Empires and revolutions - Historical Forum RP V2: Blame Brazil for all our problems. - Games

You all need to calm your tits. This game isn't going away anytime soon. It would help if we advertised it some to bring in fresh players.

Hey Eat, could you maybe get on Steam more regularly so that people can at least know the situation for the next turn more readily?

Bump? Yes.

Jesus Christ Children, give us an update. It's been 3 days since you said "expect the turn in the late hours of tomorrow".

Here's the turn! Well, half of it anyway. Seriously though, this is fucking embarrassing how long it's taken me to do this turn. As you can see below, everyone decided to declare war on one another this year. I first wrote the goings of the war through everybody's individual turns that explained their internal-external-economic- military. Turns out that makes the entire year confusing as hell to read, so I scrapped the entire turn and started again. Expect the remainder of the turn in the next 24 hours. Since all the clocks in my home seemingly run on Valve time, make that next Tuesday. 1875 Map: [b]World events of 1875[/b] [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/521/alldeclarewarjpg445x100.jpg/][IMG]http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/5001/alldeclarewarjpg445x100.jpg[/IMG][/URL] - Since their grand entrance onto the world stage, the nation of West Germany has lived constantly on the brink of outright war. War that would be provoked by sentiments of hatred and hostility, mutual between neighbours locked in a quagmire of escalation and espionage. A war of bitterness and brutality, fierce in nature, fueled by propaganda and orchestrated fear. There were no embassies or diplomats, no meetings or long talks to discuss a peaceful alternative. If their was a red phone that existed between West and East Germany there was certainly nobody at hand to answer the call. It is apparent, that all options that were available, were taken to ensure that it was inevitable that war would occur. - It was no great shock then, when West Germany was plunged into a defensive battle against the collected invasion force of East Germany, Austria and a 200,000 man shipment from Gran Colombia. The Federation now aims for just one objection: the complete and utter annihilation of the West German nation and their ideals. - In a spectacular demonstration for universal peace and understanding, numerous nations of the world have abandoned their personal inhibitions and conflicting ideals to develop and sign a treaty resolving any existing hostilities thus, bringing forth an era of economic and technological harmony. Additionally, should a nation under the jurisdiction of the treaty be attacked through foreign aggression, that signer would be defended to the utmost to protect their personal sovereignty. - Initially propounded by Canada, the development of the Treaty was a lengthy and excruciating process not aided by the embarrassing and largely unprofessional arm-twisting that was required for the SAE and West German delegates to find an agreement on particular notions. Finally, following bonding sessions where both Karl Marx and the Pope were present pretending to be good pals, the two nations agreed put aside their differences and work together. - The official title of the organization established by the Treaty goes as following: Federation of United Countries Keeping You Or Underlings From Aggression and Controlling Everyone'. Abbreviated: 'FUCKYOUFACE'. [u] Signers of the Treaty and inaugural members of the Federation:[/u] - Confederation of Democratic Socialist Canadian Territories - People's Caliphate of United Islam - West Germany - South American Empire - Republic of Nordic Communes - Russia Resultantly, I regret to inform that the above 'Allied' nations are now at war with the below 'Central Powers'... - East Germany - Austria - Gran Colombia - The armed forces of Oceania have suffered an embarrassing and expensive defeat in North Africa. Their slim chance of victory was one that rested entirely on the ability of their navy, which was put into question by the ability of the navy of the People's Caliphate of Islam. As the Oceanic ships attempted to traverse the Suez Canal, they were blown out of the water by the Caliphate forces, who continued to then rather coldly leave the survivors to sink and die in the water. - With no ultimate objection or clear plans to reach that objection, the land that was captured on the coastal road by Oceania was hastily reclaimed and within the city of Algiers where the original attack was centered, the tired and starved Oceanic forces laid down their guns to surrender to the forces of West Germany and her allies. No relief effort is ever attempted and the defenders must now live in humiliation as prisoners of war, beneath the heel of the victorious party. - Domestic reactions to the disastrous conclusion of their little adventure in Algeria are a humbling experience for the ruling government, the magnitude of their military's defeat having highlighted their ineptness and incompetence. Protests are a daily occurrence and seemingly, it is only the bulk of the floundering authority forces are holding the nation together. - Not one to miss an opportunity to further demonstrate their iron-hold supremacy of Asia and claim another land mass for the empire in the process, China declares war on an Oceania weakened greatly following their defeat in the Maghreb. The Chinese naval forces assault the Philippines Islands and capture it with ease. - Indian armed forces continue to stagnate within their besieged military positions inside the mountainous steppes. Lacking assistance and guidance from Central government, many of the most exposed bases in Afghanistan and Kashmir have been simply swept away by the a United Mujahideen who continue to grow in strength and dexterity with each passing day. Failures by the inept Indian military to contain the uprising are repeated within Russia. - There are extensive reports that Pirates are working in the area wishing to exploit the chaos for own gain. One incident is especially heavily publicized. Not far from the border with the Caliphate, a luxury airship destined for China is intercepted en route. All of the passengers, including powerful Chinese industrialists, are brutally and cruelly put to the sword. - Rebellion in Ireland persists and experiences a sort of resurgence despite the best efforts of the SAE to pounce upon the last remaining Rebel strongholds in the west of the island and extinguish what little flames of rebellion remain. - Healing wounds are reopened in Dublin as the port of the city is struck by a team of crazed gunmen with reckless abandon. Exchanging small arms fire well into the night and the early dawn, the men are finally ran into a position from which they could not escape. The actions of the SAE combatants prove fruitless however, as the survivors had all chosen to take Cyanide rather than endure capture and interrogation. - Piracy continues to plague the economies of even the World's most rigid superpowers, successfully entering the previously save waters of the Indian and Southern Oceans. It has become apparant that there is movement within the Pirate community. All of the smaller bands are been consumed to form a single mighty, autonomous conglomerate of Pirates. At their head is a Zulu warlord named Mnqobi, plus many of his followers. Due to this, a great majority of Pirate attacks are directed at the Portuguese colonial holdings. - Despite the best efforts of the Canadian government to reach out to the former American people by rebuilding their Dixie nation and preserving their enjoyed social liberties i.e. the right to own and bear arms, these achieve little to sway public opinion. In their eyes Canada remains the aggressor, the oppressor and unlawful occupier. Thus, within the homes, the churches and the General Stores where silence and tight lips is assured, tales of rebellion are growing. Wild stories fabricated of militia communities exisitng within the untamed woodlands with instances of heroics and villainy that would make a nickel pulp novel blush. For post-war America, these stories of success allow sentiments to resonate, for an armed struggle and the perceived heroics that follow. Canada's job is easy now, but if these attitudes to an uprising or insurgency continue, then they will have a serious issue to tend to. - Elections proceed across a French state warped by the radical nature of their transition. The Divinity Party, political wing of the Order of the Divine Star, has gathered immense support and claims victory through a thorough landslide. Proving that threatening your opposition and their voting body with slaughter should they not vote for your man, is a sure way to claim the ballot in your favour. - As they consolidate their great triumph, a high ranking Divinity Party official is shot dead by an anguished Communist who wished to prove that the politician was not a mystical being but a simple Frenchman. Albeit a Frenchman with raving-mad psychopathic supporters who immediately stab and hack the Communist to death on the spot. - France is plunged into civil war between the forces of the Order against those loyalists who appreciate not having to live beneath a Theocratic Oligarchy where only party officials can truly succeed. Order territory is centered on the eastern border with West Germany where the religion originated and continues to flourish. - In the center of all this, Communists have risen to gain a foothold through the crazy. Success is achieved mainly in the far east along the border with Catalonia whose people do sympathize with the Rebels and are liable to smuggle in guns and hapless young volunteers willing to give their lives for the cause. [b]Bismarck's March to France[/b] - On the first day of May, the people of West Germany wake to the noise of sirens, cries of terror and the deployment of their nation's defensive maneuvers prior to the unmistakable whistle of a missile piercing the skyline and striking a local factory, warehouse, shipyard or other unremarkable form of industry. Civilian casualties were not orchestrated but remain high. This is largely due to the large number of families that lived in squalor nearby the missile's intended target: West Germany's industrious heart. - The opening barrage, initiated by East Germany, Gran Colombia and Austria was to assist their advance in two ways. Firstly, to collapse West Germany's economy and secondly, to discourage and unnerve the people by displaying their collective might, placing fear in the belly and the ending the fight before it had the chance to begin. Such a compact nation, there is not a single square-inch of land from which the dull thud and subsequent explosion could not be heard. Primary targets (mainly steelmills, munitions factories etc), at a minimum, were left badly scarred and disfigured. Most were left with their roofs blown clean off or raised completely. What quickly becomes a compelling image of the early days of the war is West German workers evacuating to the sound of a siren, to rush back into the factory when the bombing wave had concluded, traversing through what still worked and the mangled remains of what didn't, only to evacuate once more when the following bombing raid struck. - The advance began in two waves, bringing upon the destruction and ferocity typically associated with 'blitzkrieg'. Using all of the available instruments to penetrate West Germany's weaker defenses before trapping the bulk of the army at the Rhine front. The aggressors may have ended the war within the remainder of the year, yet they did not consider West Germany's last-minute preemptive maneuvers. 40% of the troops initially positioned on the western border with the chaotic France, were moved to reinforce the northern border alongside the great Siege Gun that they had developed the previous year. East Germany's larger force, plus the pressure placed on them that they desperately required a quick win, reflect the outcome of the battle somewhat. East Germany advances but fighting is sporadic and inconclusive and the battle rages on. - Reasonable success is discovered on the Austrian front. Jovial scenes are reported where Austrian soldiers easily raze the border wall that separated the two foes, only to find the wall completely undefended. Moods quickly darken when Austria discovers the wall was a ruse and that the true defense consisted of a four-mile minefield before a second defensive wall, this one pockmarked with machine gun nests and angry, shouty Communists. Austrian infantry losses are heavy and needless and with progress ceasing completely at times, no breakthrough is ever found. The war on the south-east border is the confused and costly mess that it had always promised to be. - Gran Colombia's input on the war proceeds as was planned. They fight and kill alongside their East German allies. They fight and die alongside their East German allies. [b]The East German conquest of the Netherlands and the Wallonian response.[/b] - The Netherlands, having never truly recovered from the wars of past, are swept away by the present war. The particularly lucky East German battalion responsible for the attack, having been handed such an easy and rational task during this turbulent year, march into the Netherlands whose laughably primitive army simply cannot respond to the speed and co-ordination and the East German assault. East Germany is fast to assert absolute authority on the nation, implementing it as a manner of forging another front and stretching West Germany's already confined military. - The Wallonian government is quick to react to the invasion and it is in their final act, they renounce themselves and their country, allowing for the annexation to be absorbed into West Germany who wish to counter East Germany's conquering. Wallonia, with their physical industry untouched by the war, and with entry into the Atlantic Ocean, quickly becomes a hub for the West German war effort who are sure to bolster the newly claimed land. [b]The defeat of the East German Baltic fleet in the Kattegat.[/b] - The reasons for why East Germany wished to enter the North Sea are obvious. To establish a blockade against West Germany in this manner, by ceasing all the exterior assistance they were receiving from their allies would surely bleed them dry. To achieve this blockade would require continuous monitoring of the Baltic and North Sea. What they had not bargained on was that the troops of the RoNC, testament to their paranoia, had direct orders to target and light up on any ship carrying arms, which did not hail from a Communist nation. - What commences is a grueling battle to ultimately achieve supremacy over the Jutland peninsula and the Baltic waters. Though the military ability of East Germany far surpasses the capability of the RoNC's military on paper, it is in with the factor of manpower that RoNC may claw out a victory against their southern adversaries. While East Germany has focused much of their forces on aggression against West Germany, RoNC has spent numerous years concentrating men on their own Danish borders. Consequently, when East Germany's Baltic fleet is patrolling the Baltic and attempting to link with their forces in the North Sea, they are bombarded, chased into the Kattegat and soundly forced to surrender.

So wait...who's winning?

Disappointed in my lack of tunnels coming into play. Disappointed in my lack of usage of civilian evacuation infrastructure. Disappointed in my lack of usage of my artillery and bio/chemical weapons on invading forces. Glad to see the World War finally came. (Why is China not in the list of FUCKYOUFACE members?) also great choice of music.

Also...nice organization Ven.

You dun fucked up Face.

[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35804145]So wait...who's winning?[/QUOTE] Way I see it, you guys took land from me, I haven't taken any land. But you took some big military losses, I took big economic losses.

That being said don't expect Canadian troops in Europe. Unfortunately I must attend to these Americans who feel the need to rebel against their benevolent leaders. Hopefully the new Prime Minister can help them see the right path.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vPIEXhwYdE&ob=av3e[/media] This song should bring up fond memories of the last war I was involved in.

You forget that Austria and Gran Colombia are involved. This matter is strictly European, you have no reason to become involved regardless of your issues in North America.

I have to admit, A nice organization indeed.

[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35804265]You forget that Austria and Gran Colombia are involved. This matter is strictly European, you have no reason to become involved regardless of your issues in North America.[/QUOTE] Nah bro, this is now a world-wide thing. I can assure you that when the alliance was named "FUCKYOUFACE", we did it for a reason. a technological, economic, and military alliance. While the war with Oceania was voluntary to take action in because it began before the alliance was formed, this war happened after, and as such all members are involved.

Well...not strictly but the only Colombian forces being used were already based here.

[QUOTE='[Seed Eater];35804233']Way I see it, you guys took land from me, I haven't taken any land. But you took some big military losses, I took big economic losses.[/QUOTE] It seems to me a sort of a Stalemate. We wiped out a good part of your military and your economy. While we also got our military's ass chewed Since when do we Protect North America Face? Let Ven have it if he wants. I could care less

[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35804265]You forget that Austria and Gran Colombia are involved. This matter is strictly European, you have no reason to become involved regardless of your issues in North America.[/QUOTE] You obviously did not read part of the founding requirements of the Alliance. If war is declared on any one alliance member, ALL member nations are required by treaty to aid the attacked nation. West Germany is in our alliance. You attacked West Germany. I would like to reiterate. You fucked up

[QUOTE=Mr. Face;35804283]Well...not strictly but the only Colombian forces being used were already based here.[/QUOTE] So no objection to Brazilians in Ireland? Not that it matters, this isn't limited to Europe. "Universal Defense Doctrine"

The animosity towards me is hilarious considering my reasoning for this war is just in that you invaded a nation that wished to remain autonomous and you set up a government that they did not wish for. Austria and I decided that enough was enough and we intervened. Then Ven Kaeo (in typical form) decides now is the perfect opportunity to one up me because he has such a deep hatred towards me for no apparent reason at all. In the end your alliance is fucking pointless. [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Ven Kaeo;35804293]You obviously did not read part of the founding requirements of the Alliance.

You're insinuating that it is my fault that the alliance will now retaliate when in reality I had no idea that the alliance was being formed. Therefore I didn't fuck up, I just had terrible timing.

We all agreed before hand that any hostilities this turn would enforce the Universal Defence Doctrine. We prepared. Once again. You fucked up. And you're not weaseling out of it this time.

While I was hoping the alliance would prove a further deterrent, it ain't happening now. And if you want to cherry-pick about autonomy, well, how about those Netherlands? [editline]3rd May 2012[/editline] I knew this shit was going to happen one way or the other. I knew you were going to be the aggressor, because I wasn't going to be. So I took my defensive measures. You can go and choke on a frozen turd if you think that isn't fair. Because you are now the aggressor, and you can't be butthurt when I make appropriate defensive measures to aggression.
