Youngstown -- Winter 1904

Post by Octavius »

FRENCH TROOPS TAKE BELGIUM, AUSTRIAN TROOPS RETAKE VENICE

As the front between French and German forces restabilizes along the Rhine, French forces have pushed forward and seized control of Belgium, forcing the German occupation force northward into the Netherlands. France is now confirmed to be in an active military alliance with Austria-Hungary, when the k.u.k. Army supported a French move back into the Kingdom of Bavaria. Unfortunately, French orders were updated without Austria-Hungary being notified.

On the Austro-Italian Front, Austria-Hungary has regained control over Venice after Italy attempted to take it back this spring. This offensive was aided by the presence of French troops, who have stationed themselves in Piedmont.

GERMANS PUSH OVER THE URALS TO TAKE SIBERIA, AUSTRIANS TAKE MOSCOW

Taking advantage of German troop movements eastward to secure the Russian frontier, the k.u.k. Army has rolled into Moscow and taken control of central European Russia. Germany continues to maintain control of northern European Russia, with its puppet tsar in Petrograd.

CHINA TAKES VLADIVOSTOK, TOKYO, PHILIPPINES

In another well-coordinated offensive operation, the Ever Victorious Army has regained control of Vladivostok, cutting off a Japanese fleet on the coast of eastern Siberia and forcing the remainder of Japanese troops off of mainland Asia. Simultaneously, Chinese soldiers have taken Tokyo, capital of the Japanese Empire. The Emperor of Japan and his government are said to have evacuated to Kyoto, which remains outside of Chinese control for the time being.

With the Japanese empire disintegrating, Japan finds itself on the edge of obliteration. Outside the confines of Chinese-occupied cities, chaos reigns. Crime has skyrocketed as police have fled their occupations and everyday people break into stores and their neighbors' homes for extra supplies. With the Ever-Victorious Army occupying large areas of Japanese farmland, famines are expected to take place outside of their occupation zone, weakening further resistance to Chinese expansion throughout the Japanese homeland.

An Open Letter

It was long known that the aggreements made between the European powers would eventually fold. It was also known that Germany would be targeted when that happened.

The Geography dictated that there would have to be war with France, Britain or both. We struck when Anglo-French movements indicated that they were intending to make war. This would have gone better if not for failure in Scandanavia during the war with Russia. For this, the leader of the Kalmar campaign, Generalleutnant Bob, has been executed. Image
His replacement will take on civil duties and been crown as the Sovereign Viking Emperor Bob I.
Image

Throughout this war, Germany has relied on the friendship of fellow Germanic state, Austria. As even this has proved false, it is almost certain that the Empire will fall. If this happens, I say now that the final surrender will only be to the ruler of Austria.

I also ask Austria, if Germany and Austria will not rule the world side by side, then at least carry Germany's flag with you as you blaze across the globe.

The world must belong to the Germanic peoples.

I think he's trying to do exactly that, by making you switch sides.

You know, you're disbanding units that can be used offensively in favor of keeping the units that you only use to defend a position that can't be successfully attacked.

Also, if there's anything unclear, you can talk to me about it.

Yes, due to its size (esp for colonial powers) and the number of players, Youngstown is a very different game.

Oh I'm pretty rubbish at ordinary diplomacy as well. I've been recommended to ensure that even with allies, I have a potential 'standoff' on all fronts.

The big issue in general is to avoid being outflanked.
