Turn 203 ==> Sophix
The WISE have today released more information on the war with the impure and degenerate race and their weak minded ally.
Details were sketchy, but it appears that the Northern border with Egypt, despite constant bombardment and attack, is holding its own. Reports flood in of Egyptian deaths, the likes of which have never been seen before.
It is apparent that The WISE are privy to more information than this, but it has been deemed unwise to allow it into the public domain at this time. -
The upstart Japanese have been swatted aside like the Welshspawn they were...!!!
Already the victorious Roman armies are massing themselves for the push into the septic heart of the evil Welsh Fascists! Down with Demos - freedom for our Welsh comrades, enslaved by the War Machine of the extreme right!

Turn 204 ==> Sophix
Victory at Llandarcy!
News reached Cardiff today of the Welsh triumph at Llandarcy, northernmost city in the Welsh Empire. The city, which has been under siege from the beginning of the Egyptian campaign, has bravely held out against the hordes of the impure and degenerate Egyptian race.
The WISE reports that a few remaining pikemen were seen fleeing the area in terror, but would not comment on whether a pursuit was being mounted.
At the same time further west, the city of Pontypridd was attacked by a small scout force, which succeeded in knocking out a number of vital trade routes. However, this scout group was part of a larger Egyptian strike force northwest of Llampeter that has been tracked by The WISE for some time now.
Stories have been flooding into The WISE headquarters about the terrible slaughter of Japanese at Caernarfon. Brutal murders and destruction are said to have been wrought throughout the city, with the torture of innocent civilians also reported.
In a public address, the Welsh Fuhrer Demosthenes stated:
"It is sad to hear that kindred members of the superior Welsh race have been subjected to such violence and humility, but the northeast region of Wales has been bordering the Roman Empire for some time, and so it was inevitable that at least some Roman impurity would seep into their souls. They chose their fate when they declared thier independance."

Turn 205--> MOBIUS
The war between Egypt and Wales has moved from the battlefield to the courtrooms, as Egypt offers their response to Welsh lawyers, while indulging in a little legal action of our own.
We hope that this new venue, which while in some ways even more hideous and barbaric than the carnage of armed combat, will save Welsh and Egyptian youth from being ripped asunder in senseless slaughter.

Rome is disappointed that her Ally has been unable to smash the evil Fascists in open combat...
As for the terrible slaughter at Caenarfon, it is true that fully half of the population were paid up members of the ruling party which holds Wales in it's iron grip...
As enemies of the state it was obvious that we could not indoctrinate them with the communist ideology of Rome and therefore they had to be made an example of and put to death lest they poison and corrupt the populace!
However the rest of the populace, as with those of Pentraeth and Llandudno have welcomed their liberators with open arms and are indeed a welcome addition to the Soviet!
Our work is not done here...

Turn 206--> MOBIUS
Here me well Demosthenes of Wales:
Should you continue this ill-conceived move toward Cairo, you will be set upon by an Egyptian Army whose size and ferocity will make you regret that rash decision. Consider the bite that has been inflicted upon your army this turn as a gentle warning.

Turn 205 ==> Sophix
Learned scholars in Cardiff today debated the somewhat hypocritical use of capitalism and market forces by the Communist state of Egypt. It seems that the
'principles' that this inferior race hold sacrosanct are easily dismissed upon the whim of it's degenerate leader.

Turn 206 ==> Sophix / Rick
Fascists of Wales rejoice that their antipodian brethren have joined them on the battlefield against the impurity of Egypt. It is hoped and expected that the combined might of the Fascist race will now sweep across the plains of Egypt, liberating the people from their communist tyranny, purifying them and assimilating them into the superior race.
General Rick, no Fascist movement is "ill-concieved". Perhaps your recent move to commander-in-chief of the degenerate forces is the reason for your rash statements, but Wales has already fended off the Egyptian army of "size and ferocity", without any regrets.
I put it back to you to "consider the bite that has been inflicted upon your army this turn as a gentle warning", and inform you that the Fascists of Wales enjoyed the taste and are hungry for more.

Turn 207--> MOBIUS
An Open Communication to the leaders of Wales and Australia:
Gentlemen,
As acting Commander of the nation of Egypt, I inherited a hot war between this country and Wales. It was not my place to make peace, but I attempted to move the conflict to the courtroom, where it was hoped that lives could be spared.
Unfortunately, stacks of Welsh soldiers continued to move against our cities, so I felt forced to send off a warning volley in hopes that they would not continue their advance.
But this advance continues, and many Egyptian soldiers have been killed this day. In addition, the nation of Australia has decided to attack simultaneously, and many more Egyptians have been killed.
I had hoped that this war would cool during Sophix's absence, but this has not been the case. So I will ask you both this question:
Would it not be more seemly to wait for the return of he with whom you have these grievances? What satisfaction will there be to continue this with a mere surogate?
I ask that a cease-fire go into effect until the return of the true leader of Egypt. For my part, I have ordered the armies of Egypt to fall back, pending your decision. Furthermore, Egypt will agree to cease ALL hostilities as long as I am in charge.
It is hoped that this will not be taken as a sign of weakness, but instead understood as the reluctance to continue actions of this magnitude in the absence of the true leader of Egypt.
General Rick

Guys,
I concede that Rick has a justified point. As the situation has become so tense perhaps it is wise that we stall the game , we do have to think about Sophix. I bet he's enjoying the intensity of this game as much as I and I wouldn't want him to miss out on it after all the time we've put in. (Besides, I wouldn't want him to have an excuse either!)
Put it this way, if I where going to be away I would ask that the game paused until I returned. Even though I could trust a sub to do the job for me, as I do in other games, I would (and have) ask for a pause
This game has built up so much from a complete love-fest, to which I take a large percentage of blame into a complete and total war in each and every aspect.
Selfish as it is, I wouldn't want to miss anything, and I can only apply the same courtesy to Sophix, so I suggest that we pause and wait for Sophix to return.
Rick, this request is not to be taken as a comment on your gaming ability, and so please don't be offended. And please do not think that Lung or I where trying to take 'advantage' by launching an attack as soon as Sophix is off the scene The turn of attack was planned in advance, and I got so carried away in the build-up that I didn't think about Sophix missing anything.
Sorry about the lengthy explanation and all that
Please state if you object, otherwise I will consider you in agreement.

Cariad,
Demosthenes.

Actually, I'm in complete agreement, Demosthenes. And no offense is taken.
Nothing that Sophix said to me indicated that he expected things to come to a head while he was gone, and I'm sure that he would regret missing the chance to be a part of all this action.
And as you said, you wouldn't want to be in the position of letting Sophix blame me in the unlikely event that things didn't go well for Egypt (not that THAT would ever happen!)
Anyway, he'll be back in 4 days, so keep your powder dry until then!
If you do wish to continue with a cease-fire in effect until the 29th, that would also be fine with me, so if that's the case, just post your decision here.
Rick

Lung the Legendary could no longer tolerate the very real threat of an Egyptian invasion, so the serious decision to take the initiative and attack first was made.
The impure race of the Egyptians threatened to pollute the world's entire population
- a threat that must be subdued.

Coming to the rescue of our beleaguered comrades, an audacious attack has been mounted by the People's Aremy of Rome into the soft underbelly of the evil Fascist aggressors! After brushing aside a Fascist unit with secondary elements, a full nine divisions of Elite Roman Cavalry Liberated the benighted Fascist city of Caerphilly!!!
This move has cut off the Fascist city of Taffs Well, where even now elements of Red Army General Mark Anthony's Southern Hammer Army Group are converging!
Stand fast Comrade Sophix! Rome will rescue you in your hour of need!
