I was planning on dropping two transports into the south pacific and then I realized…

For the hundreds of dollars of navy we have sitting around…  I am defending 3 IPC’s, and not yet even threatening 4 ipc’s.

we’re talking about 7 IPC’s.  TOTAL.  We should be asking ourselves LOL, why we didn’t give up on it a long time ago, and bring the battle back to europe.

I don’t know what we were thinking LOL, that somehow because it’s OURS, we have to take and defend it! Talk about the moral of a WWI Story! :P

[Gargantua]

I’m also EXTREMELY concerned about the coming American Intervention…

[Gargantua]

As for your sub in Sz56.  I attacked with ENOUGH units and got a hit in the first round. If I had not, I would have assumed you would have submerged - as that is your choice - AFTER you roll your dice.

Loose subs in this game, are going to be a deadly opponent.

[Canuck12]

Yes, subs can be very sneaky in this one.

as for the American intervention, i beleive you still have about 6 fucking turns before a single unit even makes it to France.

…and Italy sure as hell doesn’t have that long.

The south pacific is more important than the Ipcs suggest. I will prove it to you next game we play…

[Gargantua]

Oh so there’s a rematch already being planned?  I see… I see…

I think I know where you’re going with this whole “Pacific” thing.  But the reality is, because of the low values of German territories, they are DOOMED to fail there.

I think I’ll take a page out of the German/Askari book.  The africans who fought for them under Paul Emil von Lettow-Vorbeck throughout WWI had a very simple strategy.

“Von Lettow-Vorbeck’s plan for the war was quite simple: knowing that East Africa would only be a sideshow, he determined to tie down as many British troops as he could. He intended to keep them away from the Western Front, and in this way contribute to Germany’s eventual victory”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Emil_von_Lettow-Vorbeck

For four years, with a force that never exceeded about 14,000 (3,000 Germans and 11,000 Africans), he held in check a much larger force of 300,000 British, Belgian, and Portuguese troops. Essentially undefeated in the field, von Lettow-Vorbeck was the only German commander to successfully invade British Empire soil during World War I. His exploits in the campaign have come down “as the greatest single guerrilla operation in history, and the most successful.”[1]

Simply Epic.

[Canuck12]

Interesting…. That may influence m strategy in the comming turns…

Though with regard to geurilla campaigns (ideology asside) credit must go to:

1. Che and Castro’s troops in Cuba
2. Mao Zedong’s forces in China, and of course
3. The Viet-Kong
4. you could even include the Red Army under Trotsky

Something about that communism just really motivated people. Too bad the whole thing worked about as well as a wooden submarine…

[Gargantua]

No no, it was something about DEMOCRACY that got people exicited :P And Capitalism kept it that way.

Oh I see it now. A pincer movement… not looking good for me my friend…

And as for Democracy and capitalism: yes they certainly get people excited. They have been exciting a lot of people all over the middle east for over a year now. And I personally believe them to be the closest things we have in the political and economic spheres to freedom.

But democracy and capitalism are, fundamentally, decentralized systems of power. This is not at all condusive to long guerilla campaigns. If a small group of people are going to fight on against the majority they are almost certainly expecting their effors to pay personal dividends. This is why communist dictatoriship is so appealing to geurillas, because it promises them power as the spoils of war. Democracy cannot guarantee this.

Democracy, seems to come best when mobs of people take to the streets, rather than when a small mob of people take the capital street-by-street.

I screwed up and misclicked my turn with the ottomans… file attached.

Your Russian offensive is going into turkey is going to do some SERIOUS damage…  I do not look forward to seeing the results… I just hope it’s over quick LOL.

File.

Yea, russia could be up 15.  And the British get some pick-apart shots in there too, the bastards.

[Canuck12]

Yeah, sure. But the fact that there are TWICE as many austrian and German troops on the Eastern front as there are Russian negates any feeling of hope I may have had…
