Good moaning, my English royalist pig friend.
May your inbred armies get the French disease and die in blood and shit while your loved ones make love to farm animals!

The Swedes shall ally with  Prussia and join a DOW against the Russians  :evil:

[Degrasse]

Spain is content with remaining guardedly neutral to everyone else while gathering neutral territories in the Med.  Tunisia, Tripoli, and then perhaps picking off various small islands.

Sounds like we have an accord…

Can I suggest Cyprus and Tenerife?

[Stalingradski]

And Austria is content to make no new offers… and to continue to have horrendous battles against the French  :cry:

[Gekkepop]

Just for the record, you can’t declare war on a country you are already at war with, so I guess that means no changes for Sweden? That’s everyone then isn’t it? On to France’s turn then.

[Witt]

Thank you everyone.
These are the political changes as I have understood them:
France-Ottomans Ceasefire.
UK-Ottomans Open Borders.
Prussia-Ottomans Ceasefire.
Prussia-Austria Ceasefire.
Prussia-Ottomans Ceasefire.

Forgive me if I have missed anything.

[Witt]

I am afraid the Politics Chart did not offer Prussia and Ottomans or Prussia and Austria any options.
You are still at war!

I can understand the Austria-Prussia war thing, as it was only just declared.
Maybe you have to be at war for a turn, but I cannot understand why Ottomans and Prussia(think they were at war since Turn 1) have no options either, unless it was because we used the AI last turn.

Can I go ahead and do my go?
Will wait on people’s thoughts, but I am unsure how I can change matters. Sorry!

[Gekkepop]

Russia and the Ottomans have signed a ceasefire as well.

[Witt]

I saw that Gekkepop, don’t worry.
I wrote Prussia instead of Russia(the 2nd time).

I am waiting on BJCard accepting that two of his Ceasefires will not work, then I will do my go.

[BJCard]

wittman,
  Not sure why the politics panel won’t work, but as far as I’m concerned those ceasefires are de facto.  I should be able to halt a war with Austria, correct?  Likewise Ottoman can halt a war with Prussia?

Anyway, as long as Stalingradski and Make it Round are ok with this, than I am.

[Gekkepop]

You can ofcourse agree not to attack eachother this turn, you just won’t be able to move to Open Borders next turn etc.

[BJCard]

@Gekkepop:

You can ofcourse agree not to attack eachother this turn, you just won’t be able to move to Open Borders next turn etc.

That is what I am proposing.  To try this and next politics turn move to ceasefire if everyone is still in agreement.  It is crazy that Prussia and Ottoman don’t get a politics turn like everyone else.

[Witt]

BJCard, you and the Ottomans do get Politics, just not with each other and you do not get any options with Austria either.
Everyone usually has two options from which to choose.

Will be home in an hour, so will look again.
I will do my go and you three will have to have a verbal Ceasefire, in the hope you are given options next turn. It must be in the game mechanics for the reason I mentioned: must war for two turns minimum. (You are paying for Kabloom’s DOW.)
I do not know what else to say, sorry!

Its fine.  Prussia will not be attacking Austria or the Ottomans this turn.

[Major Major]

can bombardments hit towers or fortresses?

[BJCard]

Wait, there are National Objectives?

Man I’m gonna have to check this out tonight…

[Witt]

@Infrastructure:

can bombardments hit towers or fortresses?

I presume so.
Just in case, send in the Infantry!

BJCard: there is a bonus of 4IPCs for killing a unit belonging to one of the other 7 nations( to make you play agressively).
UK and France are penalised 6 for being stronger. (I think.)
Most nations also have a Convoy box, which can be captured by moving a sea unit(not Transport) through it. Whoever owns it, loses income. It is not added to the one which captures it.
