8-Player Napoleonic Empires Free-For-All

[Noll]

@moilami:

Have to say has been a very good game. Politics is making a whole new layer to this  :-D

I have to say also that 8 player NE FFA would be great.

And again, I can volunteer to be Sweden.

I’d love that, problem is finding 8 players

[moilami]

The French Republic is at war with England and at peace with everyone else.

[Make_It_Round]

France: Allies?

UK: Ceasefire?

The rest I leave to you all…

I think, if we all want to do this again after, finding three other players to join in shouldn’t be that hard… I also think that 8-player diplomacy would be much more dynamic and interesting. Not that this isn’t… Good practice, at least. :-D

[moilami]

Yeah, dunno, I am more like an extremist. I like complex systems. For me it feels like 8 player or no way.

And yeah, this is good practise. I haven’t yet even played 10 games of TripleA, so every game is good practise for me lol.

[Noll]

I need an answer from the Ottoman Empire.

A clear answer (yes or no): Do the Ottomans join Alliance with Russia for the greater good and for the prosperity of the righteous humanity?

[moilami]

The French Republic observes what the land of barbars and pirates proposes.

The French Republic also reminds the pirate island of the tool especially good for monarchists.

[moilami]

Further, The French Republic demands Lord Nollington and so called “Royal Family” to be delivered to France, where they shall stand a trial and be accused of war mongering, crimes against peace, social injustice, piratism, and of conspiracy against The Republic by refusing to deliver Bourbons so called “royals” to France to face justice.

The Cossacks are fierce, and they’re marching.

His Majesty’s government has prevailed upon Lord Nelson to issue clear guidance to all admirals that rum may not be issued to sailors until after gunnery practice each day.  Daily gunnery practice will continue until morale improves.  Hopefully the improved gunnery will allow the war against France and Austria to be carried out more successfully.  There are some concerns about the size of other empires but any changes in policy will have to await several seasons of campaigning.

Moi,
Dice come and go.  I trashed a friend of mine thoroughly over the weekend in a game of historical miniatures when my Inca troops rolled up three time in a row and he kept rolling down.

Inca troops? Do you have pictures of your army??

[moilami]

(Good stuff, music and pics.)

The French Republic is done with politics.

Now some music, my apologies for the video not respecting the theme of NE, but since the song have Russian origins and has been redone by Finnish in WW2, so it can barely fit here.

25 mm Inca figures by Ral Partha.  I picked them up on sale at Historicon about ten years ago.  I’ll see if I can figure out how to post pictures.

[pr0c3ss]

The Ottomans will, with great pleasure and open arms, accept a Russian alliance.  he battle against Austria continues and all other countries shall remain ‘safe’.  :-D

The French Republic declares operation Liberate Ireland to be concluded.

After heroic battles by the French Navy, the brave peace corps marines were defeated by barbarians and pirates in Scotland.

The Republic makes deepest apologies to the Irish People for not being able to protect them of the terror from the barbaric pirate island.
