Spring '02 of the game OPERATION DESERT SHIELD (EP #94) (GM is uunet!devcom!sma/Steve Adams) (Game is being moved to chapter one) Operation Desert Storm - Spring 1902 ENGLAND STYMIED, ITALY UNDER PRESSURE, AUSTRIA THREATENED! Bern (Presse Suise) The armed forces of Germany, Russia and France form a combined front against the English fleets. French naval units entered the English Channel unopposed, while Russian marines took Norway with naval support from Sweden. Germany moved fleets in position to threaten the North Sea. England is sure to crumble under the weight of this combined attack, unless an ally can be found, or the coalition disolves... French forces were also active on the Southern front, preparing for a naval attack on Italian forces. Austrian troops moved into position to launch a ground campaing from the east, putting Italy in a potentially fatal vice. The Czarist forces moved into the Balkans for what appears to be a combined Russo-Turkish assault on the Austro-Hungarian land forces. A major battle is in the offing. This may take some pressure off of Italy. =====> FALL 1902 moves due February 27th <===== Spring 1902 Unit locations : AUS : A Tyl, A Tri, A Bud, A Ser, F Gre ENG : F Nwg, F Nth, A Yor FRA : A Bel, A Pic, F Ech, A Spa, F Gol, F Wme GER : F Hel, F Hol, A Ruh, A Kie, A Den ITA : A Ven, A Apu, F Ion, F Tys RUS : A Nwy, F Swe, A Gal, A Ukr, F Sev, A Rum TUR : A Bul, F Con, F Aeg, A Smy Spring Supply Center Ownership Report : AUS : Bud, Tri, Vie, Gre, Ser ENG : Edi, Lpl, Lon FRA : Par, Bre, Mar, Spa, Por, Bel GER : Kie, Mun, Ber, Den, Hol ITA : Ven, Rom, Nap, Tun RUS : Stp, Mos, War, Sev, Rum, Swe, +Nwy TUR : Con, Smy, Ank, Bul + = not occupied for Fall Season Moves : AUS : A Vie->Tyl, A Tri SA Vie->Tyl, <A Ser->Bul>, Gre SA Ser->Bul, A Bud S *Russian* A Rum Hold ENG : <F Nwg->Nwy>, [F Nth S *French* A Bel->Hol], A Edi->Yor FRA : F Bre->Ech, A Par->Pic, A Bel Hold, A Por->Spa, F Spa->Wme, F Mar->Gol GER : F Hel Hold, A Den Hold, A Hol->Ruh, F Kie->Hol, A Mun->Kie ITA : <A Ven->Tyl>, A Tun->Apu, F Ion CA Tun->Apu, F Nap->Tys RUS : A Stp->Nwy, F Swe SA Stp->Nwy, F Rum->Sev, A Ukr->Rum, A Mos->Ukr A War->Gal TUR : A Bul S *Russian* F Rum Hold, F Con SA Bul Hold, A Bul Hold, F Smy->Aeg, A Ank->Smy <> = Failed [] = No such order Please send any corrections to me immediately. ============================================================================= | | Steve Adams - Devcom Mid-America | | AuH2O *IS* the Republican Solution! | Email : uunet!devcom!sma | | | voice : 708/574-3600 | ============================================================================= #58 BERLIN WALL (GM is eric_s_klien@cup.portal.com/Eric Klien) BNC 1990HO (Normally published in chapter six) First, I will repost the fall results: BERLIN WALL ----------- Fall 1905 A-H, Fall05 ---------- +A Tri -> Vie +A Bud Sup Gal -A Gal Sup Tri -> Vie -F Adr Sup Aeg -> Ion England ------- -F StP H's -F WMed-> Tunis France ------ -A Gasc -> Bres +F Port -> MAO -A Mars S A Spa +A Spa S A Mars Germany ------- +A Edi Holds +A Ruh -> Mun -A Mun -> Ber (Must retreat) -F Bal -> Ber -A Boh -> Gal +A War -> Mos +A Bel -> Nwy +F NtS C A Bel -> Nwy +F Nwy -> Bar -F ECh -> Bre Italy ----- +A Tun -> Tus +F TyS C A Tun -> Tus -F Ion -> Tun -F GoL -> Mar -A Pie S F GoL -> Mar +A Tyl S Ger A Ruh -> Mun Russia ------ -A Pru-Ber +A Mos-StP +F Liv s Mos-StP Turkey ------ +A Rum -> Ukr +F Bla H +F Bul H +F Aeg H +F Con H unit positions -------------- AH A Bud A Gal A Vie F Adr Eng Fra A Gas A Mar A Spa F MAO Ger A ???

This means that A Ruh-Mun fails and A Mun-Ber fails. This does not effect winter results especially because the winter results seem to have taken this into account by not giving a retreat for the German unit.

I would appreciate it if everyone would send a copy of this message to the other players as I am experiencing some e-mail problems that have not been completely resolved. I promise to completely jumpstart this game within the next three days. Also, let me know if a different person is currently playing Russia.

Spring '01 of the game NOW AND ZEN (EP #99) (GM is andre@duteina.tudelft.nl (Andre Verweij) Hello everybody, I have the result of the voting for the name: 5x Yes, 2x No Vote (=No) It seems that the majority wants our new name "Now and Zen", So will you mention this name in the future. Below follows the Press for the Winter '00 season. Not a very thick paper, but enjoy it. Deadline for the first orders, Spring 1901 will be next sunday. (To be processed monday morning). So let me know if you can not send your moves in on time. And always ask me if there are problems. Can you also mention if you cannot reach someone. Press: Paris, dec 9 1900. As a reaction of the election of our new president, there have been much violence from spanish nationalists. As we all know, one of the electorial promises was to once and for all deal with the anti-french movements that flourish in the nothern parts of Spain, making life unsecure in southern France. Rumours has it that part of the Foreign Legion is being transported to Bayonne, where it, according to the rumours, is setting up an operational headquarters. And unconfirmed sources claims that the president at a meeting told the spanish ambassadeur in a harsh voice that : - If you can't stop it, we shall! Other, also unconfirmed, sources in the ministery of defence, tells us about armyofficers undergoing training in spanish geografy, and that it is just a matter of months before the army gets its marchingorder. Rene LeClerc, reporting from Paris, for Le Bigaro. Rome, december 1900: The Italian Commander wishes to make plain, the rules for engagement that he will be following in the hard times to come! 1) No Italian units will attack, support or condone an attack, upon an ally. 2) No Italian unit will refuse to support an ally when called for, except when it is necessary for the unit to protect Italian soverign soil. 3) No Italian unit will attack, support or condone an attack upon a Power which is the subject of an Italian non-agression pact, except when such action is taken as part of an action with an existing ally. 4) All Powers are assumed to be in a non-agression pact until such times as their actions are in breach of declared de-militarised zones. 5) The Italian Commander is available to hear petitions from all other Powers, whether they be Allies, non-agressors or agressors. Such petitions will be considered in all seriousness, except when they attempt to breach existing treaties. 6) All agressors are deemed to be so, only when they threaten Italian centres or unit movements. Should an agressor wish to enter an alliance with Italy, they will be asked to return such privileges to Italian control, whereby they will be treated as non-agressors pending further negotiation. 7) Finally, any petition which succesfully proves that any of these statements have been breached by Italian units, will receive the following privileges: a) control of all Italian units will pass to the succesful petitioner, and the Italian commander will merely act as a figure-head monarch. b) The Italian commander will resign as a player, should the referee (i.e. andre@nl.tudelft.duteina) believe that a valid petition has been ignored by the Italian Commander.

Greetings Andre Hello everybody, With some delay the moves for the Fall of 1901. There are no retreat orders neccesary so we can go to winter 1901 for the builds. I think every one can have his builds in on Wednesday 6 March (24.00), so that is the new deadline. Some of you already have sent the new builds, unsure of what my method would be. If I have no orders for a specific case (build/ retreats) I will always ask for orders. No automatic disbands or pending builds, for you can not foresee everything. But with sending your builds directly you can speed up the game. You can also send Press for every turn. It will be published in the next general mail. Greetings Andre.

The Minister for Defense has confirmed rumours of an attempted invasio n of England by a French force consisting of several thousand boats and barges. "We are disappointed by the perfidy the French have displayed. In vie w of our historical friendship, we can only attribute it to France's current leadership, rather than to the nation as a whole. In particular, we wish to emphasize that current reports of French attrocities have not yet been confirmed, and should not be spread irresponsibly", said the Minister in a special briefing. The French fleet attempted to slip across the channel from Brest, but was defeated by the vigilance of England's Navy and by its own inexperience. Bourgonne april 21, 1901. The german assault into eastern Bourgonne has been successfully defeated by the French 2nd army, which due to intelligence reports was given a hasty marschorder only three weeks ago. Now it has returned to Marseilles leaving only the succesful XXI:st corps watching the german border. The question we now must ask us, will the germans ever understand the language of peace? Have in mind, it's only about 30 years since they last attacked France. General Blaeck LeKop, commander of French 2nd army. Calais, march 10, 1901. Today there were a small skirmish between french and english naval forces, luckily only with minor damage to on english fregate and a french destroyer. There seems to have been some misunderstanding along the communicationline, rumours saying something about a shipcommander misinterpreting a course. Hopefully this little incident soon will be forgotten, and we wish the english fleet a pleasent summerholiday. FRENCH OFFICIAL: Paris April 10 1901. Official protest from the French government: We, the French Government, hereby protest against the German attempt to cross our border. We consider this an act of war, and demand an explanation. As from today, we freeze all german assets in France, close our embassy in Berlin, and send all german diplomats home. Any german-french diplomatc conversation, will hereafter go through Switzerland according to an arrangement made between the Swiss government and the Republic of France. Magnus, President of France. GERMAN ARMY HALTS FRENCH EXPANSION ATTEMPT! The Kaiser's elite forces out of Munich were able to halt a column of French forces attempting to get into a position to encroach on Germany's western boarder. This frog force was stopped by the quick thinking of one General Oberm und who had been patrolling near the French boarder. He was in the midst of trying to act as go between in the dispute between the people of Burgandy and the French government. When he spotted many units of the French Foreign Legion attempting to put down a noble cause within the the Burgandy area, he quickly acted to mobilize his forces to repel this encroachment. The General went on to outline that the disputes between the people of Burgandy and the French government stemmed from the lack of adequate representation for the people of Burgandy. He was dismayed that the government would do such a terrible thing to it's own people. He hopes that his forces will be able to turn any further encroachments aside as needed. Luxembourg april 25, 1901. What a dark opening of the new century. Europeans killing europeans. What will become of this world? This was going to be the century of peace, but already in 1901, Germany showed its real face, the face of war. May all of Europe be warned, The way of peace is not the way of Germany. Luxembourg free press. Hello everybody, Here are the builds. The next phase is Spring 1902. Deadline Sunday 17 March at 24.00. If everyone can send his moves in time, we can speed up this game a little. If you send your moves earlier, they can be processed earlier. Unless specified in another way, I will send out the orders if I have a set of orders from everyone. One other thing to discuss is: Are we playing DIAS or non-DIAS. DIAS = (Draw Includes All Survivors), what means that if there comes a draw, all survivors of that moment are included. This is very realistic, for the only 2-way draw is with a 17/17 distribution. I will assume this game is DIAS. If you don't agree, let me know that within the next turn. When we are further in the game it may not be a point of discussion anymore.

Also, the people in Bourgonne now is forming a militia to be able to keep any German invaders away until the French army come to the rescue. Such german lies only discredit the german officials telling them. Greetings Andre Spring '03 of the game MASTERS OF DECEIT (EP #97) (GM is prb@chinet.chi.il.us/Paul Botts) SPRING RESULTS AT LAST!!!!

John Aidan O'Regan Hello All, Just thought I'd dash off a quick note to inform you that this is the real Austrian player speaking, and to prove it, I'll tell you a real Cork joke which none of you will understand because you've never been to Cork. It goes something like this:- "What do dogs from Cork say?" "Woof, boy." Brilliant, isn't it? The joke makes light of the fact that local people tend to punctuate every sentence with the word boy. Even women do it. Old men in the pub, everybody, yours illuminatingly, John O'Regan Summer '03 of the game MASTERS OF DECEIT (EP #97) (GM is prb@chinet.chi.il.us/Paul Botts) SUMMER 1903 RESULTS: Fleet English Channel strategically advances to higher ground in London.

Czar Jim signed into law an official document which authorizes full use of force against Turkish invaders. "I will crush the Turkish swine back into the swill from which they were formed. The Turks have not sense of friendship and have broken treaties with Russia as well as Austria. I only pray that other civilized nations do not have to speak to the filth that live in that backward country", stated Czar Jim. It has been noted that vast amounts of resources have been diverted from all fronts and that convoys of military personel and supplies have been seen heading south towards the Black Sea. At last count, all five major roads heading south were packed with over 100 mile line convoys. General Codik, supreme commander of all Russian forces made the following statement earlier today,"I have been given direct orders from Czar Jim to sacrifice all other fronts in order to defeat and destroy the Turkish invaders. If the battle turns to the worse I was ordered to defeat the Turkish hordes while handing over all lands to the Austrian leader." It was also noted today that all Russian forces were seen leaving Austrian territory. Cases of Russian vodka were left behind for the Austrian soldiers as a gesture of good will. Constantinople: October 13th 1901 "I hereby annex Sevastapol as a part of the Ottoman Empire!!!!" announced the Emperor as his troops mounted a brilliant attack on her shore. "Today, Sevastapol, tomorrow Moscow!!!" To the Czar of Russia: I am your worst nightmare-- an Arab with a sword!!! I am hungry for Moscow... ******************************************************************************* Winter '01 of the game TEUNISGEK (EP #106) (GM is pinkse@vax.lse.ac.uk/Joris Pinkse) Austria: (Chris) England: (Dave) build A Bud build F Edi France: (Robert) Germany: (Esa) build A Par build F Kie build A Mar build A Ber Italy: (John) Russia (Jim) build F Ven build A Rom Turkey: (Chad (no, Turkey!)) build F Ank build A Smy Unit positions: (armies & fleets) Austria: Ser,Vie,Bud & Gre England: Nwy & Nwg,Nth,Edi France: Bel,Bur,Par,Mar & Por Germany: Mun,Hol,Ber & Den,Kie Italy: Tyl,Tri,Rom & Tun,Ven Russia: Mos,Ukr & GoB,Rum Turkey: Bul,Con,Smy & Sev,Ank Ownership supply centres: Austria: Bud,Vie,Ser,Gre England: Lvp,Edi,Lon,Nwy France: Bre,Par,Mar,Por,Bel Germany: Mun,Kie,Ber,Hol,Den Italy: Ven,Rom,Nap,Tri,Tun Russia: Rum,Mos,War,StP Turkey: Ank,Con,Smy,Bul,Sev Neutral: Spa,Swe Supply centre chart: cum. hours 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 result late Austria (Chris) 3 4 3 England (Dave) 3 4 0 France (Robert) 3 5 0 Germany (Esa) 3 5 2 Italy (John) 3 5 0 Russia (Jim) 4 4 0 Turkey (Chad) 3 5 0 Press: ******************************************************************************* From the Italian News Bureau: Due to the increased competition for the European wine market, and the fact that the Austrians had been undercutting our prices for the last year, we felt it necessary to take the very fertile vineland country surro unding the Adriatic sea. This move involved no bloodshed, until the fall at which time the Austrian failed in an attempt to expell us. We will do all in our power to secure and keep this wine making region to ourselves in order to keep our market share. However, we do not wish a 'blood for wine' scenario to develop. Dateline: December 15, 1901 French peasents are growing steadily more unhappy. There traditional drinks of choice: Wine, Champagne, and Cognac are not sufficing. According to the President of France "I do not know what to do, I will have to send in forces in both the cities and country side to squash the uprising, but this will not work in the long run." All French peasents interviewed said that they must have another type of drink! According to soures in Paris and Burgundy, th e drink that they desire for is Bitter. This will mean that the ports of Marseilles and Brest will be running at 100% capacity, for only good Bitter is found in England. When French peasent were asked if Lager would quench there thirst, the general repply was "I will not accept a bad German drink over a good Brittish one!" According to sources close to the President, a large scale invasion of England will be his (the President's) only option. ******************************************************************************* next season: spring '02 deadline: 18 March, 9.00 am GMT need orders from: all Publisher comments: Quote is from Iraqi Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz, before flying to Moscow for last-hour peace negotiations as allied forces readied for a bloody ground war, asserting that his country is prepared for battle.
