Erm gents,

I've lost an aweful lot of troops near Berlin and the city has been raised. The AI wouldn't raize its own city that they were in, any chance of a combat report before i send the turn on?

uh oh. Here we go.

Yes, combat reports are necessary due to the poor design of PBEM in Civ3. Not necessary when you are slaughtering AI troops, but a human player's units, it is important.

sorry lads, but I remember no such agreement at any time regarding such reports

but I can tell you that One Russian Army and any other units that were located at this place have been dismissed

I will go back and get full details if you wish

do you also require to know the massive carnage that your units caused to my fine lads on the rescue mission?

Paddy, fully detailed combat reports are required.

Such as the ones I provide in the Easygoing game.

I'm surprised you're questioning this.

come forth with the post where I have ever provided such a report in a thread where the request for combat reports was not clearly stated in the opening posts

but if that be your desire so be it

so do I need to go back over the last save before the Czar will play the save that he has obviously opened

come on lads

I never ask people for them

I never do them

I am in just a few cames on three different sites



so do I need to go back over the last save before the Czar will play the save that he has obviously opened

	Suffering from ads?

Paddy, it is not unreasonable to ask for combat reports, nor it is unusual.

As Shogun mentions above, Civ3 multiplay was poorly designed. This means that it is impossible for the person defending to ascertain how many troops attacked him, how many bombarding troops, how many promotions etc etc etc, which is essential information for strategy and is provided by the game during single play.

In all games that I have been involved with it goes without saying that combat reports are provided for those very reasons.

I guess it's up to Mike if he requires a fully detailed report from you before playing the turn, but I quite understand if he does as his next moves will depend on how many troops/armies he should have seen you attacking with.

that's all.

as I said I will do them for this game - and the only one of my games where I thus do

actually it would then be very interesting how the Czar would be able to know what happened at the battle - seeing that all of his units were dismissed

so will the game be only played once a week from now on?

you probably think that this question is also unreasonable, but well we were playing at quite a good turn rate there for a while

What's a "GAF"?

Paddy, will taking a few notes when playing your turn really slow down the gameplay? Maybe I don't quite understand your post.

I hope everyone is still upbeat about this game. I like this particular scenario...

Greetings Great Czar of all the Russias

It was with great sadness that I read the battle reports of the clash of our forces at Leipzig. The losses on both sides were very high. The letters to th families took quite sometime indeed.

I regret to inform you that we may once again be at battle. My Prussian allies have requested that once Marechal Remicks forces regroup that they head further across Prussia to assist in further action. It seems you have taken another of their cities, and also have quite a force either near and / or within their lands.

As clearly stated previously, my nation fully recognizes the alliance with Prussia, and we will stand with them in this time of your invasion.

Please note that my people do not have any issues with you expanding your Empire, nor do we object to your use of Military force. What we do object to is attacking our allies. Afterall one must stand strong with ones friends and allies, as I am sure you understand.

You should be aware that we do not wish to take this battle into your country, ie across the original borders prior to your invasion. Our intent in this matter is the restoration of Prussia.

We will fight this battle as long as our Alliance stands.

May your family be well

Paddy
Marechal of France

Greetings Great Czar of Russia,

I am writing you to complain about my vacation in the Baltic states. I thought it would be a relatively easy journey from London, to Amsterdam, then through Prussia on the way to the nice Baltic Sea resorts in your country. Everything was smooth until we got to Prussia.

For a country that advertizes itself as a "vacation getaway" and "a nice place to visit", I must take issue with these ascertions. In no fewer than four incidents, Russia cossacks shot their rifles at our horse carriage.

Now, I was told something about a conflict or whatever between France and Russia, and I guess I care about what happens on the continent. However, it shouldn't matter that I was eating a French crossaint at the time that one of your sharpshooting cossacks shot the crossiant right out of my hand.

Thinking that I had put a bit too much jellybutter on the crossiant (that's what they convinced me to buy when I picked up the crossiants in Amsterdam), I concluded that I had squeezed the crossiant a bit much in my haste to touch that delictable treat to my lips -- and flipped it out the carriage window.

Well, it happened a second, third and even a fourth time. Finally, I had realized what had happend, I stormed out of the carriage and declared that I was the King of England. Despite some snickers from your soldiers, they did not shoot at me any more.

While galloping away, I yelled out the window that I would be reporting them to their superiors and they would soon be seeking employment elsewhere...hence this letter.

Can you please send your troops back to sensitivity training, perhaps even a full slate of training, and PLEASE insure that they will not be bored off their scones this time.

Yours,
King of England

P.S. I expect a full refund of my tarnished vacation, in pounds please. My cabinet informed me that the marketing pictures you sent me of the Baltic Sea beaches were really from the Ottoman Empire's Aegean beaches. That is fraud sir!
