory over the french troops inside Nancy which is now a russian city as well.

-> onto Bongo

[bongo]

Napoleons last city in scandinavia has fallen! Oslo is now on Preussian hands. 3 brave Preussian cavalry units will never again see 'das Vaterland'.

Civil unrest is still causing problems in Denmark, nothing serious, just a nuisance.

Lord Iron Jackson. My troops will need 2 turns in Oslo to heal and upgrade(They may throw a party as well ) They will then be ready to march into swedish territory. I'm looking forwards to a joint campaign then. Do you think we should both move towards Stockholm or do we aim for separate targets?

King Paddy, sent you a royal lump of gold this turn as payment for the techs.

[Shogun Gunner]

Bongo, was that the Espionge tech? If so, that was from me, you Austrian neighbor. However, King Paddy, please keep the gold. You have contributed greatly to the overall success that we all enjoy now.

Welcome back Bongo!

[bongo]

So it was from you? Well, that empty 'accepted' offer puzzled me a bit. Didn't bother to think things over until after I sent the save...Oh well, we'll see what's in my coffers when I'm done upgrading my cannons.

[Paddy]

Yes, my bad...

Lord Gunner sent me Espionage.

Then near the ned of my turn, I conducted trading with you all to deliver maps and advanced tactics (ok I cannot remember which one at the moment...) At this point I just sent all maps and tech to each of you... my apologises on this.

[ChrisiusMaximus]

on to the Sultan, Napolean looks well stuffed.

Shogun I too have rerwarded Paddy for Espionage, I will see what I can send you next time

Thanks to you both for the wonderful techs

[Wittlich]

Marseilles has fallen! The Ottoman Empire has entered their Golden Age! A contingent of Ottoman Sipahis are now heading towards Paris to assist in the siege of the French capital.

I will have Seapower finished next turn and it will be sent to everyone.

Lord Paddy, I have handed back Florence to you. Thanks for the use of your fair city.

Mar, 1802AD Turn sent to Shogun.

May 1802 to King Paddy.

Congratulations Sultan Wittlich!!!!

King Paddy, thank you for the science advance. Grand Batteries stare down the remaining French army. We are untouchable, my friends.

My forces are poised in the south outskirts of Paris. Napoleon is a fool! He mocks me from the balcony of his castle. I shall light a charge under his buttocks.

[Paddy]

Ahh you have wise words there good friend...

and as the fool heckled you, my Household Guard charged Paris from the North... please feel free to visit the once proud city of Paris, and take home as much as you can carry

Onto Iron Jackson
