Imperial Dip 50: Fall 1872 Moves
My apologies about the ridiculous lateness. Thankfully just as I'm burning out and college is about to start, MDR will be coming back. But not yet. I would say get those builds in, except for the fact that I haven't entirely confirmed them yet. Here are some random doodlings of mine that might give you an idea of the rough builds you're getting- hopefuly I'll double check it after I get back from a short little vacation on Monday.
Hol: -Mad, -Uru, -Prt, -Ivc, -Bor, -Srw, -IJA
Eng: -Que, -Gre, +Bor, +Srw
Mex: +Mad, +Uru, +Que, +Prt, +Rho
Tur: -Rho, +Ivc
CSA: +Gre, +IJA
You know, when I was a player more often, I really hated those lazy GMs who couldn't provide builds & a map at the time of releasing the moves. But these world maps, ugh... I can play back entire games in my head on the standard map, but keeping track of just SC movement...
Press
"Mexico's forces are a bit too close for comfort. Perhaps a good whip from their Confederate owners would put them back into place"
"China's lapdog Britain should ditch their doomed European units and concentrate on defending the isles from the CSA"
TO CSA, Look at those CSA ragships run, hence the term running "away" rebels.
TO England: Hang in there China will help to kick those CSA migrants out of our turf.
Rally behind the Virginians! There stands Gen. Ruff like a stone wall.
"I hate the chinks. Every last one of them." (Stolen from a certain
honorable U.S. Senator)
Good-bye Dutchman. Your little fleets are now being smashed into little
bitty pieces.
The British are crying! The British are crying!
Recent polls in Mexico asked, "What is the difference between Turkish men and
women?" Most common answer, "The women fight better and have bigger
mustaches."
I see London, I see France.... gads, man! France looks a damn sight better
than London. It's going to take a hundred years or more to explain to these
British fools how they need to speak Amercian. The French complied within
hours. Why just look at Pierre now. "Y'all pass that Maisonasie, ya hear!,
Ahhh have to git dem burgers ready, allight?"
+
China: Come out in the deep water with that junk navy, and you'll see what
20" is all about. Your British whores tell us that 2" is more like it, but
they'll "love you long time" anyway.
+
El President Gerwaldo is the best. In Chicago "They think he's a righteous
dude!"
+
The Sultan of Orange is right up there with the Sultans of Swing. It is
President JDR VIII's extreme pleasure to present to the Sultan this fine
ivory coach to wheel His Eminence around Constantinople, Cairo, and Baghdad
at his liesure.
