HiHi

Pipped by 1 min at my end Seamus, just 1 min; so Turkey takes this turns Speedo 1st Class with bar and Green stuff round the edges. As thats the 2nd time Russia has been pipped by a min, reckon a 'Mention in Despatches' is only fair.

So with Turkey, Russia & Austria in thats 4 to go.

I'm on the "wrong" side of the Atlantic here, and Matto and most of you guys are "closer" to the Sun . . . can't we figure out some kinda level playing field where we Yanks don't have to basically time-travel to get our turns in _before_ we actually receive them in order to win the coveted Speedo? [:'(]

HiHi

Am sending Pegasus out now with orders to scour the US for returning files [:)]

Seriously though, as I work nights then it does sometimes happen that I am more in Sync time-wise with you Chaps over there than with the rest of Europe and Mus, Andrew & Bill have I think (if my memory serves me well) all won the “Greatly” [8|] cherished Speedo awards on more than one occasion.

So look out for flying horses in your neck of the wood, and remember you are the 1st ever recipient of a MiD’s, an honour not to be sniffed at. [:-]

Sorry about the delay.  I was waiting on some diplomatic correspondence and you (kingmaker) said something about being out of contact for a couple days.

Lenin, haven't you won this thing yet? I mean sheeze, its only 2000 glory  . . .

Hehe, if I hadn't been hit by the "glory bug" early in the game, I'd have another 250 glory right now!

Turn 38 sent. Sorry for the erratic turn rate lately. Normal service now resumed.

HiHi

T39 sent out.

Brit turn 40 in.

Instant Combat seems to really turn out unlikely results.

120,000 men defeating 240,000.  Roughly similar quality.  Minor doctrinal edge to the smaller force.  Leadership quality about equal?

I dont see it happening.

I hope that the next WCS game has some kind of combat system that can be done between players for critical battles.  What size would be handled by house rule or a setting during game startup.

The instant results makes combat and war too much of a crapshoot I think.

HiHi

Mus takes the Speedo 1st class with Bar and Green bits round the edges for this turn, 6 to go.

I think you mean "Justice" or "Karma". [:D] I guess I just had my Auerstadt minus Davout. [:)]

Joking aside, Detailed Combat with this system would definately be sweet.

HiHi

With Austria & Russia both in, 4 to go.

Is Austria at war with France again!? I just saw an event report something about 22K casualties in a battle!? Sheeze, you guys are serious warmongers over there on the Western side of Europe.

Sneak Attack by the cowardly Prussians! [:D]

Also Mus it was 164k v 240k and the French Div's were completely organized into Corps where only about half the Prussians were... not sure how much of a difference that made, but in my experience it seems to make a big difference in instant battles.
