Maybe your naval command and government could never agree on what sorts of ships to build. The Navy wanted proper oceangoing battle-line ships, the government wanted monitors and cruisers, the government did something devious and won by firing the dissenting admirals...and now the Colombian public h...

Cuba is fine. I'd like to also allow the Cisplatine Republic and Brazil to send representatives to the talks as they're immediate neighbours. This is as much about needless and pointless Mexican aggression as it is about who controls the canal. Which is Colombia in concert with the Canal Board, of ...

With regards to those 'missteps', Thanas mistook my mobilization in preparation for war against Russia for preparation for war against *him*. Which is excessively paranoid to the point of mild insanity. Why in the world would I want to fight the Germans? I have no real claim on any German territory,...

In light of the fact that I increasingly view Britain as a leperous, deformed child that I no longer want to babysit, I withdraw my offer to switch to them. Also, I would deeply appreciate some kind of assurance that Thanas will *only* run Russian affairs with regards to the Russo-Manchurian War and...

Well since no one noticed I've left the game a week or two ago and stated I wanted someone to take over Britain for me. Czechmate stepped up and said he would but as far as I know did nothing towards it. So let it be know that Britain and her territories are up for some new player to take over. I'v...

reposting because the artillery thing is apparently still shambling about nomming brains: My suggestion (the division bit is rough and malleable but seems about right): Divisional artillery: 1 6-gun battery of 75mm guns per infantry battalion. 2 6-gun batteries of 105mm guns per infantry brigade. Ar...

The Four Day War has inspired me to add to the list of things Steve and I (and anyone else willing to undertake the Odyssey) must develop for SDNW3.5/4 a proper campaign resolution system that minimizes OOC arguments over outcomes. It should be pretty userfriendly. Fucked if I know what it'll look l...

Just for the record, I have roughly one artillery brigade per three infantry because each of my peacetime divisions, plus their artillery brigade, forms the backbone of a wartime corps into which two more reserve infantry divisions are placed. Keeps my units relatively capable across the corps-level...

Speaking of new colonies; if you guys could list out what bits of the Dutch empire went to whom, I'll fix the map tonight so it's up-to-date.

What's next, mister kaiser, now that you've assured German hegemony over western Europe?

History will remember it as the Four Day War.

Just curious. It took five times as long for the Germans to conquer Belgium in WW2 with proper motorized forces. It took you four days with largely foot-mobile or horse-drawn forces. Thrice that much time I could understand, but just four days is ridiculously fast, even with the poorly-placed Dutch ...

So...how long, IC, was this Dutch-German War?

How the fuck am I supposed to know any of that until you deign to point it out at a moment when its both in your interest to do so and impossible for me to change, you worthless sack of shit? Wikipedia has nothing. The goddamn US Army Field Manuals have nothing that I can find. I'm not going to go ...

Someone is trying to convince me that the basic artillery formation I had in mind would be non-existent, that the 75 and 105mm guns would be organic units to brigades and divisions anyway, and that the "plain" artillery brigades would be all 155mm and 200+mm pieces as Corps-level attachme...

Hold on, did I just end up with a huge chunk of extra Libya or is that just something I completely missed on the previous maps? I thought my territory ended at Benghazi... Regardless of that the Sultanate should also look more like this: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4963/sultanatesmall.png I do...

I recolored some of the borders on the map because they were somewhat confusing from all the changes that were made in the pregame phase. All internal borders are now gray and all international borders are white. Should be much clearer once you navigate to the map and refresh. (link for convenience:...

Oh, might as well say it now. We've been too lazy to do this, or rather too occupied, but Shroom's decided not to play. So California's existence is retconned; Cascadia, Mexico, and I believe the USA will each be getting a piece. Could you retcon the RRA back into existence while you're at it? This...

If that fleet does come out my TWENTY FOUR freakin battleships crush them before pounding the forts to rubble. Your cruiser subs are hunted down by my cruisers and destroyers while my own subs are busy laying a trap for any of your fleet units. If that fleet doesn't come out then my TWENTY FOUR fre...

You know, I didn't know that the SSRs weren't formed until 1956. Thought they were an integral thing.

Man, I cannot wait until this page cycles over into a new one.

And he attacked with 4 Armies consisting of 8 Corps, roughly 24 divisions, plus 8 artillery brigades as Corps level artillery support. He outnumbers you 4:1, not 2:3, and as it is his attempt at an amphibious flanking attack with one army was a disaster (his one bad roll), so you gave him a good li...

I assume you simply rejected this and put them down quickly so you could deal with other issues popping up. Do you have anything better? If you do I will accept it. If not, I'll just continue with the above assumption. Ah, you're one of the dogpilers who want to take part in ravaging socialist nati...

While you're around, Stas, I have a question; Finland is marked as yours on the map, but IRL they declared their independence once the Russian Civil War began, after 110 years of Russian rule as the Grand Duchy of Finland. I assume you simply rejected this and put them down quickly so you could deal...

Rolls for the opening Mexican advance into Panama complete. Unfortunately, Ryan, Wilkens was rolling hot dice tonight. You can consider Western Panama a write-off. Czech and Beowulf were witnesses, Timothy and I oversaw the rolling. Nobody has told me what or where, nor asked me what naval assets I...
