@ SovietAmerika, Gukpa & Razgriz 2K9: Then you all are Ottoman fans? ^^
@ J.J.Jameson: That's probably the only possible way I can handle the situation...
@ Legolas: Hopefully, things will continue to go in this way.
@ Morlak: Thank you, I'm happy that you spotted the Justicalist reference!
@ Mr. Santiago: I used ''El Presidente'' phrase on purpose. I know it's not linguistically correct, but this is intended for the sake of ''artistic freedom''. This is meant to be like in more comical influenced performances where English speaking actors are representing French people for example, speaking English with stereotypical French accent and using only more or less correct occasional typical French phrases (usually using only stereotypical greetings phrases, honorifics answear words). In this case, El Presidente sounds good in English and is commonly used in more or less comical situations (I wouldn't use mistakes en masse deliberately for the cause of fun because this wouldn't be funny).
@ Kurt Steiner: Altough I must say that Alexander VI wasn't that bad chap for his times. Most of his bad deeds seemed to be coming out from absolute love for his family, not personal corruption (he wanted his children to become elite spearhead for Italian unification process, Machiavelli praised Alexander VI and especially his son Cesare as example of successful pragmatic leaders). Of course I don't want to say the Borgias were saints, but they were also not that horrible as unfriendly chronists and popular culture are indicating. In my opinion, Mario Puzo somehow gave best picture of Alexander VI and his family.
@ Kaiser Mobius: Things are still pretty far from being over, but I agree that it is going relatively good for now.

General's log, report 7
Finally, the New Orleans falls after the serie of bloody assaults. Syndicalist invasion force managed to inflict heavy casulties to UNA forces before it is finally neutralized.
Socialist Republic of Italy is now being pushed into limits of only some strongholds in the North and island of Sardinia. But down in the South in ports of Tunis, sad picture can be seen by those who can enter military facilities. There you can find practically everything worth what was left of once mighty Royal Canadian Navy. Five submarines of various type, most of not in really perfect shape, are dwelling in the submarine pens. Their heroic personel is taking a rest, leaving allied fleets, RCAF and allied air forces to deal with enemy navies. Those men saw too many friends and enemies going to the bottom of the seas already.
In Africa, Le Muffen's air cavalry corps reached West Africa and started to sow panic in enemy lines. Chaos in once secure resource base damaged enemy combat performance in the South, allowing UNA armies from Southern Africa to act in more aggressive way.
Enemy infection in Ottoman Palestine was quickly growing nasty, becoming dangerous for UNA war effort in entire broader region.
UNA advance in Siberia was going well. Allied troops already started to assault the city of Yekaterinburg. More towards the South, the last pockets of Indian resistance were being neutralized.
