Yes sir, our recon aircraft have confirmed...yes sir...estimated to be about 20 Capital Ships with at least 2 carriers we know of, along with about 100 escort vessels...destroyers, cruisers...likely subs also sir. Yes sir, this looks to be it...we have told our Far East Command to expect an imminent attack. Yes sir, the men are ready to fight sir. We have already sent a message to the French by the usual channels sir...yes sir, we don't know what the American's will do sir, but they seem to be as isolationist as ever sir. Yes sir...I'll send your thanks to the Admiralty...yes sir...lucky we had that coast watcher in place."

Subject : Japanese maneuvers

The British seem worried about the Japanese naval forces sighted off French Indochina. We are certain the Japanese wanted to be seen. Until the British and French report landings no special concern should be felt about Japanese movements. The Japanese are perfectly capable of sailing without being observed, and these sightings were last month. We have been hearing about Japanese forces in this area for quite awhile. There is nothing new here.

This is not to say the Japanese will not head this way, but we would be more worried if the Japanese fleet were not located.

Japan asks a simple quesiton, Would the French or the British send their transports loaded with food, medicine and building supplies through the Danish straights into the Baltic without escort ?

Such Eurocentric attitudes will always result in a war.

We do note however that the openly hostile British and thier cohorts the French have constructed harbors for warship construction which can only mean one thing, they are planning on fighting a war at sea.

Brazil has joined the Japanese sphere of influence, we look forward to extending the humanitarian aid to the South American continent in the near future.

Status: offline 		The French do not take lightly the Imperialistic Japanese insinuation that they are a second rate world power, hence the linking of our peoples as British "cohorts". And since when is South America considered part of the Japanese "sphere of influence". More likely the Japanese need for oil to fuel its war machine even as witnessed in the recent takeover of the oil rich middle eastern area is behind this Japanese attempt at disinformation . We do hope that the rest of the civilized world can see clearly who the real "openly Hostile" nation is.
And the peaceful French and British program of rebuilding their respective merchant fleets after the horrific losses taken during the War with Germany are none of the Japanese peoples concern either.

Status: offline 		Just letting everyone know I ended up opening the file for this 3 times. The first time I was halfway through the turn, was taking a break and one of my students turned off the computer....GRR. Second time
I accidentally pushed the 'declare war' button on Britain, when I meant to send a message, so I had to abort the turn. The 3rd time I actually finished the turn.

Apologies to all.

I was at the beach for six days so you all probably noticed a switch in computers twice, causing messages each time.

Status: offline 		The French have opened their borders with Italy and have begun to ready refugee camps for the Czech civilian and military streaming slowly across Italy to flee the advancing Germans. We thank the Italian government for its fair treatment of the Czech refugees. It is doubtful that the Poles can be saved though.

Status: offline 		It's been a strange few turns, I open the round and I get all sort of declarations of war and then agreements of peace. Two turns along and it's still the same. I'd say almost a bit suspicious. Collusion amongst players to game the system and gobble up neutrals without actually triggering any real fighting ?

Status: offline 		The French fought for Poland I and Germany attacked and I at least am trying to get peace back as I have no intention of staying at war with France Britain and Italy. That as been true in EVERY game I have played so far. The Soviets invade Poland after the Germans and the allies make peace.

I thought diplomacy was an integral part of the game.

".......game the system?" Cant speak for any others but I'm afraid my skills as a player are well below being able to pull that off.

This was achieved by the expenditure of influence and Political Points with no recourse to phony declarations of war, all made possible by Italy steering clear of military conflict, a path it shall continue to follow unless forced to do otherwise.

Bratislava is now German earned in blood from the Czechoslovakians. Italy has made peace with the Soviet Union no direct attacks were made on Italian allies in the Balkans, so we see no basis for sustained conflict.

Japan extends economic aid to it's allies. Trying to make the most of the peace.

than a week.

To all those that have gone through this experience of moving house before, you have my condolences. I don't think I've been so exhausted in all my life. Just when you think you've
got everything done and ready, something else comes up that needs to be taken care of. This process continues and continues and continues.......

The old saying "3 moves is as good as a fire for getting rid of stuff" rings pretty much true in my experience.
