I have 15 VHF Rheinland wings now.

*smiles*

Also there's a jumphole from Sigma 13 into New Berlin, that is what the combined Hispania-Kusari invasion force used.

There's also a jump gate, but that's irrelevant. VD's attacking me in Weimar, you're attacking me in New Berlin, and you're both gonna be beaten to pulp in you don't get out of there RIGHT NOW.

Furthermore, you can't have gotten hold of ANY Rhineland fighters at all.

Message to Kusari and hispania:

I am sorry to say this, but only people and nations in extreme risk of death and destruction are allowed into our systems, and any major faction that enters would have to stay there to keep our location a secret for the safety of my people, so you can keep your ships at your systems. Our neutrality never existed, we still have two goals and they have not changed. Until we can protect ourselves, we will not let anyone in. We have been burned once and we will not be burned again. (As in drop it, cause unless you're without a base, you are not allowed in, and if you do come in, you aren't allowed back out until we have enough forces to protect ourselves from liberty.)

Still building up for a large base.


Also, long term force build up plan initiated.
All bases will have:
200 LF wings
150 HF wings
100 VHF wings

and then naval force will be decided when a Capital shipyard is eventually constructed.

Trekkie and proud of it!

the lines have been drawn, the war has been declared, now it's a matter of waiting for the dawn to break. (Said upon the beginning of the constrution of new BHG command center in the fate system, Guildmaster, no scratch that, President Richardson, head of the new Freeman's Republic.)

Read Gunbladers post, all Samura assets are in my hands. Liberty, I wasn't aware of the other capital yard, I'll decommission it immediatly. There are Rheinland vessels in that fleet. Btw, since I have control of them and not Samura, the treaty to hand the vessels over next turn is no longer necessary.

@ AC: Also AC VD came into New Berlin the same way as I, through the jumphole. Furthermore, I'm invading the Frankfurt system with the Samura military and the forces I had stationed in reserve in Sigma 13. You will surrender Frankfurt and New Berlin to the Kusari or we will continue to assualt Rheinland.

8 R. Battleships
2 R. Heavy Cruisers
4 Rheinland crusiers
7 R. Gunboats
1 R. HF wing

@jakob: could you get me the results of my exploration, research and attack on Perth as soon as possible? Thanks.

Edited by - roc on 12/1/2004 5:35:44 PM

I will NOT surrender anything. Furthermore, I have no idea how Gunblader got a hold of Rhineland VHFs, but I assure you he couldn't have had them.

@ Bretonia and Liberty: Look, I send you a whack of commodities and credits, downsize my military, release control of Bering and Hudson, just so that I don't get slaughtered. Now I'm getting attacked again? I deserve some help here.

Edit: Also, Battle is joined between Kusari and me in Weimar (Frankfurt) and you and me in New Berlin. You can't move troops in or out of those two systems now.

Also, I'm keeping a large force stationed in Stuttgart just to be safe.

Um, jacob, if you're not judging...WHO IS? (I need my exploration and research results)

Edited by - [ACWilde on 12/1/2004 4:03:46 PM

Woh, woh, woh, WOH! Aren't gians completely opposed to terraforming?

AC VD is in New Berlin.

His forces went through the jumphole in Sigma 13. They as well as the fleet I deployed earlier today are engaging you in New Berlin. The Samura and reserve Hispania forces went through the Jump GATE into Frankfurt. You do not get to tell Vortical Dwarf what courses his units can deploy. And the only reason your getting invaded is because you've constantly shown the policy of Rheinland is the eventual annexation of Kusari. He is attacking New Berlin and attacking your shipyards there specifically. If you decommissioned the ones he's attacking there then I guess he'll just have to kill something else there. I'm helping for assistance in returning my Presidency to me and all forces are fighting that are Hispania under the flag of the Kusari in essence free mercenaries.

Quote from VD:

C. The time has come at last. I move my battle group in Sigma 13 (110 LF wings, 25 VHF wings, 5 gunboats, and 14 battleships) and 20 HF wings from Honshu to New Berlin and launch a surprise attack on the Rheinland shipyards.


Also you already dissassembled your forces yesterday.

Quote from you:

ok ok OK O...K! Fleet is downsized to that amount. Stop the freakin' attack already!

All forces are withdrawn from the Sigmas and split back to their respective systems. All forces are downsized to this amount.


So those forces are no longer at your disposal to counter this aggression with.

Just to clarify- THOSE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE REVOLUTIONARY VHF'S

Now that that is over, my next project........

Most people fear the unknown.
Most people haven't met me.

Look, VD, I started the attack on you because I was told by Gunblader, who misinterpreted one of your posts, that we were attacking you. It was a mistake, alright? Otherwise I would be happy fighting alongside you. And waiting until I have a small force--THAT'S JUST LOW. Ok? Low! Why don't you fight me with the force I had before? Because you're a dirty coward? I think so.

@ Triyun: You turned your back on me with our alliance. Perhaps if you hadn't, we would be fighting alongside one another now.

@ Bretonia and Liberty: I NEED HELP. You attacked me when I invaded Kusari either give me back my ships or help me defend my state.

Edited by - [ACWilde on 12/1/2004 4:47:24 PM

AC, I already gave you my explanation, the evidence I was helping was obvious.

VD didn't even know you had a weakened force till I told him this morning over e-mail and he already launched the invasion. The fact is you've attacked Kusari twice they have no reason to let you survive. I'm fighting for a loyal friend, your getting what you deserve for being a reed in the wind in terms of your foriegn policy.

@ Liberty and Bretonia: Hispania is only aiding Kusari in taking the Eastern Rheinland, this will create a buffer zone along their border with us. The Western Rheinland so long as it doesn't continue to resist will continue its status as a sphere of Influence for Liberty. If Bretonia feels comfortable I will and VD probably will agree to some sort of peace keeper deal along the west rheinland border. With that military in your hands your just as secure as if it was in Rheinlands hands. Sisko said it himself yesterday, Rheinland is the problem always has been.

Edited by - Triyun on 12/1/2004 5:09:26 PM

Yeah, and I showed you I have a downsized force and I am NOT interested in taking over Kusari. Both times I have invaded I have done so out of promise to an ally. Neither time has it been because I desire a piece of Kusari.

Look, if VD has such a big problem with it let me fight him alone with the military I had before.

@richardson: The Gaians are opposed to terraforming by other factions, because they will pollute them. However, we can trust ourselves to keeping the planet a good place with little or no pollution.

@Wilde: I'm not taking any side on this war between you and Kusari(at least not until Bretonia does) but you just said in a recent post you never wanted a piece of Kusari. However, when you first started this attack on Kusari, you said and I quote "We're fighting Kusari now? You sure? (If we are that's great, I've been dying to get a piece of Honshu)". Now doesn't this mean you do want a piece of Kusari? Sorry if I misunderstood this statement, but it does seem like you want a piece of Kusari.

@all: Sorry if I respond slower than usual, I broke my finger and it makes it hard to type

SHHHH!!! NO SPEAKING!

(That was actually supposed to be OOC, I didn't really mean it).

I cannot say this enough times. Attacking me like this is low and dirty. You know how Odysseus spends 10 years trying to get home? That was all because of his dirty idea, the Trojan Horse. It was a piece of strategy, but nevertheless LOW beyond belief--waiting until your enemies are drunk and ecstatic with their victory and then slitting their throats? As a result, the gods didn't like him too much...

All ships being transferred to Liberty and Bretonia control are ordered to turn around and head back to Rhineland space, to New Berlin. (I am doing this as an act of desperation, jacob and Sisko don't seem to be on.)

Edit: @ roc: ooh that must suck...my condolences
