Okay, I figured that would be the vibe. (And totally agree with it too, restarts suck! :) )

I'm not really keen on taking over a nation that's already up & running, so it looks like I'll just have to catch the next one. Have fun everyone :)

People...A bug which has afflicted JH in our Sunday game. This will mainly affect the Allies. If you have your own country troops on foreign transports at the end of a session when we load for the next session they will convert sides to whoever owns the transports. If this situation is going to happen towards the end of a session ask for a few more days to unload them. If however you discover this on the next session the fix is to load those troops which change sides on transports of your nationality. Then Mike saves the game and we do a rehost and the troops will convert back to your own side. Its easy to know if your troops have change sides they will keep same leaders and unit designation.
So be careful especially with UK as you have lots of smaller allies.

Germany, February 1938
In Great dimplomatic efforts Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria and Finland have all join the Axis alliance as of Feb 1938. Request by Adolf to the Allies for resources was not taken seriously so plans are under way to take them by force. By not agreeing to trade resources with the Germans, Russia will pay a terrible price. Germany now has expelled the Russian dimplomat and no correspondence will be entered into unless Joseph would like to pay me a visit in Berlin and bow before me.


Any late starters willing to take over Canada and Australia would be welcome to even up the numbers. Post here.

Good session guys till the next one Mike will post.

Britain's economic recovery continued as the government found the perfect solution to unemployment by conscripting them into the Army. Britain's proud Armed forces now boast about 50 infantry divisions.

And of course, 15 new armoured divisions, 3 new battleships, 6 new carriers, 42 new sub flotillas and vast numbers of strategic bombers to rain death on all those foolish enough to oppose the will of the British people for freedom.

Ahem.

Meanwhile, Britain has entered into economic assistance pacts with Siam, Saudi Arabia and Portugal, new partners to make the world a better place. Pity the other democracies of the world were too wussy and non-interventionist to join, we'll just have to make do with Paternal autocracies.

We good for Thursay?

What you do BB is make a bed up near the computer, put the keyboard on your lap, and the mouse next to you and away you go. Easy.

I cant confirm 100% for Thursday as i will have guests over, it just depends if i can push them out the door by 7pm. I wont know until i actualy do it so, we can aim for 7pm if im late you know why, just hang around ill be there, i always am.

Italy 1936-1938

After a brief war with Ethiopia which was succesfully incorporated into the empire, Italy recieved a delegation from Germany. They proposed some interesting ideas, to change the world balance of power. The so called democracies of the world have empires spanning half the globe, controling 1/4 of the worlds people under the rule of a King, is this Democracy.

Italy accepted the German offer to form an Axis alliance in March 1936 which already included romania and soon hungary followed suit. The last two years have resulted in large increases in technology and quality and firepower of our small but peaceful armed forces, if fact Italy has disarmed considerably since the start of 1936 hoping other nations would follow our example. Instead the UK has embarked on an agressive military expansion which can only be for one reason, to wage war upon the peaceful people of the world, as they have done for the last 300 years. Conqering and plundering the entrie planet. Well it ends here, no longer will the world allow one little island from the north sea to subjudicate the planet and its people's.

We demand the UK hold free and fair elections of all parts of its empire out side of its home islands and release them from her grasp. Italy will become the champion of the peoples of the world whishing to free themselves of the yoke of the British Empire. A new chant spreads across the planet, release us now, release us now, release us now. Only once these demands are meet can peace be maintained, and a war of destruction which will lead to the demise of the British empire and its poor people.

Long live the El Duce.

Il Duce should be careful what he wishes for. The people of the United Kingdom have long believed that Mussolini's oppression of the people of the Italian Social Republic (Republico Sociale Italiano) has gone on for long enough.

If Mussolini so desires, the peoples of Egypt, Palestine, Cyprus, Ghana, Mali, Kenya and a bunch of other free peoples could contribute armies to make the RSI a reality.

News from the Kremlin

Comrade Stalin addresses workers at Omsk tractor factory.

The gullible capitalist countries continue to trade with the evil Axis powers. They will pay the price for such folly.

The Fascits are spreading their slimy tenticles across the Balkens and Lappland. Hilter and his stooge El Dunce have been gathering all the stupid countries in Europe under the Axis banner. Are the naive British and the foolish Americans so blind as not to see the growing threat to peace in Europe?

NO DEALS WITH THE FASCIST RUNNING DOGS!

Well, perhaps Secretary Stalin is right to be concerned, after all Herr Hitler did mention something about taking those resources by force, damnable man.

Anyway, regrettably Her Majesty's government has not entered into any trade agreements with Germany, on account of the fact that Herr Hitler found our terms unreasonable.

Oh by the way Nolan, the alliance with Finnland may be a dastardly plot to keep Stalin's armies crap. From what I remember, without the end of the Winter war event giving +0.1 ground defence efficiency, the Red Army will only otherwise be at 0.7, rather than 0.8. But if Stalin declares war on Finnland, he'll be at war with the whole axis. Hmm.

There will be no deals with the Russians...Hitler was willing to discuss but Stalins refusal to negotiate on any issue has left Germany with no alternative. I will take what I need by force. I promised all my people a volkswagon each and they shall have one.

Gezeder feel free to joing any night maybe to help a minor out and keep in touch with the game. Any session you play a minor is a bonous and will help the allies even if you cannoy commit regularly

At this point in our less rules no limit DOW game I think we should get rid of rule 4f.

If I as the Soviet Union can,t declare war on ANYONE! untill the Allies and the Axis are at war then I,m utterly useless untill then. Finnland and Romania on my boarders join the Axis at the start of 1938 and I cant even threaten war. That is stupid and IMHO an exploit of this rule. Change the rule or this game truly sucks.

If I knew I was going to have to play the Soviets in this game I would never have agreed to this rule. Is this one of Gezeders rules? For someone who likes a freed up game this is a real backflip.

Sorry Gez if its not your rule :)

If its one of Mikes ideas....typical! :)

If its the Majors then.........???????????

Once again im accused of making rules, you slimey dog stalin.

If was in fact a rule suggested by gezeder who intended to play the USSR. Strange how some one who knows the USSR well would suggest this rule??? The fact is that we like to play with a lest a few set rules and styles. Eg that the game remains basicaly the Axis vs The Allies/Commitern. This rule was put in to prevent the USSR DOW on nations and then the French AI DOW on the USSR, then Making the Game an Axis/Allies vs Commintern. That is what this rule is there to prevent.

Also nolan if you knew much about the USSR you would not go about DOW on people esically the Axis. Russia has built in penalites to prevent an early war waged by the USSR on the peoples of Europe. These penalities are severe and hence if you DOW on Germany or another Axis nation you would be swiftly defeated. Hence why it is in the USSR interest to play nice until later on when Germany DOW's on you and your penalites disapear over time making the red army an effective fighting force. The only way around this is if you DOW by event, then your penalities will also go away slowly.

This is not propaganda this is game mechanics fact. You can ask other people or look up the exact details yourself on this forum (somewhere) to find out the exact ratios.

So really by not trading with Germany you have put yourself into bit of a corner. As you wont get the finish winter war event without the MR pact. With no trades to germany you wont get the MR pact. You can ofcourse go to war if the MR pact is not offered but at such an early stage in the game the USSR is at a big dissadvantage. You need the extra 2-2 1/2 years to use your huge IC you build up to build your army and upgrade it to get it ready for war.

Now that finland is allied with Germany once war does come early or normal time you will be at a further disadvantage as your army dose not gain the fins winter war experence and hence the 0.1 improvement in your defence effieceny.

So if i were you i would start sucking up bigtime and offer the Axis huge amounts of resources to get some deals, then again why would we trade with you know when we hold all the cards. NO DEAL WITH COMMUNIST PIGS. :rofl:
