And the save.

Since Henrik seems to have problems with 'polly right now, and since he mailed this to all of us, out of consideration for the audience ...

As French official reports have been critized for leaving out thier own
casualties I will begin with the casualty count for this turn:
One boarding party was lost
Two Grenadiers
One Cavalry

Acheivements:
Two English Man of wars destroyed in the port of Exeter by shore raiding parties.
The English city of Exeter was seized and fortified by the French armed forces.

French troops inadvertedly trespassing in Dutch has been withdrawn,
France wishes the United Provinces no Harm.

The Spanish Authorities prefer to keep silent about the number of casualties suffered but this time they will make an exception:

Report on the take of Mosquito Coast

-Stockade destroyed
-Merchantman sunk
-Privateer sunk
-Demi Culverin destroyed
-Boarding Party executed
-Couple of Pirates executed

Spanish Casualties:

-none

The city of Mosquito Coast now rightfully controls a banana plantation

The Spanish Pride has been avenged.

1712 - a bit late, sorry!

The taking of Fort Anne wiped out an English Musketeer regiment, three Scottish/Irish Clans, a Galleon, and a Merchant ship. One French Grenadier unit was seen to be slightly damaged.

The attack on Plymouth destroyed the Old City Walls there, a Trades Goods unit, and a Man 'o War and a merchantman resting in the harbour. In addition, a Man o' War in Canada supported by Plymouth was lost. (I HATE that rule!) In Fort Albany, the Stockade was destroyed and the settlement taken.

Another merchant vessel - empty - was sunk off Cornwall. Apart from Fort Albany and Plymouth, the abandoned Port Francois was occupied by the French. A Galleon was sunk in the harbour at Tortuga by a single raiding party.

As the Bourbon alliance are not posting their casualty reports, I will do it for them:

For all this, the French lost one Grenadier and one Dragoon regiment. Indeed a great success for French Arms.

The English counterattack saw an encroaching Grenadier battalion near Fort Niagara routed. English casualties were heavy, however. As many English Grenadiers as French were killed, and the English Fort artillery was ruined in the effort. Fresh re-inforcements were rushed into the fort.

In Devon, an advanced French Dragoon regiment was counter-attacked by our Dragoons, and our men were victorious. Re-inforcements to meet the French forces now established in Plymouth were rushed up. The Royal Navy sortied from Portsmouth and Exeter and two French ships of the line were sunk. It was fortunate our ships were so close to their home ports, however, as they were fearfully knocked about and will take years to repair fully.

In the St Lawrence estuary, an attack was mounted upon the Fort at Ile St Jean, which was easily taken, for no loss. An English naval squadron at once rebased there (along with significant land forces in support) and immediately destroyed a Spanish Man o' War lurking off the coast.

Despite these successes, the peace-loving traders of England are finding it hard to fight off the two large Bourbon powers. Although our Dutch co-religionists have made it clear that they do not wish to become involved, we would point out that, if England falls, they are likely to be next.

1713 - supplement. A counter attack by three Dragoon regiments on Exeter was brushed of with NO French casualties! (Why are my attackers so poxy?! )

The English peace party is making significant gains in Parliament...




OK, that's it. File emailed to Chris (and you all) as Poly has been flaky.

[Chris 62]

I never got it.

I think we should move the game to Civfanatics, as Poly is to erratic.

When I get the save, I'll post a thread in the scenario forum at CFC, aas "Colonies PBEM".

It won't be a problem, as I'm the Mod for that forum.

Well, we are back, due to site changes at CFC, and rather then see our game die, it returns here.
