Bonaparte II PBEM Playtest

[Henrik]

Due to some strange bug my civ was controlled by the AI last turn (I did remember to hit CTRL-N, I know becouse I checked), I think it was becouse of this that war was declared against france (or vice versa).
All my units also had goto orders, so dont blame me if they have been trespassing...

Thus my statement about unconfiremed rumours in the preceding post

[Rattus_Norvegicus]

O Prussian Diplomat, Where Art Thou?

Lieber König des Preußiches Reich,

Ein bischen Frieden, das wünscht ich mir...Wir wollen ein Auto mieten, bitte.

What diplomats? Would have received them if they ever had approached the Swedish Court, which they certainly nicht did.

And do stop threatening Your friends and relatives. It's schlecht for Your reputation..

In other words; Fold your hands, child, you walk like a peasant!



Your faithful Brother
Gustaf Mauritz 'le beau Suéde' Armfeldt

Austria and Spain Enter Military Alliance
Madrid.- Austrian diplomats have announced that a new alliance has been reenacted with the Bourbon Kingdom of Spain. "A return to roots" Emperor Karreras has stated, as Spain and Austria renew their old ties formally in order to bring peace to Europe once again.

Skirmishes at Verona
Verona.- Artillery bombardment from the fortress outside Verona decimated a French regiment of unknown type as it attempted an assault on the walls. Meanwhile, just north of the skirmish, an Austrian regiment was destroyed by a French column after dealing heavy casualties on the French.

Liberation of the Balkans Proceeds as Planned
Sofia.- Writing from the newly conquered city of Sofia, two new balkanic cities have been liberated from the heathen Ottomans. Sofia, key city to proceed with the liberation of Greece, fell to a joint artillery and uhlan assault with no fatal casualties dealt on the Austrian regiments.
The city of Stara Zagora fell to an assault of Austrian hussars and musketeers and many have said that forces have amassed to go out to the conquest of Constantinople.

Alliance with Russia sought
Vienna.- Emperor Karreras has stated that in order to completely expel the Ottomans from the Balkans and drive them back into Turkey that the Russians have been invited to liberate the city of Varna. Emperor Karreras has also suggested that a Russian assault through Armenia would sucessfully engulf the Ottoman troops by opening a new front that would cause the total destruction of Ottoman power forever.

British ships on the Adriatic Blockaded
Split.- The Adriatic squadron scrambled after receiving news of an unannounced British warsquadron approached the Adriatic sea. The Adriatic has been successfully blockaded and Emperor Karreras has demanded to know the intentions of the British with this unannounced squadron sailing in Austrian waters.

Mikhail Strogoff has been deported to Siberia. Apparently his highness Wakexander got upset after realise that the liberation of Varna was published in the Austrian papers before it happened

After the "Treaty of the bleating sheep over the hill", Russia & Prussia noticed their phonetic similarities and declared war on Bonny as well as on his ally Clyde (Spain)

An old Russian proverb tells the history of the first King Wakexander who was fighting "alone" all the european powers. He crossed Armenia, Turkey and the middle east and reached Egypt "in a few years"

I haven't taken Egypt if it's that what you ask
I tried to warn John that it was too easy to do it when I played a single game

[Dr. Nick]

Did you declare war on me as well? I haven't liberated Varna, I'm leaving it to you as a sign of goodwill and I get a war declared on me?

Nope. I've only liberated Varna from ottomans.

Emperor Karreras has demanded to know the intentions of the British with this unannounced squadron sailing in Austrian waters.

This "squadron" is a frigate escorting a merchantman and traders bound for Sarajevo with Copper from British India.

I like your turn report, El Awrence.

Nice atmosphere. Although I think you and the Russians almost got into a misunderstanding....



Waku,

It's ALL too easy in a single-player game!

[Dr. Nick]

Emperor Karreras has stated that the British merchant ships ONLY will be allowed into Austrian waters. We request that you withdraw the frigate. Austrian vessels shall escort the merchantman from there on.

[Patient English]

Merchant escorts

The Admiralty is graciously pleased to allow the Austrian...navy...to escort our traders up into the Adriatic.

We are confident that the brave Austrian sailors will allow no harm to befall British subjects, and will clear a passage for them to land their cargo near Sarajevo.

Obviously, should harm befall our ships, cargo or men while they are under Austrian escort, suitable compensation must be paid...
