Hey all!
Wondering if anyone wanted an update of Ajaccio.........
As France, my views are obviously slanted, but we're in the month of September now and clipping along at a pace of a month per week! (it's the fastest paced PBeM game I have ever been involved in, and Jeroen De Vos gets my vote as GM of the century!)
I am a little pressed for time now, but will try to start a fresh post soon.
Some highlights:
French fleets escape to Constantinople, to hide their from British naval threat;
Turkey rapidly takes control of pieces needed to form the Ottoman (can form it this month!);
France/Prussia/Austria at peace for 1805 (so far!) -- each is taking its share of minors;
Russia DOWs Sweden (controlled by France). A minor setback in Stockholm leaves Sweden alive through June -- long enough for France to DOW Russia and French reinforcements to arrive in Sveaborg!!!). Massena leads two French corps and a Swedish corps to St. Pete and (one month later) takes the capital;
Russia and France come to peace (Russian conditional surrender, corps on loan and royal marriage, with Tuscany being ceded to Russia as part of the bargain);
French fleets in Constantinople sortie past British patrol outside the Dardanelles. Ensuing battle goes very poorly for Britain. 20+ British vessels are disabled to 3 French. 17 hulks go to Constantinople.
Turks (in an amazing move of complete treachery) break alliance with France and manage to claim about half of the hulks.
French fleets are fleeing at this moment to any safe haven (Nelson is mad and he's coming!!!).
