AusBowl Diplomacy I

[Rabid_Bogscum]

Ohhhhh...cool thx

[Olaf_the_Stout]

Any chance I can unsubmit my orders and re-do them? I was hurriedly posting them whilst entertaining the family at home, so was just submitting something so I wouldn't miss out.

No problems if that's a no-go.

[SinisterDexter]

Hnnnng, I guess. It is an important round after all. But the offer stands for everyone. Please make sure you are clear in your message that the orders supersede prior orders.

[Olaf_the_Stout]

Many thanks.

Map:


The map is slightly incorrect because, as the Turkish fleet was on the east coast, it is destroyed. The Italian army retreats to Albania but, as Italy no longer owns any supply centres, their armies are destroyed in the subsequent build/disband anyway.

Olaf needs to advise where that French army is retreating to, but it cannot be Paris, so...

Supply centres:
France: 10 (Marseille, Spain, Munich, Berlin, Tunis, Kiel, Venice, Rome, Naples, Trieste) no change
Britain 12 (London, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium, Paris, Portugal, Brest, Sweden, St Petersburg) +4
Germany 0 - DEFEATED
Italy 0 - DEFEATED
Austria 0 - DEFEATED
Russia 9 (Moscow, Warsaw, Sevastapol, Rumania, Budapest, Bulgaria, Ankhara, Constantinople, Vienna) no change
Turkey 3 (Smyrna, Serbia, Greece) -1

Please check this guys, it's getting a little complicated and I think it is correct, but let me know if I have missed a supply centre anywhere.

England is the big winner this round, as two more powers bow out.

In conclusion, I need to know:

• French retreat from Gascony
• 3 new forces for England (it is actually 4, but you only have 3 home supply centres)

[SinisterDexter]

Just a quick note to confirm that the victory condition is 18 supply centres.

[Olaf_the_Stout]

I believe I get a build as I only have 9 units on the map (I was +2 last turn, but only got 1 build as I only had 1 free SC to build from).

[SinisterDexter]

Yes, you are correct Adam. Please include it with your retreat.

[OneEye]

Math I shall torment Russia as long as possible in order for you to win glorious victory behind Rabids back I shall take half credit for the victory as well as double the discussed harlots you promised me.

[SinisterDexter]

Ok, so the map looks like this (please check):



Will England run away with it? Will France turn and fight? Will Russia regain their losses through domination of Turkey? How long will Turkey last?

Sorry for pushing the orders deadline out a little, but I'm usually out on a Wednesday night, so it just works better.

[Rabid_Bogscum]

Sorry Brett but getting rid of you means we can get commentary which I love

[SinisterDexter]

Ha ha. Well, it is difficult as the moderator because you risk inadvertently blabbing someone's plan (or your own) through the commentary. I'm not going to give you guys tracts of text, but some simple socratic comments may happen more often now.

Map:


I've gone ahead and retreated the Turkish army to Albania because I reckon that's the only option it has.

Looks like Russia is scrambling back to defend home territory, but is on track to crush Turkey, who seem to have gone MIA at the highest levels of command. France is looking shaky and may well be trying to invade its own home territory soon. They have snuck in behind the British, however, and nicked half of the Low Countries.

My money is on Britain at the moment, but it will depend on just how much trouble the French give them, and how quickly the Russians can fold the French up.

Could I not move to bul or can't retreat across the attacking army?

Ok, so Olaf needs to tell me where that dislodged army is going. Unfortunately Turkey's retreat is irrelevant because they no longer hold a supply centre.

Please check things carefully now guys. Each of you has quite a number of forces, so it is kinda difficult for me to keep track.

So I need:

• French retreat and 1 French disband
• 2 British builds
• 3 Russian builds

[SinisterDexter]

To be honest, it comes down to a scramble for French territory now. Who can bag 6 of them first?

[Rabid_Bogscum]

Im pretty sure it can only go to Ruhr.... then I guess its just up to Olaf what is disbanding

[OneEye]

I think Olaf siding with Rabid is going to give it to the Russians simply because we all know Rabid's next move... Despite doubting him early on, I think Math has played it really well so the Turkish rebels that will continue to fight for our freedom throw our weapons behind the pale pommy git!

And no my above thoughts are nothing to do with the other two backstabbing me at different points and I am totally cool with that... Totally don't hold a grudge at all... Yeah no grudge at all...........
