Cross, Quill and Swords

[unmerged(27214)]

In bullet-point form:

-Austria and England DOW France. Prussia later joins against France. France surrenders, giving up Calais and the Rhineland to England and Austria. Prussia recieves Zwolle and Freisland in return for services rendered.

-Prussia signs a non agression pact with France.

-Austria and England attack France and are victorious again, Austria recieving two Italian provinces and England recieving several Indian provinces.

-France attacks the Anglo-Austrian axis. Prussia later joins, this time on the side of France. Prussia initially suffers terrible defeats (losing 600 warships I had built that session and losing control of a swath of territory from Holstein to Berlin to England), but later rallies, Friedrich the Great killing Cumberland and destroying the English expeditionary force of over 150k soldiers. Meanwhile, the English fleet is defeatd by the French, so they are no longer able to invade Northern Germany. Austria is eventually invaded, Friedrich making quick work of Austrian forts and armies before peacing for Breslau and Liegnitz. France remains at war with England and Austria at session end.

Gaius subbed the OE, but seemed pretty flakey. Lifford was his usual narcoleptic goliath Russian self. Denmark and Spain were ghosted.

So, Prussia decided to backstab when getting Friedrich... Pretty normal i would say...

MMh, impressive that people didnt attack the one who subbed the OE.

Go figure, I don't know everything. Who would have guessed?

 

[admiral drake]

if you pay attention you probaly would have

anyway bb got off easy cause wolfe died in a random batle that he won

... Just copied your post to the main forum Drake. Hopefully we'll get some more interest there. Perhaps even DSY will make a return, looks like he's back which is great

Last session was a lot of fun ... to watch Watching Wolfe march his way through Prussia brought back old memories of having Drake march Wolfe into my southern France in support of Spain.

The last 70 years should be quite fun now that Russia has caught up to the gang. If we get the players then KJ's Napoleonic Blitzkrieg should be fun to be involved with.

 

[BurningEGO]

I will try my best to be there... Start praying and crossing fingers.

 

[fraese]

I'll try to make it as well.

 

[unmerged(1631)]

I'll try to make it as well.

Perfect. Thanks

Bonjour O Monarchs

It looks like we'll have the 3 subs we'll need for today (Casluerj, Frasese, and Burning Ego) providing their schedules remain free. It should be a fun session tonight with hopefully a full boat.

See you guys in 6hours

Curse That darned fleet of yours and that big assed cannon army I thave to add that to my list


... lots of fun though eh?

PS. I have to get the Cone of Silence going around the computer desk. You guys wouldn't believe the cacaphony that went on around here, kids, wife, dog, phone.... especially the naggy wife

 

[admiral drake]

k if danish don't get a perm by next session its gonna go ai and onlimits i gues

now best way to solve this probaly is devide them like this
-russia finland-baltic
-bb sweden-north germany(including skane)
-england islands+norway and continental danish core(the 2provs north of holstein)
-spain gets Na
-frence and austria get danish treasury (split between the 2)

ofcourse take it ingame xept treasury but its roughly what i suggest tbh

either that or we drop some parts of denmark and oflimits rest for a while but its annoyng for me and bb to have this artificial ghosting crap forever (or subbed occasionally)

if we do this i suggestwe onlimit baltic-Na islands-germany so denmark gets restraint to scandinavia mostly

Curse That darned fleet of yours and that big assed cannon army I thave to add that to my list

One thing that i didnt understand... what hapened to your fleet? did i totaly sink it? I didnt even see. But ye, 800 canons and 100.000 infantry totaly obliterated your armies, in 1 second during fire phase... even with leaders...

I wish you had sent Suvorov to Kaffa instead.

And damn... my WE was so high i couldnt muster men in my colonies. Too much RR...

 

[BurningEGO]

Now i know why i kept loosing every goddamn battle... Guess why... Liff had the DOTF. Denmark also got DOTF but they didnt enter in any war, so np. Well, now i ask some compensation for these heavy looses thanks to the enemy DOTF... and of course, scrap it from them.

Huh?

 

[BurningEGO]

Look at the stats. You still got Orthodox Dotf. I actually couldnt do a crap vs your ubber morale/leaders if i didnt engage you with 800 canons + a crapload of infantry. Whenever i engaged you without canons i lost... thanks to dotf.

Didnt we ban it in the game?

... Not that I know of.

If it was we shouldn't just make up a new rule 3/4's of the way through a game and in the game. It should be posted and discussed here.

Also that Spanish embargo should be lifted or everyone should be banned. Not just Fraese's favourites. Of course if we get a Spaniard for the next session my complaint is moot

we voted on it in game last session and week before to iirc
majority wan'ts to ban them cause if not the catholics keep using it against eachother

if we don't ban it its a waiste of gold for russia-ottos anyway since you can claim dotf and he can
