SNESA: Absolution

[foolish_icarus]

Greece to Druids:

umm, what comprises "the free peoples of the United Empire or its allies" ? We were just sort of planning on raiding anyone up there that wasn't European

[Metaliturtle]

To Rome: Stay out of Florida if you want Naval support to continue from Wisconsin.

To All nations on the Druid Side of the war:

Wisconsin has spent too much time and energy to back out of the war now. However, our neutrality can be bought if it is a sufficient enough contribution.

[Sheep]

To Greece: That is bascically it except leave the people under Roman occupation in Greenland alone as much as possible. We are trying to liberate them not hurt them.

[Cinna]

Texas: Your support is much appreciated. Perhaps we could sign a permanent alliance as well. As you may well know Rome needs friends. Her current ones are only fair weather and beginning to wear a bit thin. You are trusty and reliable, and in addition Rome admires your people. The same cannot be said for Rome's other "friends"

Wisconsin: Fine, as per your request we shall withdraw our claim to Florida. If you ask us you are acting like babies, but we are united in this war. Let us try to wrap it up now, as Rome has accomplished many of her objectives. Lets take a few more land possessions and put an offer on the table. We both have postwar issues that need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

[Metaliturtle]

To Rome: Agreed, our main issue is your encroachment on territory already inhabited by our people.

((other issues we'd rather discuss in PM to not give our enemies an advantage, as no extent of secret transmission goes unread))

I would like to take over Oregon.

I would like to take over Oregon.

[plexus]

then do so...

Oregon's Army is at the disposal of the Wisconsin commanders to help the American Alliance in Greenland

[Metaliturtle]

Wisconsin, with the newly constructed ships laden with fresh troops from Oregon Land behind Druidish lines in Greenland.

The Fresh troops are armed to the best that Oregon and Wisconsin can arm them, and the cooperation between the two nations has increased morale towards the war in both countries.

Quickly the Troops are able to split the Druidish territory, and are pressing hard to meet the roman forces in greenland to unite for a final fell swoop over the overextended Druids.

Wisconsinite military commanders do express regret for the burned buildings, and vow to rebuild them after the inevitable victory of the Americans.

To the World: Wisconsin is in this war untill Europeans stay EAST of Greenland, and the people support it until that point.

[Sheep]

To the people of Oregon, Texas and Wiscounsin: To continue to help a regime that feels not pity in burnining innocent civilians is not right. To continue to not show your governments your distate of continuing to allow a government such as Rome to dictate terms to others is not right. To continue to allow your governments to try and tear down the United Empire, and its democratic instituions is not right. The people of America deserve to be free not in captivity. Rome's hegemony over America must fall before you can prosper. I urge you to protest your involovement in this war a war of agression started on Rome over Druidish settlement in Eastern Greenland. I urge you to protest your involvement in a war that sees Rome urging its soldiers and its allies soldiers, your soldiers to burn villages that support the United Empire, with the hope that they will not last the winter. I urge you to protest this war as people like yourselves, are being killed by Roman Imperial ambitons.

[Metaliturtle]

To the Druids: They did not burn the people, just their homes, and we expressed regret that your war caused our allies to commit such atrocities.

The only war I see is the one you and your ally started on the United Empire after the failure by us to come to a satisfactory compromise. We never desired war, but your actions in invading us has made us resolve in liberating the people of Greenland and occupied Iceland from your grasp.

Update the Thirteenth: 3350

Rise up.

In every hand a pitchfork, on every tongue the cry.

Burning huts invariably behind then, Roman soldiers before them, the people of Druidish Greenland would take no such treatment.

The Druid army did not push back the advance, the Greenlanders did. They refused to be subjected to burnination.

On the other hand

Citizens in Roman Greenland, including many Greenlanders who took advantage of the new offerr mede by former General Corbulo, fully support these measures.

"It is for the good of the Empire that they die" quoth one Greenlander Citizen.

-

The Druid beachhead on SOuthern Greenland was pushed back by reinforcements from Rome and Wisconsin. Though they managed to begin a few small resistance groups this movementt is in no way influential and is rather fragile, as most Roman Greenlanders perfer Roman Rule.

-

One hell of a Naval Battle off the Coast of Iceland.

Taught lines held the bolt at bay, the Ballistae were armed.

Fog crept over the silent waves as an icy brime seeped across the ship. Huddled in their furs and armor the sailors watched the horizon for the new fleet, the Invaders.

The familliar 'thwak' of a ballistae firing resounded across the coastal waters. Every sailor stood, quickly groping te ship, readying bolts, the foreplay of battle.

A silence for an instant, a crash lit the ground as a flaming object struck the ground.

What the hell? The admiral watched, silent, afraid.

Sailors are the superstitious ones, they feared omens, any decent auger would tell you that flaming birds, falling from the sky wasa bad sign. It was under such a foretelling that the oars began to bat at the water. The Battle had begun.

Greece and Phoenecia triumphed in the waves, crushing the Wisconsinite fleet stationed in Iceland. The troops of Wisconsin in Iceland fared poorly as well, loosing land, for they lacked reinforcememnts while the Phoenecians, Greeks, Etruscians, Poles and Druids all pushed forward against them. Their armies are proving to be superior to the common troops of the Alllied armies, though the assorted UU's are causing great problems for them.

-

Australian and Urthalian forces pushed strongly into Vietnamese Islands.

-

Great Chunks of land were captured by the allies in Vietnam proper. The forces have found their way.

-

The Brazilian fleet, under Admiral Perry Gracie, reported to the Romans as they moved northward towards the Greenland Front.

-

The Carribean became a plaything this turn, a Roman colony established in Southern Floridia (White on Map, sorry) Texas Brazil and the Incas also staked claim in the Carribean.
