STATE OF THE UNION ADDRESS LATE JULY 1862 (TURN 25) Hello? Hello? Is this thing on? What do you mean "what thing" trust me, it'll be funny in a hundred years time. Hello America. Or at least those of you who have decided to stay loyal. this is your President, Honest Abe Lincon, Speaking. its been a year now since the first battle of Bull Run, and It about time you were all brought up to date with the state of the war, and the Union. First off, Theres great news on the R&D front. We've manged to improve both arms manufacturing rates, and seige warfare! now we have more guns the fire and a better way to fire them!

[img]http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/8471/reportt25mv1.jpg[/img] As you can see, We have managed to take Franfort! And I'm sure you all realise that puts us one step closer to KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN!! What? not even a small cheer? whats up with you people? Well, onto the war, Buell retreated rather than fight a force twice his size, let that show that we're not getting your sons and husbands killed for no reason! although the diseased batch of bedding sent down to Arkansas was a bit of a boo-boo, but hey, these things happen in war! and we're not even going to talk about the diplomatic situation, if it carried on like this, I might have to do something drastic, like freeing the slaves or something. [img]http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/3111/eat25uc6.jpg[/img] Now I know that the sight of 156,000 men in Petersburg may look like a major problem when compared to our 79,000. but rest assured that Those reports are poor, I estimate only 100,000 men there, 120,000 at the most! now lets have a look at our boys in detail. [img]http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/2980/aowt25yi9.jpg[/img] [img]http://img296.imageshack.us/img296/7523/3rdcorpt25rf7.jpg[/img] As you can see, The Army of washington is well motivated, (fairly) well equipped, but a little short on numbers. as is third corp. but this shouldn't people. I've just sent order out for a fresh wave of mustering! thats right! thousands more of you will be given the chance to die for your country! to cope with this fresh influx of corpses, I mean soldiers, a new barracks will be built in Harrisberg. [img]http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/6171/mustert25nc7.jpg[/img] In Kentucky, as already mentioned, Operation "Finger Licking Good" has been a resounding success! the state captial has been captured and our forces are moving to the West Ohio river to take control of this vital lifeline for deep fried Chickeny Goodness! (it also gives us a chance of retreating if Jacksons army decides to come and visit.) [img]http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/986/cat25ng7.jpg[/img] [img]http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3494/opflgt25iw9.jpg[/img] As you can See, we need to up weapons prodution to properly arm our boys fighting in Kentucky for Union, Freedom, Democracy and Fast Food. [img]http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/9843/westernarmyt25rk5.jpg[/img] [img]http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/4816/wat25ta5.jpg[/img] The West shows the same problem - our fighting troops are spending so much time at the fronts, theres no time to upgrade their weapons! be assured that we know this is a problem, and your loved ones will not be using weapons their grandfathers could recognise much longer! but think on this, their winning despite having 100 year old weapons! Oh yeah, and I've ordered them to up the seige, so we can get them back on the road to hurting the rebels! Now for a word to all you governers. You do not all need manufacturing centres Quit asking for them. it aint going to happen. The economy is strong enough without you requesting things that have no real use in the war effort. [img]http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/2008/diplomacyt25tb4.jpg[/img] To those of you in the audiance from the so called "Old World" please, give me a break, I've thrown so much money your way, the streets of london, paris and every other captial city of Europe must be paved with gold! and what do I get? nothing! what do those dusty, bad bearded slavers get? every shiny peice of technology you come up with! for the love of all that is holy, don't make me come over there and burn you citys to the ground! don't think I won't do it! Now finally. I'd like to say thank you, you've been a great audiance, Peace out! No! were not surrendering! its just a saying! What do you mean my beards slipping? err. Gotta go, Cya!
