Where confederate forces try to hole themselves up in urban areas, go around in fast movements to gain strategic ground in the advancing front while more troops surround the pockets, softening them up with artillery and attacking from all sides, forcing the pockets to either surrender or be caught in a hopeless situation. Also let it be known, though not officially, that even though looting and abuse of prisoners is discouraged even if pockets don't surrender, special care will be taken of the prisoners and towns if they surrender without U.S. troops having to fight for it.

Extend the front with the fast moving pocket technique (it will be practical most anywhere where the Confederates have inferior numbers) in addition to Arkansas and Tennessee, also into Oklahoma.

We must plan a suprise attack against Germany before they can do it to us. We need to attack very soon. I propose the following. Britain will launch a huge naval attack while Italy and Russia will launch a land attack. Once the major naval attack is finished Britain should be able to control most of the seas stopping trade with Germany. Then Britain will launch a land attack against Germany. How does that sound?

JUNE 1881 Update

North America

The Union continues to gain ground. Extending its lines into Oklohoma has paid off, drawing off other troops from a planned Confederate offensive into New Mexico Territory, which was cancelled as a result. The fighting around Memphis, however, has continued to remain static. Various attempts to turn the Confederate flank have been beaten back by well-entrenched infantry.

Several pockets of Confederate resistance have surrendered to Union forces which were encircling them.

Sioux tribes which had fled across the border to Canada are returning to Dakota Territory. The residents there fear further trouble.

Europe/Asia Minor

As usual, Europe remains quiet, though, like a gunpowder keg, a single spark could ignite the whole continent into open war.

Middle East/North Africa

Ottoman forces continue to press towards Isfahan--and Persian forces continue to beat them back. The Persians have more than made up for their technological inferiority by strong entrenchments and numerical superiority.

More bloodshed on the Arabian Peninsula, though nothing worth mentioning.

East Asia/Orient

Nothing much here. China continues to remain wary of Russia to the north and Japan to the east.

Central/South Africa

Massive Zulu uprising in South Africa! The Zulus, under their king, Cetwayo, have once again begun their drive to eradicate the British and Boers from their homelands, burning several towns and homes in central South Africa. A zulu army defeated two battalions of British regulars; this is not surprising, as they were not trained to deal with native resistance of this sort. Boer units have had more success against the Zulu hordes, but even this cannot hold off disaster without British support.

South America

Peru and Chile have made peace. The border will stay where it has been for the past 35 years.


Australia/Oceania

Nothing here.

-------

NPC Diplomacy

From: Transvaal, Orange Free State
To: Great Britain

The Zulus threaten our homes, as well as those of your people in this part of Africa. Will you send over an army to deal with this great threat?

From: CSA
To: Great Britain & Allies
*secret*

If there ever was a perfect time to catch the United States off guard, this is it! I advise an invasion from Canada in addition to your planned operations against the Germans.

-------

Other

Until more is heard from emu, Jack, and Frozzy, the countries they control will be regarded as NPC nations and thus under my control.

We are now doing 3 months/turn. Hopefully this will help speed up the NES.

U.S. to Sioux tribes :

We are extending you national status to certain land grants. Do not infringe upon settled territory and we will never bother you again.


U.S. to Germany (SECRET) :

We will give you information about all of our military technology if you will do the same for us.

Military orders :

Basically maintain the same objectives as before, give commanding officers licence to use whatever tactics work best (as long as there are no atrocities). Keep getting that army strength up and using superior numbers to our advantage. Use barges and rails to transport heavy artillery pieces for bombardment of tough spots.
a reminder- I posted earlier to keep watch over the Canadian border, that is still being maintained.

Establish defensive lines in Maryland using and improving upon the tactics of urban fighting and fortification the Confederates so generously showed us.
Defend any potential crossing sites of the Ohio River, destroy any bridges that are too much of a liability.
Make sure no Confederates get through West Virginia (this shouldn't take too many troops).
Evacuate any government staff left in DC to Philadelphia.

SEPT. 1881 Update

North America
Confederate offensive in Virginia/Maryland! The Confederates have struck at Federal forces in the vicinity of Washington DC and crushed most of the resistance. An army from New York has managed to stop the advance on Philadelphia. Washington and Baltimore are still in Federal hands, though the former is now under seige. Fortunately, most of the US government has managed to evacuate the city for Philadelphia, and Congress is now holding its sessions in Independence Hall.

A strike by the Confederates into West Virginia has been stopped and pushed out of the state by Federal forces. Confederate generals believe that if nothing is done to rectify the situation, US forces there will be able to flank the Confederates in Maryland.

The Federal offensive along the Mississippi has ground to a halt. Confederate relief troops have managed to reach the outskirts of Memphis to drive away the Federals.

Stuart's troopers out west have been raising Cain out in US-controlled New Mexico Territory. A Federal force near Tombstone was routed by a mixed force of Confederate cavalry troopers and Apaches. The incidents has been called the "Shootout at the OK Corral" after a landmark where much of the fighting has taken place.

Black conscription is helping to increase the ranks of the Confederate army, though some politicians and generals do not believe they are as effective as whites.

Confederate merchant marine captains are reporting mysterious sinkings. According to their reports, propelled torpedoes are "coming out of nowhere" to destroy their vessels. CS naval officials are investigating this.

Many Native Americans are migrating across the border to Canada at the encouragement of the British government. US troops have managed to defeat some minor incursions by the Indians, but have not been able to prevent their mass exodus.

Europe/Asia Minor

France has prepared itself for an invasion by Germany. It is calling upon its allies, Great Britain, Italy, and Russia, for aid.

Austria-Hungary has issued a statement that it will support Germany in the event of conflict. The Ottoman Empire has similiarly done so concerning its allies, France and Britain.

Middle East/North Africa

The Ottomans and Persians continue to drag on with their war, though both nations are becoming quite weary.

East Asia/Orient

Still mostly 3 nations warily keeping their eyes on one another.

Central/South Africa

The Zulus continue to wreak havoc in British South Africa and the Boer states. Disgruntled British settlers have begun thinking about joining the Boer republics due to a lack of response by the Home governmnet.

South America

Argentina declares war on United States! Responding to a call by the British government, the Argentine republic has issued a declaration of war against the US on the grounds of "unprovoked aggression against the Confederate States of America and others." With the other South American states, Brazil has delcared neutrality, while all the rest are too caught up in petty squibbles to even pay attention. Venezuela, however, has had its eyes set on British Guiana for a long time...

Australia/Oceania

Quiet as a church mouse.

U.S. to Germany (SECRET) :

We are somewhat lacking in numbers of allies. Suggestions?


U.S. to Mexico (SECRET) :

We know that the reason you were going to sell those states to the CSA was because you were strapped for cash. If you join the war on our side against the CSA we will pay you the same amount the CSA was going to only you get to keep the territories you would have otherwise had to sell.


U.S. to Chile, Paraguay, Uraguay, Brazil (SECRET) :

Argentina is just SITTING THERE! It would be a cakewalk for you to take it, and no one would be able to stop you because of the issues that are already going on.


U.S. to Venezuala (SECRET) :

go for it.


U.S. to Spain (SECRET) :

Killllllll France....Killllll France......North Africa could be yours......


to Japan (SECRET) :

Look at all those Russian, French, and British lands JUST within your grasp. You need but reach out and pluck them, and there wouldn't be a thing they could do about it.


to Canada :

The situation between us and Britain is rapidly worsening, but we don't want that to affect our relations. We earnestly hope that should our disagreements with Britain escalate you would not feel the need to fight with us, when we would both be so much happier by staying friendly.


to Ireland (SECRET) :

Britain is weak, soon will be the time for you to once again claim your independence!

etc... Give similar messages to British colonies where there is dissatisfaction with Britain.

Support troops in Maryland with an advance on Confederate lines from West Virginia.
Stop the Mississippi advance for the time being, but do not withdraw.
Send militias to deal with the Confederate incursions into New Mexico.
