I write to you to ask if you will grant me a Monopoly on trade between the rich regions of the "aligator" contenent, and the Apolyton Empire. The opening up of these new trade routes will greatly improve the commerce of your empire, and increace standards of living for the people. As I played an intriate part in the Civil War, I beleve that the government owes me.

TO Drako Chuko

How about being the Trade Advisor, where you will be responsible for all of the Apolyton's trade routes?

To Field Marshall Easthaven I:
If you really want to go to the front you can, as I can trust you to lead the troops. If you want to also send your Fox Riders you can. I will stay in Apolyton and run things from here. I need to rest up a bit after all that fighting in Apolyon.

OOC: does it matter? there is so many foreigners in Apolyton that having one as Trade Advisor would matter all that much. Besides, he killed the evil cousin, so he deserves citizenship and the position


October 1400

While waiting for the Moderator's response concerning having the Admin Palace in Vegeimen and renaming the city. She also informed ARM of the situation and that we may succeed in having a peaceful revolution, unless they want a complete republic instead of a constitutional monarchy. That is why she noted that they can work on that as a future project, but for now, it is the best we can have without bloodshed.

Ah! A thought just came to her mind, why not rename Vegeimen City to Mingapulco! Sends a message to the moderator with the idea.

occ: If no one objects I would like to set up the new intellegience organisation.... I could play both Liam Sheep and the new chief until either one is killed

[Lord Zalzabad]

Sorry, I don't know what month it is!

But I think it is November the 6th

I thank you humbly and deeply for this great honour of citizenship you have bestowed on be. I will gladly take up the rank of Trade Advisor, and the subsequent posts.

Proposion of War Plan
Two attacks from flanks followed by a massive offensive from American Front.

If the enemy retreats, Iroquois units would quickly move in and try to outflank retreating EU forces blocking their way back to London.


EDIT: Sorry its quite difficult to read:
Apolyton Navy 1st/2nd Fleet

Apolyton Units mainly Cavalry
Infantry Artillery

Iroquois and Minor allies.

Giovanni Vodka waked up after a three days sleep.
His shoulder had been medicated, but when he was touching it, it was still hurting him.

"Goodmorning" said Camp Doctor Polpetta

"yawn... good morning doc"

"I'll alert Field Marschall Thunderfire of you waking up, he asid he wanted to talk with you"

"ok"

After about 10 minutes Thunderfire entered the small tent in which Giovanni Vodka was staying

"oh Goodmorning, did you sleep well?"

"yes sire, very well"

"good good.... so... last day, you told me that your brother is in America right?"

"right sire, I know he is now leading a small group of exiled englishman, they want to attack England, and kill Queen Elizabeth, and many of the high government officers"

"uhmm... a good goal indeed, how are they going to achieve it?"

"Giovanni Cognac wife, with who I'm writing letters, told me that once she heard that my brother and his men were planning to hide on the mountains north of England, they knew that America is at war with England now, and they wanted to wait for the british army to pass through the mountains and kill their regiments"

"uhmm, a surprise attack, how many men can your brother count on"

"i think a little more than 200"

"That's way a too small group, they are going to be killed, they may win some battles if they stay on the mountains, where the numbers doesn't count too much, but they'll end up dead if they fight on plains"

"I don't know sire, but i know my brother is very strong, he may look a bit dumb sometimes, but he is a real expert on the art of war"

"uhmm, thanks a lot Giovanni Vodka, those informations will be very useful for the Empire of Apolyton"

and he walked away from the tent, after he went out he said to one of the guards.

"make sure he stay on the camp, I don't want him to walk around, he knows too many things, and might be dangerous to let him free to do what he wants"

"yes master" replied the guard

Saluti

OOC: It's up to you mmtt to use those infos in a useful way.

TO Field Marshall Jack

I don't think that plan will be achievable until sometime next year, as our Navy will take awhile to defeat the English navy and blockade their cities, especially their Man'O'Wars. This offensive will cost us a lot, especially in terms of ground units.

(OOC: most of the english navy is off their eastern coast or in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean. Rest are located at Hudson Bay.)

Proposed Plan

Operation Coastal Conquest

Here's a plan that won't need a navy but will need over 150,000 men at the least, more would be better. This plan will serioiusly wound Royal Navy capabilities. By English ports being in Apolyton's control the English ships will not be able to come back for food, water, supplies, or repairs. They will be easy prey for Apolyton Frigates. Also, the first few ships to dock at England not knowing we have control over English ports would be sabatoged by my men. Also, these ports are a major place of commerce for the English empire, their trade will also be hampered.

For the Eastern Coast Campaign(ECC) I suggest 80,000 men plus 200 cannons (at the least). The Iroqious or French(if they enter) will launch an offensive against the southern English port city at the sametime we do. They will also launch offenses from the southwest going northeast to give the English two wide fronts. Two of the crucial Iroqui (or French) objectives is the capture or destroy the saltpeter mines and Iron mines taking out two of the English's vital strategic resources.

For the Northern Coast Campaign(NCC) I suggest 90,000 men plus 250 cannons. A few musketmen/swordsmen regiments will be needed to fortify the northwestern hills. Also, on their offensive they will run into another saltpeter mine and will either destroy it or capture it and fortify it. I would prefer them take what they can use then leave it burned and buried.

20,000 men will be need for a short offensive against the English city that is at the center of the English border with America. 50 cannons should be enough support.

For these offenses a follow up of Musket Regiments will be useful in fortifying liberated cities.

Operation Through the Heart
Meanwhile, 15,000 to 20,000 of my Fox Riders (15 to 20 Regiments) will make a deep push into the enemy's heart, London. They will circle London and pillage every road, farm, and aquaduct they get their hands on. Then they will fortify the Londonian mountain until reinforcements arrive. The Londonian Mountain will be a crucial chokepoint for our forces.

Speed is the key.

Many knight regiments in both ECC and NCC will be transformed to Fox-like Regiments in order to increase speed.

Again, the more men we can scrounge up the better.

This is a plan for the first offensive into England, if you wish to use Thunderfire's plan you will have my support, although this could be put together faster since the use of Naval ships is not necessary.

To Field Marshall Easthaven 1:
I like your plan and was thinking along the same lines, taking the English ports will cripple the English navy and their trade they conduct with other nations. The only thing I dont like is turning all of our knight units into Fox Riders. I would rather you train as many Fox Riders as you need in America and send them in to England. Once the ports are taken we need to follow up the attack with a full enagement of the English ships before they have a chance to escape to one of their allies and resuply their ships there. If this plan works we may very well be able to destroy most of the English navy.

I would also sugest sending millitary officers that are highly trained to our allies to help them in the planing and fighting the war and training their troops.

I'll set up training camps in America, for the upcoming offensive.

Consider it done.

To Mellian: Vegeimen City it shall be. I approve of it being renamed to Mingapulco. I also think it might be a nice idea to rename Edkoro to Republic City.

To the Great Moderator of Apolyton:
I have been hearing about a movement with in Apolyton that wants a new form of government called a Republic. I wanted to know if you knew anything about this and what your postion is on the matter?

[mmtt]

To Field Marshalls:
I reckon Easthaven is better than mine but there are two major inconvenients.
-A large front with only small supply line. If the offensive must last longer it's not sure our men will have enough ammo and food to counter enemy counter-offensives. Small local counter offensive could crush our communication to America and thus Apolyton.
-Our troops will be attacked from two sides. Fast enemy cavalry units will try to break our fronts in weak points with the support of the British Navy and European Union forces.

A way could be to unite both coast fronts but it will be to a huge coast.

Also you must remember that our enemies have fortress and strongholds along American border. It will take long before they fall and our communication lines will be under threat.

British Navy will sail to different ports and if they aren't destroy they still are a threat. An amphibious attack would be devastating to our long front.

In short, to counter your plan the enemy has only to build more and more keypoints along American border using the moutains chain. Passing through it would cost us a lot of men and a lot of times. Meanwhile enemy reinforcements will come in. We also aren't sure about our allies. Will they help us if we can't break the line?

I'm vetoing this plan.
-----------------------
We need also to know enemy positions and number.

We shouldn't attack now and I have also heard about a Republican group. Remember, if we win, we are powerful, if we lose we fall...
