Napoleonic Hegemony

[archimage_a]

Its fairly safe to assume that everything I post is part of my evil plan....The Hague gives me the Red Cross, which changes the game, so that in a month(if the game survives) I can condemn players who don't show mercy, thus allowing me to rustle up extra armies...that is if Dusty allows it, which he probably won't...

If he doesn't then game is shallow and me playing deeply entertains me, even if it has no results.

If he does then game is deeper, and it enterains me.

 

Blowing up Russian Tsar guys is flavourful and will allow Dusty to go 'The Prussians disagree' or 'The Prussians agree' which would mean that they are either willing to fight Russia, meaning they don't like your proto-communism...or they are not willing to fight Russia, meaning they do like your proto-communism, and gives me an excuse to execute the Russian Nobles for breaking the Declaration of Human Rights.

However since Dusty is unlikely to draw all of these conclusions from this it is probably just flavour...

 

And since the nobles will have been indirectly instructed to do this(something that Dusty, with all the things he is doing, probably doesn't have time time to rubberstamp, post and then ignore) I can proxy them...if I can't then game is shallow and I draw amusement from sparring with Dusty...Only bad outcome is if he gives a flat no, since that would be boring.

 

 

 

Since I don't have the time or effort to explain these things to Dusty, to have him disagree...and neither does he....it is easier to post and assume that he didn't notice, than to assume he is running a shallowly boring game.

No, Doom supposedly has normal money and a royal budget aswell.

No, I have my budget of 10m a year, and then Imperial France has a budget. Imperial France is my enemy.

*Hopes Dusty comes on soon, I don't want to stay on too late waiting for this* If he comes on he will recieve

 

 

Tasteyyyyyy

[Nero]

Blowing up Russian Tsar guys is flavourful and will allow Dusty to go 'The Prussians disagree' or 'The Prussians agree'

*shrug* Most of them don't really care and just want to live their lives. The others like it since they believe Catherine is running Russia into the ground. Exiled nobles of course are ecstatic.

 

Sigh...Retech, its called flavour...its called Roleplay....its called playing a game.

If everything we do is gonna be controlled by Dusty then we might as well not play...As for nothing coming of it...shallow game is shallow.

The only restrictions placed really are that on technology, which I can understand why you're mad because that's your whole gameplay style. But to be perfectly honest, I didn't feel like having to write up battle reports pertaining to machine gun wielding bear cavalry, hot air baloon fighter craft, and steam powered super cannons in the Napoleonic Era. Not only would it make me seem like a total nutjob to anyone else who read it, it would be stupid hard to calculate.

 

nope

 

i sent my attack yesterday

 

you're here yesterday and today

 

we will cease hostilities after this but this attack goes through

This attack goes through. Only reason it was delayed was that I was waiting for a defensive map.

 

King Frederick offers to meet with the Pope to discuss reperations for the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, hopefully putting down some of the enemity between the Protestants and the Catholics.

If he refuses then the practice of burning the Pope on the 5th of November continues unabated.

 

As a show of good faith, the King disperses 50,00 ducates buying French Revolutionary 'guys' and giving them to local peasents to do with as they wish, instead of the Pope.

Notes are taken who does what and a summery is given to the King (If you could do that Dusty).

Idk what you're asking. You bought a bunch of French Revolutionaries and then handed them out to the people? :S

 

Catherine the Great offers Crimea the chance to join the great Russian Empire. Aside from officially joining the empire, it would remain autonomous in the sense that Russia would not collect taxes from the Crimea and nobles in the Crimea will retain their powers, as long as they behave in a fair way to their peasants. (Basically, eliminate excess cruelty)

 

If they accept, they will gain a notable bonus over being a Russian vassal. Instead of providing a standing army for use in Russian campaigns, they would only be required to turn over a single province to Russian governance, the bottom province in the middle cluster of three. Any profits from that province will be given to the Crimea, but some of the taxes will be used to maintain a Russian presence.

 

All of this is due to Catherine's latest plan: the construction of a great port at Sevastopol. It will be home to Russia's Black sea fleet, as well as a beacon of commerce in the area.

 

tl;dr

 

Crimea doesn't have to provide standing army that goes invading places around the world, in exchange for a great port in Sevastopol, run by Russians.

Crimea agrees on the condition that Russia makes no attempt whatsoever to interfere with its internal politics (eg. no mucking around with Crimea's nobility)

Royalist's Response:

Royalist armies rampage across Britanny, killing hundreds of supposed Revolutionaries, and imprisoning thousands of others. Rev. France loses Brittany as 'Revolutionary Influenced'

In response to Royalist violence, most of Southern France sways to the Revolutionary side.

Posts so Dusty can make another post without an ugly double post.

 

 

EDIT: Crap

 

 

 

 

Catherine agrees to those terms, having just fought a war against the Russian nobles. Construction of Sevastopol begins.

Almost done writing everything up. Should be another 20mins maybe (I'm slow and lazy)

Spanish/American-British War

 

Winter, 1783

The war began as the Spanish fleet set sail out of their port in the Caribbean, where they had been made ready for the war against Britain. Even in the early stages of the war, fighting was already taking place. The Spanish captain of Spain’s flagship Barco de Dios caught a British spy attempting to light the ship’s powder barrels on fire and destroy it. Instead, the man was dragged to the top deck and unceremoniously shot and then thrown overboard. The Spanish Fleet sailed unmolested towards Britain’s colonies in the new world, only sighting 4 British warships which turned tail and sailed away once they realized the Spanish Fleet outnumbered them six fold. The Spanish Fleet reached the British coastline just west of Florida and there unloaded the Spanish Army of Brazil, who marched ashore and deeper into the British colonial land.

 

General Charles of the British Army of the Redcoats was soon informed of this landing, and led his men on a quick march south to meet the Spanish army. The speed of the Spanish landing had prevented him from bringing the different colonial militias into his army, and so his intent was to reach the fortifications at Montgomery and so force the Spanish to attack him there. He would have failed to reach the defenses were it not for the quick thinking of a British colonel in the vicinity of Montgomery, who had rallied his militia troops and managed to just barely hold of the advancing Spanish army in time for the Army of the Redcoats to arrive. With the British army still attempting to re-organize and get itself into defensive positions, General Vaquero of the Army of Brazil decided his best option would be for a full assault.

 

The Battle of Montgomery’s Wall, August 2nd, 1783

 

Army of the Redcoats - General Charles

 

2000 Fusilers

3000 Line Infantry

1000 Grenadiers

1000 Hussars

1000 Lancers

10 Cannons

 

Army of Brazil – General Vaquero

 

5,000 Line infantry

1,000 Grenadiers

1,000 Skirmishers

1,000 Fusiliers

1,000 Dragoons

 

 

General Vaquero sent his cavalry speeding ahead first with orders to go around the British line. An odd order at first, since he was sending them off without infantry support, but General Vaquero wanted to destroy the British cannons that were still lagging behind. Unfortunately for the cavalry, the cannons were being guarded by General Charles’ Fusiliers, who upon seeing the cavalry formed into quick squares and drove them off with musket fire.

 

However, during this time the Spanish infantry had not been inactive, and had rushed forward en masse to drive the British out of their crude defensive works. 1,000 Grenadiers led the charge, and braved the British musket fire to throw their quick-fuse grenades over the wall. The grenades had a tremendous effect, wounding hundreds of the tightly packed redcoats with their initial toss. Even worse, whenever a redcoat lifted himself up to respond with his musket, Spanish skirmishers drove him back down with their fire. The battle was going badly for the Redcoats, until finally the British artillerymen managed to set up their cannons, and began blasting canister into the advancing Spanish. The attack faltered, as cannon and musket fire rippled through the ranks, and General Charles seized his chance and sounded the charge.

 

2,000 British cavalry charge out across the field aiming for the mass of Spanish troops, but the cavalry lost their discipline and left behind the infantry that was hurrying to catch up and join the attack. They charged forward with their sabres held out like lances, their eyes filled with bloodlust, and they were so blinded by that bloodlust that they didn’t see the forward companies of the Spanish infantry wheel out and point their muskets towards them. Most of the British cavalry floundered and died as thousands of muskets spat out towards them, but the remainder crashed into the Spanish infantry, driving at them with sabres. Finally, the British infantry came forward, screaming like banshees and attacked the Spaniards with muskets and bayonets.

 

The pressure was far too much for the Spanish to handle, with cannon shot pummeling their ranks, horsemen at their flanks, and blood and mud stained redcoats with bayonets at their front. They broke and ran. The British were too tired to pursue, and so what remained of the Spanish Army of Brazil boarded naval boats and landed in Cuba to lick their wounds.

 

Result – Battle of Montgomery’s Wall:

Tactical Victory: Great Britain

Strategic Victory: Great Britain

 

Casualties:

Great Britain:

1000 Hussars

1000 Lancers

2000 Line infantry

1000 Colonial Militia

 

Spain:

4000 Line infantry

1000 Dragoons

 

 

WEST COAST

 

The situation on the west coast was far more grim for the British colonial Empire. Advancing along the strips of land that Britain had colonized to reach the Pacific Ocean, the Spanish Army of Mexico under General Mendez was marching eastward towards Britain’s older colonies. It advanced as far as Davenport, meeting only token resistance from British militia soldiers, who were quickly dispersed. However at Davenport the British Colonial Army was waiting, across a wide bridge over the Mississippi River. The two armies were relatively evenly sized, with the Spanish fielding only 2,000 more men, and so General Chapman decided he would hold.

 

The Battle of Davenport, September 16th, 1783

 

Army of Mexico (General Mendez - Winter Specialist)

5,000 line infantry

1,000 Grenadiers

1,000 Skirmishers

2,000 Fusiliers

1,000 Cuirassiers

1,000 Dragoons

2,000 Hussars

5 cannons

 

Colonial Army (General Chapman - Infantry commander)

 

4,000 line infantry

3,000 dragoons

2,000 skirmishers

1,000 Fusilers

10 Cannons

3,000 Colonial Militia

 

General Chapman was confident of his position, and so chose not to advance past the bridge when the Spanish set up their guns, instead he simply responded with his own, and the two exchanged cannonfire for around two hours until General Mendez finally clicked his watch closed and order the infantry to advance. His advisors cautioned him against such a move, saying it was good as suicide, but he simply waved them off and said ‘watch!’.

 

The Spanish infantry advanced confidentally, their banners flapping in the breeze, and even the British cannonade did not falter their step. The Mississippi River was calm that day, but it was still to deep to ford, and so the Spanish would need to use the bridge. They advanced with their skirmishers in front, and General Chapman responded by sending his own forward. Outnumbered and outfought by Chapman’s skirmishers, the Spaniards were forced to withdraw their skirmishing companies to the flanks of the assaulting columns.

 

Smoke wreathed the bridge as the columns finally advanced close enough to be in range of the redcoat’s musket fire, which began with fervor. The Spanish columns bogged down, unable to make a breakthrough into the British line, and the column unraveled into a crude line against orders, as the Spanish soldiers realized they could not advanced any further into that maelstrom of lead and smoke. Both sides exchanged fire for what seemed an eternity, but Chapman’s superior infantry command was winning the day. The Spanish Army of Mexico was not prepared for this slugmatch, but Mendez had an ace up his sleeve. Two, to be exact.

 

As the battle had been dragging on, the American Coffee Brigade had been advancing on the same point, and the flag of the Thirteen Colonies was suddenly spotted behind the British line. Panic gripped the redcoats as they realized they had been surrounded, and that was the moment that Mendez comitted his grenadiers to the assault. They were the elite of any infantry, larger, better trained, and better equipped, and they came storming across the bridge. The British were forced to turn the muskets back at the Spanish, enticing the American Brigade into the attack.

 

The Coffee Brigade (General Granger)

 

3,000 Line Infantry

2,000 Dragons

2500 skirmishers

3 cannon

 

The Americans set up their cannon on a low ridge behind the British line and began firing immediately, sending canister into the redcoat line. American skirmishers followed soon afterwards, peppering the rear of the British line, and then came the line infantry and dragoons. The British pinned from the front and behind, taking heavy casualties. Even still, Chapman through some inhuman ability was managing to hold his men together, and even surrounding they were hitting back with a sting. Thousands of Spaniards had already died, and the Americans were falling by the dozens now as well.

 

Unfortunately for Chapman, Mendez’s second ace came at that point. 6,000 Apache cavalry came bursting out from the British side of the Mississippi, charging armed with Spanish carbines and swords, and they crashed into the 3,000 British colonial militia that Chapman had been holding in reserve, who fled instantly being unequipped to deal with such a ferocious cavalry charge. The British dragoons attempted to respond by counter-charging the Apache cavalry, but the American cavalry joined the natives, and with the added numbers the American/Apache cavalry force ran roughshod over the British dragoons, who quickly fled as well. The pressure was too great for even Chapman’s skills to handle, and the panic gripped the British line, who broke and fled. Even still, Chapman managed to rally some survivors and they headed south, escaping by the only unthreatened route. Spanish and Apache cavalry finished what was left of the British Colonial Army.

 

Result:

 

Tactical Victory: Spain/America/Apache

Strategic Victory: Spain/America/Apache

 

Casualties:

Spain:

4,000 Line infantry

1,000 Skirmishers

1,000 Fusiliers

 

America:

1,000 Skirmishers

 

Apache:

1,000 Cavalry

 

Great Britain:

3,000 line infantry

2,000 dragoons

2,000 skirmishers

10 Cannons

3,000 Colonial Militia

(THESE UNITS WILL NOT BE REPLACED. They were surrounded and entirely annihilated. That being said, by same insane probability Chapman actually managed to get 2,000 or so men out alive)

 

 

 

 

Spainish Mainland

 

A force of 5,000 Spanish troops invaded the coastal fortress of Gibraltar. The garrison was quickly overcome, but managed to hold out long enough for the British Royal Navy to escape. Out to sea, the navy could not find any sort of Spanish military vessels to destroy, and so contented itself by boarding Spanish merchantmen returning from the colonies. Great Britain Treasury: +1,000,000 ducats

 

Back to America

 

The American Tea and Revolutionary Brigades attacked Canada and Florida, respectively, meeting little to no resistance (colonial militias), and occupying the land quite easily.

[a_bert]

Man, that's a huge report. Awesome job Dusty.

 

Now to read it.

 

Edit:Good show, eh!

[Icuownage]

Urgh annoying that I swear I had spies in America too, oh well.

 

Propaganda is sent to America, saying how they could never of beaten the British on their own, so they had to bring in a forigner to do their work, is the revolution really theirs if another power did a lot of the work?

 

Propaganda is sent to Spainish nobles, saying that British was a large trading ally to Spain and that the war will not allow any very popular British goods to shipped to Spain, meaning that prices on certain products might increase, meaning less money for them, or luxuries are no longer available to them.

 

Don't think this war is over, I should have expected I'd get surrounded in one of the attacks.

 

Oh yeah it'll be interesting how you uhhhh, you know cut up the land, as the revolution wants the WHOLE of America.... Meaning Trol only gained gilbraltor, but thats only 100K, compared to him paying for deployments, and possible destruction of his own troops.

 

Actually add that to the propaganda, the American revoultion leaders have signed off their land they feel should be rightfully theirs to a country they don't even share any heritage too.

[Icuownage]

Well I have things I can probably offer that'd be quite interesting, as they'd have no land to offer as if ANOTHER country has to come into the war, if I was revolutionee, I'd just say my leaders were lazy asses.

 

I offer you protection in Australia, meaning that you wont even have to protect it yourself, and I expect no land in Australia. I will also offer one island off the coast of America.

 

Pretty sweet offer, and yes I am arse kissing because I'm outnumbered.

[Icuownage]

Don't offer assistance then be like no when someone asks for it...

[Icuownage]

Well excuse me for thinking you weren't held by the collar.

[Icuownage]

Most of my attention was diverted incase they attacked Britain >.>.... Which was a costly blunder...

 

Anywho, Spanish-American colonies helping America revolutionise, kinda makes me think said Spanish-American colonies would also revolutionise, being so close and also having just had a rather successful attack.

 

Inb4 Proxy, I'm making propaganda talk.

 

And yes Rocco, being scared to fight for the other side cause the side you'd fight against might send an army your way is being held by the collar? Or maybe I'll hand you a white feather?

[Nero]

bwahaha

[jasignhagj]

Nice writeup dusty. Although Ill admit you had me scared after the first part.

 

A new colonial propaganda campaign has been launch in Spain, encouraging Spaniards to move to the colonies and start a new life. Infrastructure projects have been launched in the colonies, and the port city of Caracas has been made the nation's 'Second Capitol' , where officials will meet to pass laws affecting the colonies and lobby their interests to The King, who will visit once every 2 years.

[Icuownage]

Yes! Move them to the war!

[jasignhagj]

So you don't want to settle for peace?

[Icuownage]

I'll settle peace with you, but America will only give harsh terms which will involve me giviing everything up.

 

Terms that are acceptable

-You keep that long row of places you captured, except the two most right ones, keep gilbraltor

-I give you the million from gilbraltor

-I call of all propganda missions planned, and remove all spies

 

In my opinion that is pretty steep.

 

On the term you leave the war and don't REJOIN. Also if any other force tries to send forces over you atleast spare a small force? Though this one is optional as it would keep me from worrying about another person joining.

[archimage_a]

Idk what you're asking. You bought a bunch of French Revolutionaries and then handed them out to the people? :S

If Doom is selling them?

No, I said French Revolutionary Guys...Like Guy Fawkes...like the Effigies of the Pope...

Kinda like scarecrows that you burn.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes#Legacy

 

 

 

Anywho, Rocco(and anyone else), are you willing to jointly attack France? The Royalists are bunglingly incompetent and Doom will only get more powerful.

 

I also use my position within the HRE to seek assistance for the war against France (Revolutionary if France is willing to invite us, Imperial and Revolutionary if not)

 

 

I also offer advanced terms to revolutionary France, namely that a border between Revolutionary France and Imperial France is established:

[deal]

The revolutionarist agree to stay south of the border and not attempt to cause revolution in the North for 20 years.

All of the French overseas colonies(minus Corsica) which are not held by the Imperial government are assigned to Prussian/other powers that got involved, the colonists are kept on for one year to teach the incoming colonists what is what and then may swear an oath of alliegence to their new country or be returned to Revolutionary France, and a sum of 100,000 Ducats is paid to Revolutionary France for the skill and time rendered.

The revolutionists hold a plebsite in all of their territories as to if they wish to remain revolutionary in 20 years time.

The costs of the armies deployed are paid by Revolutionary France.

 

Prussia, in return, will guarentee to recognise both nations, and will sigh a defensive pact with both nations(Revolutionary France against Imperial France and Imperial France against Revolutionary France) valid for the next 20 years.

Prussia also accepts that the two Frances will occationally skirmish, and will tolerate this as long as no provinces change hands.

 

[/deal]

There is room to negotiate, but I plan to be at war within two years if there is no signature.

 

If such a deal is signed, and Revolutionary France respects the deal then Prussia will turn attentions on Imperial France to accept such a deal, if they have not already.

 

 

If a lot more countries get involved, before the two Frances sign a deal, then the deal will become more sever, since they will likely want more of a reward for their involvement.

 

 

 

Elsewhere Prussia investigates Dutch Windwill design, and conducts a study (Dusty) into wind speed in Prussia, and the possibility of developing an array of windmills to provide power.

get out america icu bro

 

my people accepted help from France and Spain in history as it happened, so they're np that Spain is helping us, nor do they wish to fight such a country who is their friend. unlike Britain. who are oppressors!

[Retech]

Russia asks for a guarentee from both sides in the American conflict, that her colonies in Canada and Alaska are not affected. (Basically, is your "get out of America" speech involving all of North America or just the 48 states)
