Game 84


Glamdring

Recommended Posts

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

 

We all know the situation with Baltic States. Well. . . .look who else it TA to Baltic States:

 

Switzerland is totally allied to Germany

Switzerland is totally allied to Baltic States

Switzerland is totally allied to Czechoslovakia

Switzerland is allied to Northern Russia

Switzerland is at war with France

Switzerland is at war with Italy

 

Futher, Switzerland and Germany are rolling through France. Des (France) rebased all his aircraft to Spain several turns ago and has been using them exclusively against Portugal, while Switzerland and Germany roll though his country. Apparently all his rants against Baltic are just a ruse. He is furthering their cause by not resisting Switzerland.

 

If you need evidence:

 

France controls Paris

Germany controls Troyes

Switzerland controls Orleans

Switzerland controls Auxerre

Switzerland controls Grenoble

Switzerland controls Nice

France controls Etienne

What is really scary is that Switzerland is also TA with Czech, and we have seen how far the Czech/Hungary alliance has expanded.

 

I think it is time for the rest of us to take some action, before it is too late.

God, I am so dense!

I have finally worked out what you're saying.

When Portugal, Ireland, Morocco and Lowlands combine to attack Spain, they are playing the Game

of Victory In Europe and working as a team.

But, when Spain and his TA, France, combine to counter-attack Portugal, then that's a conspiracy and

threatens the integrity of the Game.

Is that what you're suggesting?

Gee, changing the equation from 4 against 1 to 4 against 2 doesn't seem to me to bring the Game

into disrepute.

 

 

Cheers

 

Hey Dense:

 

Yes, my TA's and I have worked as a team against both GB and Spain. However, there is one key difference between what we have done and what France and Spain have done. . . .

 

The difference is that none of us helped our TA's at the expense of our own home nations. Such behavior is clearly not against any rules, but is not in the spirit of the game. No country would sacrifice it's homeland defense for an ally, no matter how strong an ally they were.

 

It doesn't really matter anyway. . . .

 

You guys started with Yugo, France, Spain, Italy and GB. Recently, you added Canada. Let's see:

Yugo - OUT

Italy - OUT (or will be in a couple turns)

GB - Occupied by at least 4 nations.

France - Bending over for Germany and Switzerland. Soon to lose his capital.

Spain - Down to less than 7 divisions.

Canada - Who knows why he would every want to be part of this????

Deathwalker,

 

Is this your response to me not immediately accepting your "promised" TA proposal? I did agree to help you in your fight and thought that eviscerating France, the country running bombing missions against your forces, would help. Was I mistaken?

 

You are correct, however, Des is my Byach. We met on Devil's Island and escaped together on a raft made from coconuts, hemp and that toilet paper that never flushes. We even have maching butterfly tatoos on our chests! Now really.

 

This paranoia is getting a bit out of hand isn't it. Lets make an appointment and we can work this out.

 

Yours Respectfully,

 

Dr. P. Freud

Master Cuckcoo (oops! made a little slip there) ... Cocoa Maker of Switzerland 84

 

Hey Cuckoo man I hope you like your new allies. They better not believe you will stand with them when times get bad after the way you rolled your old allies over when times got hard. Germany trusted you to help him against France but instead you try to cut his army off. Real nice. You make a couple new friends and throw your old ones in the garbage. Go collect your 30 pieces of silver.

It's only proper to call people your old allies if they were acting as allies. Didn't sound to me like you were Tom. I will of course do all I can to be a better ally for the good President Freud.

You would think Portugal would have a MUN shortage, given the number of Spanish ground forces we have destroyed. However, we have plenty to spare.

For some reason I cannot fathom, I am reminded of a line from a great old western, Hombre.

 

Paul Newman says to Zarkon, er... Richard Boone.

 

"Hey, I have a question, how are you going to get back down that hill?"

 

 

Really good question; I suppose it is according to how many bumps are in front of me. Did you find some more armies to fight back with in Batman?

 

I am looking forward to what you and iraq did to me this turn.

 

However, the view is very nice up here and you left me a lot of presents for which I thank you

PS> you could give me a hint as to what I am facing you know ... just to be neighborly

Maybe, if you watch the movie, you will have some idea. It is just a couple of old farmers with pitchforks, but they are really mad!

Marlen X,

 

Very nice nice stack of B-18s, were they in xAbyad or xAleppo? Nice, expendable stack of Mech, last charge of the light brigade perhaps?

 

So if the 5th Mech is in Abyad and the other 8 are in Aleppo, doesn't that account for all of your troops?

 

 

True, in "Hombre", he was shot to pieces and rolled down the hill, I will roll down the hill too, just a different way.

 

New quote for you ...

 

"I have the enemy exactly where I want him, he is all around me"

 

Looking forward to turn results, this is fun

I presume you are paraphrasing Chesty Puller, who actually said,

 

"We've been looking for the enemy for some time now. We've finally found him. We're surrounded. That simplifies things."

 

A great quote, and one that you are well served using. The marines with Chesty made it out of the Chosin area, but I am not sure your Egyptian tanks are as good as those marines were. We will see.

 

As for Turkish troops, we are using the new errata, that allows us to create whole armies out of thin air. Disband your armies in Turkey and I will send you the code so you can do it too!

Mr. X,

 

Kudo's to you, you know your quotes, and yes, that was my intent, thank you.

 

Consider my troops disbanded, I need the code for another VIC game.

 

But we all know that turkish mech forces aren't quite the caliber of American Marines.

Ahh, but you see, you are reversing the roles. My role is that of the Chinese, and your role is that of the marines. I like my mechs better than the Chinese infantry, and I do not think your troops are the caliber of the US Marines in 1950.

 

Since we are doing quotes, I will give you an old punchline."I don't have to be faster than the bear, just faster than you."
