Replayed. Sorry about the rule, but I did just plain forget. Of course, this time around I managed to use two scout patrols to repel Flubber's entire invasion. I hope that's not too big of a deal?

I am hoping my troop s put up a stiffer resistence than that .


I hated essentially causing everyone else to have to replay the turn, but I had made a number of decisions based on that rule and your chopper attack was very successful in taking out units that would be much more difficult to kill otherwise.

Hi guys, I can finally do turns at home and have access to poly. Plus my leaving is delayed till the next Wednesday/Thursday, so I can do a few turns more. I'm going straight to England and am currently thinking if there's any way for me to continue the game down there.

Turn 2179 replayed and sent to Flubber.

If you have a computer wherever you go, you should be golden. Get a portable disk drive and install the game on it and bring that with the CD wherever you go. It saves having to install it on other people's computers

Chancellor flubber whacked the display screen again. The yearly data had seemed out of whack. Far too many of the Peacekeeping Expeditionary Force were listed as KIA or MIA. It was beyond all reasonable projections.. The new data was expected shortly and the chancellor fervently hoped that the results would look better--
" If the data is not better, our armed forces will be badly hurt. I only hope that this invasion does not come to be viewed as "Flubber's Folly"

2170 on to fosse

"Status report"

"Chancellor . . Operation MARKET GARDEN was a success-- BUt sir . . . We have concerns.. We all viewed the historical video " A Bridge Too Far" . The lesson seems to be that paratroopers may initially attain their objectives but such operations are often doomed."

" We also viewed that vid in the planning. The joint chiefs felt that, while the paratroops would be vulnerable, the ability to resupply and reinforce by multiple methods should distinguish this from its namesake in the Second Great Earthwar. I only hope they are right. The projections were that denial of those production facilities would cripple the UN war effort. Most of those troops only need to hold on until the new year but they are so lightly armed that I fear for them

Guys, I'm leaving probably on Tuesday. I'll try to round up a CD copy of SMAX (I can't afford a pen drive at the moment), and if I manage, I shall take up the game in a week's period. I'll let you know soon.

[Flubber]

Is the turn still with fosse ??

[Kirov]

Wanted to ask the same. Good news is, I'm staying in Poland probably till Monday (that's not a good news for me, but still), and I probably will get a SMAX CD, but I'd still like to do a few turns before I leave.

[Fosse]

Not anymore. Just sent it this morning after a long and crazy weekend.

excellent-- I shall be most interested to see what your counterstroke looks like

[Senethro]

Bases deleted, game conceded without waiting for anyone else now. Password is "military". Theres one last base that I didn't have the movement points to get, if someone wants to finish it off.

wow-- unexpected . .. I thought for sure you would look to gas the crap out of me and try to repair relations with Kirov and go 2 vs 1 if I could manage to finish fosse.



With the threat you pose to me eliminated, I can refocus back to economy and industry and should out-distance Kirov unless there are surprises of which I am unaware.

I actually had been looking at what invading you, senethro, would entail and frankly I didn't like my options at present. You would largely have been left alone, for a while anyway.

[Senethro]

Yes, crossing the water between us was not going to be an easy task, especially without my ally. I could have thrown gassies at your bases and choppers at your crawlers but its a losing strategy, not a winning one. It would have kept me alive longer, nothing else.

Fairly or unfairly, I lay part of the blame for your current air power on Kirov.

I see it as only proper that now he should have to deal with you.

Very tough-- Transports would not make it and our land link was a deathtrap for years so the only real way in was by airdrop

Ya I was actually trying to plan to get every crawler near you under interceptor cover but instead I think I would have tried to stack them with cheap ground troops.

My alternate plan for other areas was to empty the bases and retreat crawlers to make your trip for good targets tougher

I agree in the circumstances even though plinking Fosse's crawlers was a big part of my attack plan

Well I stole HEC from you -- and IIRC I would have acquired airpower before anyone else did anyway once I got HEC that way. But all my deals with Kirov were very fair in that we both got to techs much faster.

Part of the fault there goes to Kirov and my very real fear of you. Because of the threat you posed, kirov felt he needed airpower faster and I was the route to that. I also allowed him the cyborg factory guaranteed as part of the deal


Overall the diplomacy with your Spartans in this one was quite interesting. I usually go with a more subtle approach but yours was probably a necessary avenue when you ahve the Spartans in a game where there is no AI to subjugate
