Chaos

[Korpen]

It is quite impossible to get any overview of all the battle report do to the way thing have become structured. I would suggest a sub-forum for the battle reports and other (mainly OOC) information relating to them. This to make it a bit easier to get a overview of what have happen, and reduce the need to dig into threads several pages long with comments discussions to find the hard info.

Good Idea.

Speaking of chaos can the players directly involved in the war update their fleet lists and placements for the coming half year?  I've lost track of just where everything is nowadays.

This is especially true of units operating in the Indian Ocean.  I know there are fewer units there, but that area has been largely ignored (by myself) in favor of running actions in the Pacific and the relatively few special actions in the Rift Sea and Atlantic Ocean.  Mainly this may help figure our how effective (or ineffective) commerce raiding and other economic related warfare is doing in that region.

The potentially large action near Saipan (both Desertfox and Walter know one is coming) will be handled for early July as soon as I can get some more information.

Aside from that action I will need orders for all forces for July, August, and September.  Please attempt to figure in backup plans and/or courses of action your forces may take based on the success or defeat of your planned operations and if possible plans in case the enemy attacks you in other locations while your fleets are busy.  I ask this in an attempt to have this turn move along quicker than the previous turn.

For the remaining players not directly involved in the war, there is a Peace Conference to be held in Mithlond, Rohan starting on July 6.  There is an open invitation for all nations should they wish to send observers.

Gran Colombia will be dispatching Foreign Affairs Minister Eduard Torres for the Mithlond Conference.

There are no changes to Gran Colombia's port and canal operating procedures planned for the half-year, but this can change as news is released.

[Tanthalas]

Pubilus Rutilius Rufus will be in atendance as representitive of Italia

[maddox]

Minister Capet has found time to join this conference.  If it is allowed?

I understand this to be a Concert of Powers. Tough NOT to have France there, unless dissinteresement expressly declared.

Eeek, only now did I notice that Ithekro asked for orders.
Must write!
And tremble, oh Perfidious Schweitz, for I have added two more cruiser killing avisos to my OdeB!

[Desertfox]

You must mean Cruiser Killed Avisos... ;) ;D SMS Vag for one is history!

[Borys]

Ahoj!
I must have missed that PM, or pushed that HORROR from memory ... :)
Now that you mentioned it, there was SOMETHING about a scrap in the South Atlantic ...
Can you refresh my memory more?

June 17 - Launceston encounters SMS Vag near Brazilian waters and engages, since they haven't been finding any merchants of late.  The Swiss cruiser sinks the Austrian vessel after a prolonged one-sided battle.  The Austian ship never gets in range to hit with her cannon, though the Swiss cruiser uses a lot of 8" shells to put the Austrian under the water at long range, thus depleting her reserves.  The cruiser will need to to be resupplied with shells and powder to continue raiding.

[Borys]

Ahoj!
Thanks.
Borys

[The Rock Doctor]

Thanks for nothing.

Fixed...

I'll work on my orders, should have them ready tomorrow afternoon. :)
