The Second Coalition - 22 June 1799

[Octavian X]

*Octavian puts 5g on France winning...

[Shogun Gunner]

bongo,

I believe Austria is close enough to France to be threatened as well. Remember, Austria was Napoleon's first conquest.

I may send a settler far east to build an emergency alternative capital. maybe we can make a deal, wittlich? Got a Turkish hill you don't need somewhere in the Caucasian mountains?

Great setup Paddy! Looking forward to this game!!!!

[bongo]

I started the scenario as preussia just to take a look. In the scenario, preussia is unaligned, it doesn't seem that hard to stay out of trouble long enough to build up some credible defence(note, this was with AI agression to average and monarch level). In this game however, we start in a locked alliance, which probably means that france is probably going to attack us from turn zero. Ah well, adds to the fun really. I'm doing so well in another PBEM that I need a beating now

Oh, you can't build settlers in this scenario btw.

[Paddy]

King Bongo II of Prussia,

It does the family good to note that you have your troops out training for the upcoming festivities in Paris.

Our very own garrison in Amsterdam have had the pleasure of witnessing some of your gallant Cavalry in their manouvres.

The garrison commander has orders to assist you in any way that he can, with the limited supply that he has available to him.

regards,
Thames House

[Wittlich]

So...any timeframe as to when we're going to launch this puppy?

[Paddy]

The turn has stalled in Russia,,,,....

Internal troubles and all that... seems the Czarina cut the DSL cable while the Czar was doing the bath scene as demonstrated by his friend Prince Akeem, in "Coming to America."

The save should be on its way to Prussia in the coming 24 - 36 hours.

Your patience is appreciated.

Got a mail from Pinko stating that he would be email-challenged until next week (wednesday?)

@Paddy , shouldn't my title have been König Bongo?

[Paddy]

Yes, well Czar Pinko and his Royal entourage are travelling via coach to my establishment to get this matter rectified... that is to move this along before Wednesday

As to titles Your Excellency, One would assume that to call you "Koing," that One would be writing the note in your specific language.

And as much as the french may have tried hard to become the language of diplomacy, One believes that you will see arise of the English language throughout the world.

As it is, with the sun never setting on the English Empire, their is some one speaking the English language in the light of day at all times. Marvelous what.

[Wittlich]

Ah yes...I received the same email - forgot about that.

[Shogun Gunner]

With the title of "Shogun" I guess I represent the Japanese royal family intermarrying with the Austrian Hapsburgs.....

No settlers...hmmm.... I've never even looked at this scenario once... I think I better do that just to take a look at the map if nothing else....

Oh yeah...Gustav is a PUNK.

[Paddy]

Life moves in mysterious ways.

One smiles as the courier departs...

the papers have been signed

the wax will dry en route to Prussia...

*The King and the Czar look across the Castle grounds, watching as the Royal couriers depart the grounds. Raising their glasses in a toast, they share a laugh at Bonapartes expense.*

[bongo]

Sent the save to Rey Chrisius 35 minutes ago but I may have screwed up as I played with an unpatched version of c3c.

Which brings up the next question, Have we agreed on a patch level yet? 1.12beta?

[Paddy]

It was all set up on my PC, which is set at Patch 1.12

[ChrisiusMaximus]

I got the save ok and have sent it on to Wittlich


One question Paddy, I thought this was supposed to be at Sid level ? only Im sure it said regent level when I loaded it up

[bongo]

I'll have it patced now then.

Oh, I happen to have some items for trade, 1 wine, 2 horses and 1 salpeter. Anyone in need for something?
