GDNES2 - The Age of War

[Sheep]

With the attack of the Japanese fleets, the supply lines of all ALtin Armies are cut. With tthe exception of the Northern Army. The Northern Army meets the majority of the US 1st 3rd and 5th Armies. The Northern Army are rolled back into Canada, as US troops stop just inside Canadian territory, as per their promise to British authorities of non-aggression.

In the South, Argentine Armies are driven into the sea and captured. This is due to Latin;s lack of supplies and the technological advantage deployed by the Americans.

In the East California is completly liberated and the Latin Army is pushed into Baja California, as it tries to retreat from the American onslught.

The American government has asked Mexico to rid this menace once and for all, but due to bandits in the area the going is tough.

To Japan: We realise your willingness to opt out of war. However all is not loss. Grain is still being supplied and the bases the US have in the Philipines still active. We offer no danger. This is your chance to become a world power yet you throw it away like little children. We ask by our alliance that you reenter the war.

To all nations who attended Constantinople: We have attended, we are ready for peace, however we will not bow down to tinpot Emperor's. Their demands are not reasonable consider4ing they started the war. Britian helped to retain her superiority and not let America surpass it.

The people of the world need to realise that America fights for the just cause. Not the ill one. We believ in self-determination, The British or the LAtins do not. the British continue to rule Canada, the LAtins continue to conquer territory in South America. The American people are behind the war effort. Will you go behind the peaceloving people of America.

OOC: This is completely unrealistic. FIrst, I would note that the Japanese NEVER ACTUALLY DID ANYTHING TO HELP you but send economic aid and send a fleet that fought in one battle. They never cut off any supply lines, except the Californian one, and that was only very briefly before I attacked and brought reinforcements and supplies. They didn't even have a fleet in the Caribbean, I see no way you could srationally think they cut off any supplies there. Thus since the lack of supplies was a major reason for your victory in Louisiana, it never happened. My troops are still fortified there, though I suffered a good deal of losses. In California, you might have ahd a victory, but when I control all of California South and East of San Francisco and your forces are mainly in San Francisco and cut off from supplies and almost surrounded, I highly doubt you could have a crushing offensive victory. Maybe a small one, or maybe a crushing victoy defending the city, but not a crushing victory attacking an army about the same size. I do accept that I was defeated, but not driven all the way to Baja. And in the North, I would like to point out that much of both teh British and ARgentinian armies were there together. You sent such a large force against us that I accept that we could've been defeated and pushed back, but you wouldve suffered significant losses.

TO the World: What I said before. It merits repeating because the US continues to call us "tinpot Emperors," but I'm too lazy to type it all out again.

To Spain: This isyour chance fopr revenge for your defeat 10 years ago. I urge you to join the war.

Argentinian troops have withdrawn from California, but there is still a strong naval presence on the coast.

The defeated Northenr Army has gone through Canada and into Michigan, where it joined with teh BRitish and Midwest armies. From this combined army a relatively small force crossed the Appalaichans and besieged Washington for a few days. Although a US force quickly came to teh defense of the city, it was damaged by the Argentinian artillery fire. It is unkown whther any major government officials were killed or whether any major government buildings were hit. Meanwhile, the forces in the Midwest have continued to destroy railroads and cut off the rivers and now also the great lakes.

Build armored recon planes (giving us a tiny airforce): complete
Economy->Growing: 7 years (slowed by war)
Army->Huge: 3.5 years
Provisional Central American government to set up permanent government: 4 years

Ottoman Empire: Cool
UK: Very Friendly, Coalition against US
France: Limited Alliance, Friendly
Japan: Friendly
USA: Very Very Very angry, diplomatic relations cut off.
Brazil: Full Alliance, Very Friendly

To: Italy (Secret)
After this war why don't you attack spain and portugal take back iberia I'll help to do it. You could start a New Roman Empire.

[civman2000]

OOC: Very interestingn that the Ottomans, destroyer of the last "Roman empire" (well i guess if you count the holy roman empire that would be napoleon but i wouldn't) would propose making a new one.

[jdd2007]

Japanese efforts to modernize China have been paying off. China now has a medium-sized army well trained by Japanese advisers in modern warfare, and its economy is out of recession, growing steadily due to trade with Japan, which by now is a constitutional monarchy. Although the Emperor still has considerable power, the Parliament is good at checking his power.

OCC: It is in the my interests to have a strong ally so I'm going to help them. Rome wasn't destroy because the Ottomans hated them they were just in there path.

[civman2000]

OOC: I know, i just thought it was interesting.

Argentina has looked into and rejected building some of these "tanks."

[gooberboob]

Cuba's Military is now at the size of Medium in both the Navy and the Army. Cuban citizens are calling for a side to be taken in the World vs. U.S. and possibly Japan war. Cuba will side with the world unless the U.S. refuses to retract its statements and accusations regarding Latin American Leaders as tinpot emperors.

Resources gained by mass cigar marketing have boosted the Cuban Economy to (whatever a notch up from stable is).

Cuba expands it's industries to the making of rope out of hemp, which grows like a weed in our isles.

Cuba is also marketing cigars made out of more potent forms of hemp, which give the user a giddy reaction, and euphoric sensations. A case of Bob Marley's good time cigars is being sent to the leader of every nation as a gesture of peace and goodwill, not to mention good times.

Jose Rocalupe is up for reelection next year.

Cuban scientists are working on improving the arms of Cuban infantrymen.

((OOC: civman, Britain has some control in Cuban waters.))

[foolish_icarus]

Brirtain announces that it supports the American peace plan except fo the part about reparations being paid to Americn citizens from Argentina and brazil. That is unreasonable, everything else is acceptable.

Britain to Brazil and Argentina (SECRET) :

Enough fooling around. We shall all concentrate our naval forces off of the Delmarva penninsula (Delaware) for a push into the Chesapeake Bay. Prepare transports and equip your forces for a possible amphibious assault. We'll send tanks in through the Argentinian corridor and attempt to land them with boats, though there will undoubtedly be some difficulties with that. Let us also use our planes to our advantage. We are going to take Washington DC and hope that ends this.


Britain has contacted the New Zealand and South African regional governments and asked them to find out if there is any compromise/concessions that can be made short of all out independance.
