wha?? please clarify...

Please, I wish to speak to Elder Triyun. He made the offer originally and has generally proven to be a more rational, more reasonable person. I will not take a firm position regarding the offer until we have spoken again.

---

Specific Ship Postings (subject to change):
Dresden - 3 Gunboats, 10 HF, 10 LF @ Ingolstadt / 3 Gunboats, 10 HF, 10 LF @ Bautzen / 1 Battleship, 5 HF, 15 LF @ Pirna
Frankfurt - 10 LF, 5 HF @ Mannheim / 15 LF @ Fulda
Hamburg - 10 LF @ Lubeck
New Berlin - 15 LF @ Planet New Berlin and Oder / 15 LF @ Essen and Dortmund / 15 LF @ Brandenburg
Stuttgart - 10 LF @ All bases (30 LF total for three bases)
Omega-7 and Sigma-13 should be obvious since I only have one base in each

Edited for clarity. When I say X @ Y and Z I mean that since the two bases are adjacent I will defend them with the same set of fighters. Now, before anyone gets all huffy, let me explain how this can work to your advantage as well. Because I am defending two bases with the same force, when that force falls, it leaves two bases open. This is obviously good if you win.

Ok, but for Stuttgart and New Berlin you have to divide those up into numbers placed at actual bases, I believe according to the rules.

Alright, I will announce my Christmas gift to all of you before I turn in for the night.

The Grace Period will be extended until the turn on December 26th.
Turn 4 will last 2 days: both December 24th and December 25th

Thanks to all of you for playing, and have a Merry Christmas!

And stop being such a GRINCH, Wilde.
Leave him be, it's Christmas for Chrissakes!

sorry, codename, I'm just bored...

Merry Xmas to all CYOF players

@ Chancellor Codename: It is true you could score major successes in the beginning. But you discount the Corsair Very Heavy Fighter Squadrons, which are nearly a match one on one in terms of total power for a Rheinland Heavy Cruiser, but as much less cost. Sigma 13 has been claimed by the League and we have bases and a fairly sizable military force in it, we'd overrun the Sigma station immediatly. Same with Omega 7. If war were to break out, reinforcements would arrive from bases across our territory, bretonian space, and even possibly Liberty Space. Whatever preliminary successes Rheinalnd would score in her own territory she would pay dearly for, quite possibly at a cost of the devastation of New Berlin. Whatever preliminary successes we score, with the treaties we have all around I think we'd win, but it is likely in my opinion after winning the powers that stayed out of the war would take advantage and destroy much of our gains. This would prove true if you won. Since your Omega 7 and Sigma 13 bases are in League systems and Vogtland and Bundusch are in Rheinland systems. We may as well simply trade these bases off.

I am sending you a secret message via e-mail. I'd like you to respond to that.

=Ageira Bullitien=

-New Research base set up-

With the recent appearance of goods, Ageira has finally completed a new study base to figure out one of it's more glaring errors. we have managed to keep this base a secret to protect our workers from those who would wish to harm us. Good luck team!

OOC: Richardson's base is not hidden everyone, he did not have a previously hidden base in the system, nor does he appear to have one anywhere.

Richardson, you can only build hidden bases in systems where you already have a hidden base...

Wow, I really can't stop being a Grinch can I? lol. Ok, Merry Christmas to CYOF Now off to get drunk from eggnog....

IMG turn 4
Assume control of GMG bases
new toatsl reacsouceses and credits:
F 13/HF 33/M 41/O 32/W 35
Credits: 264

Ok guys needed reasources are:
300 Credits/40 metal/6 Hfuel/ 30 Food/30 Oxygen/9 Water

thats or sifma 13 and i'll need thi much for every system we plan to mine

Umm Omega, I don't know if you saw what I said, but assuming control of another faction in the leaders absence does not mean assimilating it into your own, it means playing as if you are two players, each controlling a seperate faction.

yeah. Especially because the GMG is in essence almost a House unto itself, so not even Kusari can nationalize it. Therefore, if you want to start controlling the GMG you're going to have to either attack or, as Triyun said, control it separately from the IMG.

Wow. I actually agree with Wilde and Triyun for once. The holiday spirit realy is spreading.

Turn Four coming soon...
