Turn to Maestro.

News from the HQ:

Seem to me like the Spanish Bulls are silent now?! Don't they like my tactic? Hit, turn and let the bull pass, hit again - they will bleed to death! Just as a bull in the arena!

Message to the commander of the spanish piratship - I'll find you and destroy you - just I had found your fellows. Leave or die!

Phoenician destroyers on a special task spottet a spanish destroyer east of the spanish main island. As they had their orders - the knowledge was passed on to the phoenician airforce. No problem, they answered.

And so it wasn't. One attack and the spanish destroyer was sunk. Only small damages on one of our aircrafts.

A Spanish spy was caught near the city of Chiba, the beating heart of our glorious internet network. He was killed on sight.

Let it be known to the Spanish that, although we do not plan any retaliations, any unit too close to our borders will be attacked without warning.

Our special units remain vigilant.

turn 229 to Swissy

[Swissy]

To the Egyptians, please note the change in the border.

Turn 229 - Don

[Flandrien]

Turn to Maestro.

HQ reports: Nothing really NEWS to report - war going on as usual.


It is not exacly rocking for the spaniads - most rocks fall into their heads......

From my interceptors!


Ohh - by the way. Intelligence has informed me about a troopship south off the Hasdrubal Peninsular. Nearly same place, where on of my wodden ships were lost - shot to matches???.

I send my glorious battleship flotille - it found a spanish battleship - not a troopship. A tremendous firestorm lightned up the sky. Only 10 minutes after, the spanish battleship was no more. No spaniard sailor survived, I'm afraid. But we didn't find any from the phoenician SOTL either.


To show my ally, what the situation are - not much unfortunately - I have allowed their reporters a short visit into the heart of the phoenician HQ. They has not been allowed to photograph my military map - but they was allowed to take detailed notes!


Hasdrubal - Highest Comrade of the Phoenician People - Marskal of 1.st degree of the victorious Phoenician Armed Forces.

[Flandrien]

So the Spanish have finally invited the Egyptians to join the party.
Well, a great party it will be.


turn 230 -> Swissy

[TheBirdMan]

Turn to Maestro.

Silent comments from Hasdrubal - to himself. Thinking of his next move:

Borders ARE changing. Indeed they are. I just wonder, what the spaniards are doing - fighting the egyptians in their lands while they cannot defend their own?

To show the world - my map has been offered to everyone. And that's not a sign of peace! The war has to go on.

Are a Child ruling the spaniards? Or has El Cid been too close to a wild bull?

I don't know - but now also the germans are talking about piracing. And I do indeed know, that it is not my ships - I do not have any there. But I know the spaniards has.

And what about Hamilcar. What do I do to him? Something has to be done - persuade to join? Kill? Keep in exile? No - this has do be decided later. One thing at a time and now the spaniads are most important.

We have pirated a Spanish ruby trade route.
It was running through no less than six Egyptian cities.

What else could we do ?

With active defenders in almost all cities, Phoenicia under the temporary rule of General Sophix, feels both safe and secure. Although attacks were not continued this turn. Next turn we promise that Spain will again be awash in blood and sorrow.

General Sophix, denied charges that his plans are unnecessarily ruthless; stating that the kindest war is a quick war. Just as a cut with a sharp knife is kinder than that a slash of a rusty blade, so will be strikes performed on Espanol. He promised to exact his mercy upon the Spanish until they see reason, or until he his replaced

[TheBirdMan]

Ed - you have send the turn to me on 1.okt 2000.

Does that mean, that the game has stopped since?

[Swissy]
