ATG AAR "Master of the Seas"

[Arditi]

Ciao Gents,
Multiplayer random game set to "large" map. Three human players and 4 AI set to basic. Attempt at a turn a day turnaround. The last game moved quite well. This is a sea game with large enough amounts of land to consider them continents.
Rules as follows please.
1) Whatever is possible within the game mechanics is allowed.
2) Alliances can be made and broken and "will be" due to the fact only one winner is declared at the end. No ill will here please.
3) The winner will be unanimously declared by all "still in the game" or a player will force his win on the others through taking them out of
the game.
4) If a player decides to leave the game; they must surrender all of their land(white flag icon/button) and then send the turn on please.

I will give the "sole winner" a set of my upcoming Japanese militaria volumes due to be published in May. If they want them. Play hard and
have fun!

Let's try to keep the updates/turn information going to show the story/wars unfolding.

Best, Arditi

This is the world map.
I am "red". The other nations will be put in later.

[Arditi]

Though the sea lanes must be kept open. My nation trains their foot soldiers to crack status.[;)]

Good luck everyone. I'll sit this one out, though that is an interesting map. I'm just not into becoming allies with the expectation that I may be back stabbed later or that I should back stab an ally myself (by ally I mean using the ally feature of the game that grants allies certain special abilities: give hexes, give units, give research, shared map intel, move into ally's territory, stack with ally's units and trace supply through allies territory.)

[Arditi]

Turn three sent. Maps later on.

Considering the cost of fuel, the infantry had better learn to swim...[:D]

This the current situation. I have been blessed with the best landed situation. I just connected my two initially seperate land areas. Tom, in purple, has the biggest challenge with his nation all over the map in little pockets. Allan has his lands in Yellow and in three differing areas seperated by water. He has isolated himself initially ans has not allied with anyone though feelers are out to himfrom both of us.
According to the oil chart/stats I have the best initial amount of this commodity. I have attacked Germania(AI) and Tom has attacked another AI nation. Tom and I are allied and trading tech in equal amounts, but we are both watching each other warily as we border each other in several areas. He appears to have the biggest challenge. Hot points of current conflict are the blast symbols.
El Duce...or Arditi if you please. [:)] Capitols are circled in white.

The Autocratic Electorate wishes to report that war has been declared on a nearby country whose wealth needed to be redistributed via "fair" taxation.

We only wish to bring "Free" health care and social services to those countries not fortunate enough to be us.

[Arditi]

Hey!  Those "frowny faces" over our lands are a bit disrespectful!  hee hee

[Arditi]

Recent photograph of our "liberating" forces occupying an enemy town. The townsfolk come out to welcome us.

[all5n]

Ha! Couldn't resist.

Don't fight it son. Confess quickly! If you hold out too long you could jeopardize your credit rating.

[Arditi]

Great movie!  I'll have to watch out for your government type!  ha

[tweber]

Turn sent.  I captured the town south of all5n's territory so that campaign is in mop up phase.  Nice breakthrough to the on the island to the south.

[all5n]

Turn sent. The war of pacification continues against the AI nation that i have invaded in 2 places with the successful liberation of a mine.

[Arditi]

Those poor overworked miners. They look like they need to be liberated. [;)] My advance into Germania continues.

[Arditi]

My ally succesfully advances into enemy territory. He has made two beach landings on this island.

[Arditi]

A portion of my continent that is shared with Allan, of the Hermit Kingdom[;)], and Tom. Tom is gobbling up a small nation as seen. My "Gothic Wall" develops to protect this area of my kingdom.

[Arditi]

Taking an enemy mountain, "Idi Amin Arditi" takes in a local hunt of rare mountain wolves. He ponders his envelopment of lesser nations as he watches a dominant wolf overpower another. He will make this his private hunting reserve afterwards... Is it getting deep? [;)]
