The (formerly) Dutch city of Utrecht has joined the league of Lungs However, failure has besmirched the army which previously had never suffered defeat! The 15th Australian Fascist brigade was wiped out in skirmishes against a regiment of medieval Roman musketeers!! The musketeers were promptly annihilated by Australian tanks before Australian forces conquered Utrecht.

In other war news, the rogue Indian battleship has finally succumbed to the might of the Australian Navy, while in another sea, yet another flotilla of Indian naval vessels emerged from the shadows to terrorise the Australian city of Nagpur! When will it end?! India have a seemingly endless supply of battleships!!

Also, the Dutch mountain rebels finally suffered their first taste of Australian military muscle with the commencement of routine bombardment of their encampment. The net is closing...

Yet another glorious day for the mighty Aussies! Two more Indian cities fell with little or no resistance, while the formerly Dutch city of Essenheim also joined the Australian nation. The fortified Dutch mountain division retreated in the face of overwhelming odds, presumably in a desperate attempt to save the remaining Dutch cities from Australian control.

In other war news, Australian troops from Kurri Kurri finally broke free of it's seige with the elimination of the nearby Indian garrison. With the number of Indian cities dwindling at a great rate, so are the number of places from which St. Jon can hide. He shall be found and executed like the evil dog he is!!

Also, a stray Roman marine battalion prematurely met it's inevitable end in a pathetic attempt of halting Australian progress. Soon, the trickle will become a flood as Roman cities will be within reach of Australian troops and the world will one day be freed from the scourge of Communism!!

I knew I had a kind of a spy in my midst - but I have not been able to trace him before now.

It showed up, that he was a german lawyer. Now he is dead.

How long he have been sending reports home, I do not know. But it seems to me, like I now have to take more care of possible threats from inside my land.

BirdBrain's token alliance commitment to the Dutch were swiftly set aside, making way for the glorious Aussies to march upon Arnhem, which was added to the Australian empire

It is time for Don Bradman II to point out the folly of the Dutch joining the Roman alliance

The Dutch have impressed the world with their benevolence, integrity, and their peaceful nature. They were not under threat from Australian forces as they were considered peaceful. Now, in their imminent demise, they must see that their leader was manipulated into sacrificing their country for the benefit of Rome and their meglomaniacal leader. The only consolation is that the Dutch people will be treated humanely by their new leaders, and educated about what their misplaced trust has lead them to, and the evils of the Roman leader!!

In further news, Australian war correspondents report that Australian troops have completely overwhelmed the Indian garrison of Manali, which is now safely in Australian hands. Also, a daring mission by Indian marines to capture Nagpur has been foiled! The Indians have shown resourcefulness in their hopeless cause, but they are only delaying the inevitable. St. Jon the evil shall soon be dragged out from under whichever rock he is hiding under and promptly executed

quote: It is time for Don Bradman II to point out the folly of the Dutch joining the Roman alliance

The dutch leader and people did what any normal nation had to do, living close to a babarian, warmongering, aggresive, slaverish and treacherous tribe as the australians are.

quote: they must see that their leader was manipulated into sacrificing their country for the benefit of Rome and their meglomaniacal leader.

No of my allies were manipulated. Both the dutch and the indian leaders knew very well, that they got more from Rome than they contribuated with. True it is, that the roman people knew, no war would come from those nations - and true it also is, that the romans never would attack India or Holland.

The only leader, who is manipulated with is the german. The germans have got nothing in exchange but time. Time before the loonie australians wants german soil too. I know they were "allowed" to take a few indian cities, but no one is in doubt, who got the lions share of India.

quote: St. Jon the evil shall soon be dragged out from under whichever rock he is hiding under and promptly executed

This last eruption from the australian volcano - which the germans soon shall know too - shows: Do never believe in Don Bradmans stories and treaties - they are lies. No peace would ever have lasted between Australia and India. Sooner or later, the australian would have attacked. Peace will not stand between Germany and Australia either - remember these word later, Mr. Stavros, when your troops will be shot at by the australians. You would not be warned!

No matter what the indian leader would have done, the australian leader would not stand by his word.

But I, Senator Maximus of Rome, stand by my word to protect my allies with all possible means. I hereby allow indian and dutch settlers to establish refugeecamps well within roman homeland, where I am able to defend you until you can return to your own lands. The day will come, when the arrogant lier, the australian leader, will be prisoned and his people freed from the evil facism.

So, it seems that Maximus of the Romans is not content to have already lead the Indians and the Dutch down the path to destruction! Don Bradman II tires of crushing the weak and manipulated, and now wishes to go to the source of the problem, a course of action which is long overdue.

The Mighty Stavros of the Germans has been given the word of Don Bradman II, and have been invited to share the world with their fascist brethren in eternal peace, shall they live up to their end of the bargain. Let us not forget, that a bargain it is indeed! Australia shall not pretend to deny the fact that they gained the lion's share of India, for we make no excuses for being the model for military efficiency on earth. It is for the Germans to keep up with us, not for us to slow down. Almora was promptly handed to Germany on a platter, in itself risking the operation in the name of Australian generosity.

Australia shall not have a wedge driven into our alliance of righteousness by a meglomaniacal dictator from a primitive and impure race! The pragmatic Maximus shall soon feel the cold hard sword of principle and honour!! Don Bradman II remembers the story from his great father, Don Bradman the Great, about how the Romans rejected advances towards prolonged friendship between our peoples. The benevolence towards the impure Romans was treated with insult. Don Bradman the Great vowed that never again will Australia stoop to the levels of the impure races. Only our brethren, the Germans, deserve to stand alongside our people!

It has been a long time in coming, but soon the Romans shall be purified from their vile "religion" and be given the chance to die bravely as warriors!!

New bug, to me anyway, I was able to capture a City this Turn by maritime assault without using a Marine!

I did not think I should replay the Turn as I had Marines embarked with the Fleet and would have prevailed without loss anyway.

However, this is yet another CtP bug that could be exploited and is, I feel, contrary to all of the rules. Why have a specialist Marine Unit when anything else will do? Maybe Activision can provide the answer?

Two more Indian battleships have been sunk, only for another 5 to appear! Jon, have you got them growing on trees or something?? In any case, Nagpur was promptly recaptured, while Bombay will have to wait until next time.

Meanwhile, Den Haag fell after massive bombardment in what will be the beginning of the end for Holland's part in the war. Yet we suspect that the Dutch will continue to defy our authority, which will only result in more suffering for the Dutch.

I am very sad to hear how the dutch people are suffering from the babarious australian warfare.

If the dutch leader wishes, I will release the dutch nation from its duty as ally to Rome. I am not happy to do this, but as my nation is not able to defend Holland, I will understand if you choose this way - hoping this can bring your hard working people some peace.

The great Indian city of Darjeeling fell to the might of Australia's war machine, yet virtually no resistance was encountered! It looks like Jon, in desperation, has resorted to a game of cat and mouse. No prizes for guessing who's the mouse

However, the net is closing, and soon India shall be freed from the burden of self-governance

In other news, a peace treaty has been proposed to the Dutch, and was quickly accepted by the honourable Dutch leader, who has wisely sought to save his people from further suffering. Australia imposes no conditions on the Dutch, in an agreement of honour and integrity. Of course, the Dutch will have to get by with a fragmented country, and are expected not to interfere with our current dispute with the Romans. We shall respect remaining Dutch sovereignty, but shall pass along current routes to ensure Australian security.

In the same area, we also have our battletrained marinecorps and some green machinegunners. I advice you, to let the lastest make a permanent garrison instead of sending those youngsters to the frontline."
