I am actually mellow for the the most part (granted, I do have a short fuse), the over-agressive and dickblister personality is something I do so some folks can de-stress by ridiculing.
I'll ridicule u regardless of whether ur being a dickblister or not
You're trying to deflect, look I've seen some of your personality over the past several years so we're not random strangers, I know you tend to be angry, but the past several months I keep seeing you in similar light to Const.
^
exactly
I could be like you - mellow for the most part who is an overly aggressive dickblister online.
that's like everyone on the internet bruv
Jaslandia
Basically. We only shout and bawl because we're online. If we were all sitting in a pub together around a table, I doubt the talks would be as heated as they are here. People converse differently in real life than they do online (some of them anyway.)
Jaslandia
Exactly, a nice pint and a snout and wait for it all to blow over
I don't drink.
I know, I know, I'm a Scotsman that doesn't drink. I'm a traitor to my people, not a real Scotsman etc. etc.
Jaslandia, Mercunova
ahahahahaha no
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Mercunova
I haven't defended Tories being killed like Const once defended gays being killed in the ME. So I don't think I'm -that- bad.
Axeldonia, Lex Caledonia
then you can have a pint of water
I have a Southern Comfort and lemonade once in a blue moon.
And maybe you can give me a joint to chill, since you know, I'm so full of hate and need to funnel it into something productive.
Mercunova, Yukona
My names Yukona and I can confirm that smoking a joint is the single most productive thing you can do.
Nuremgard
We should be more like the Dutch.
The Dutch should be more like us mate
You mean they should Brexit too? ;) Or Dexit? Netherexit?
Mercunova, Yukona
What have I done to you all that you treat me like this? :(
Hi, Peng. How are you?
Let's say I am alright.
You?
I was a bit miffed earlier but I'm alright now. Just listening to music like I always do when I want to relax. What are you up to?
I am watching videos on YouTube.
What kind of videos are you watching?
Penguania And Antarctica
Right now I watch a video about money, how it works and how it is worth something.
But I also watch let's play videos or funny videos.
Do you watch any?
Nuremgard
I'm listening to Michael Jackson songs right now.
What do you think about the EU's decision to discipline Hungary?
I didn't pay much attention to it. So I can't say anything about it. Sorry.
Nuremgard
That's cool. I only asked in case you had read about it recently.
Well, I would have liked to but due to an unable newsie the newspaper isn't delivered as early as should be and my father takes the politics part with him to work to read it during his break. And since he is working late shift i don't get the chance to read it.
There are online newspapers surely?
I like to read the printed newspaper. I'm an old school person.
Our newspaper has a very unique name. It's called 'Volksstimme' ('People's Voice').
Nuremgard, Anglia Imperium
Cool name. I don't buy physical newspapers.
Penguania And Antarctica
Well we have standing order for our regional newspaper.
Nuremgard
I tend to read the Guardian for UK news and the Herald for Scottish news. I'm considering giving up on the Herald though.
Speak for yourself I'd smash a pint glass on the table just to get my point across
Nuremgard, Yukona
Hmm ok. I don't pay much attention to the national newspapers here.
Nuremgard
You'd fit right in if you went to a Scottish bar.
I don't blame you. I don't know why I bother with newspapers at all.
Yukona
Why were you miffed was it that English d*ckhead who keeps provoking you I heard hes a right c*nt
Nuremgard, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica
He cant help it. It's not his fault he was born English.
Jaslandia, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Yukona

Some stuff for Comrade Russkov Soviet
[spoiler]
*Titan Of Iberia*
Official communication channel of all Iberian Soviet forces in Iberia: The government of Spanelsko has declared the Legion of the North.... the operation has been approved by the High Marshals and the final offensive has been given blue light, in other words the general offensive will begin soon, in 3 weeks 100.000 regulars (soviets make 70000 of all the regulars) accompanied by 150.000 Militia will land in Baltic, the reserves, soviets, and radical militia of Basque has been called upon, accompanied by 750 artillery guns, all remaining tanks and vehicles, 300 AA cannons, this general offensive will focus on our main task, with the red army stuck in Leningrad the rush for Moscow can begin, we will lead the assault near northern Belarus, with 15K regulars and 2K militia making their way for Minsk, the general Ulrich will be in full command of this entire operation, the navy was given the order of ´´Wolf of the Atlantic´´ search and destroy missions to eradicate all remaining Unionist presence on the sea, for 1 and a half week before the massive army arrives, while all of this operation goes on the navy will continue its operation in case something was missed, all air forces will be moved to our Baltic bases to support the spear head attacks, small detachment of 7K regulars will also push from the southern points near Leningrad to cut of any remaining red army supply routes in south, with this it will join up with the 17th Baltic Army to capture the city, all our allies will also begin their assaults from south and east towards Moscow, task is simple, by December 22nd Moscow must fall, if we fail the government will consider peace talks with the Red Army, or general retreat. Remember December 22nd is our deadline, main central attack towards Moscow will be support by 90% of all men from all the 6 guards, the best of the best. We will be constantly be supplied with additional forces, all remaining reserves and soviets as well as Portuguese will arrive in the next 4 weeks of the offensive. This is the final offensive my brothers, we will finish what those who died in Madrid and all over Iberia started, we will behead the Red Bear, may the Dragon of Death be with us! FOR THE FINAL VICTORY![/spoiler]
Long live the Dragon of Death.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
while doing a large escalation of the conflict (as i won't have as much time as before probably thus why i did it in a bit rushed way)
i want to say that even if i may one day leave NS i want to say that i loved this region, even if it a bit less then it used to be, i enjoyed my time here and want to thank you all for some interesting things to read, the fights, penguins and trains (not sure where i am going with this) etc. hopefully the year 2019 will be a good one for all of you :)
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Percyton
My friend showed me a picture of my old college crush recently. He is single, on Tumblr and (according to him) now a sapper in the British Army.
Shame he isn't gay or even bi. I'd climb that now uniformed man like a tree.
Russkov Soviet, Axeldonia, Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Spanelsko
I'll try to get the final drive results as quickly as possible.
When that day comes, you will be missed. A statue of your leader, along with your national flag and other items, will rest in an honored spot within the International Community Memorial here in Mareskov. Words cannot describe how much you will be missed, but know that you are a great friend. Godspeed.
Percyton, Spanelsko
No need to rush as i said before, i know you have more important stuff to do :)
(as i see the paragraph as a similar to RP i do the same kinda)
[spoiler]thank you for these words, comrade Coltsov, although i would question how anyone could miss me, i mean we invaded your nation twice by now, this time with actually alive soldiers rather then the dead, we lead war against half the world and lost, we are more than fuc*ed up when it comes to our regime (slavery, serfdom, child labour) and we are quite genocidal, except for the case of your people and the people of our other former allies and friends, like our friend Tangshan, the train nation of Sodor, German Penguin Empire, the African nation and the Scandinavians (so we don't really kill as many as one would expect ironically) and i brought our nation into many civil wars many times, my legacy is one pf utter chaos and death just as is our religion, i wouldn't be surprised if i was the most hated leader in the world as of now. A mad despotic tyrant. However, i would indeed be honored by this act, even if i pass away... Spanelsko and my.... our Iberia will remain, maybe even one day it will become free from its past of madness and be free from all the chains.
-Signed by: The Eternal Leader of Spanelsko, the Mad Tyrant, Field Marshall High Priest of Death. Known by many other names and titles. [/spoiler]
I am not sure if it would fit into the new one so: [spoiler]
295K regular used (100K of them Sov), 70K cav used, 8K elite used, 170K militia (overall Manpower used: 543K)
(this above is statistics of all my used forces in this war and i count also the mission they will be part of which is Moscow. Thus why the numbers are so high, it was made to make it easier for me to keep check upon them and what i have left.)
Reinforcements: 40K regulars (mobilised) will act as MPs in Belarus. 28K Cav as MPs in Baltic. 2500 elite will join the Leningrad battle.
100K regulars (portugese army) 20K regulars (Sov) 40K Cav 2K militia,will join with 40% north group, 20% south Group, 20% Leningrad and the rest (20%) will join centre
Sorry for how complex it is (while it could be done in a far better way i did what i could so that's why its a bit of a mess)
[/spoiler]
Sorry if it causes a headache it took me around 2 hours to make all of this, and even i know that its a bit of a mess :p
New part of the memories was added, the main point being at its end where the s. commander asks for a 2 day cease fire, for civilians to evacuate and to bury the bodies of the dead. Its up to whether you use this idea or not. I am also planning on later doing a small speech for the massive attack, but that is for tomorrow or later (probably later as i know myself)
I pointed it out here since its quite easy to miss and i am not updating it that regularly.
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
[spoiler]Operation Legion of the North, Moscow Rush. Details given to all commanders in Iberia.
This Operation is formed by 5 armies, Army Group Centre, Army Group South, Army Group North, 21st Tank Army and 12th Mechanised Army. Leaders: Army Group North: Supreme Commader Alrazeth, Army Group South: High Marshall August Werringer von Bayern, Army Group Centre: General Ulrich himself, 12th Mechanised Army: Mechanised Infantry Commander Albrecht Ervin, 21st Tank Army: Supreme Tank General Zaragovich Dietrich.
Task: Army Group North will advance with 25K regulars with the same task as was mentioned before, however before the detachment makes its way near Leningrad this force advance from Southern Estonia towards Novgorod, once the force arrives the split will happen and both forces will act according to their orders, the remaining 18K will capture the city and leave a garrison force of 2K men there, it will serve as a defence point in case of a fall back, rest will advance further east all the way to north of Moscow, supporting the main assault on the city from North. Lead by the Supreme Commander Alzareth. During all of this a force of 200 tanks will support them, these tanks will be used for the continuation of the advance in the north, with at least 15 being in Novgorod. If Possible 20 will be added as a support for the detachment going for Leningrad.
Army Group South will continue with its task as well, however additional force of 28K Militia supported by 5K regulars will clean up any resistance in the Northern areas of Belarus, with another smaller force of 20K militia starting from Vilnius towards the town Hrodna and then towards the border of Ukraine in the south, once the border is reached push towards east will begin. If Minsk doesn't fall by that time than half of this force will continue north east pressuring the city from south, what remains of all these forces will set up defences on Border of Belarus according to the plan of the ´´Ulrich Line´´ with 3K militia in Minsk keeping order, as well in case that the line is breached the city will already be defended and with defences, so the retreating forces can use them as well. Novgorod is also part of the Ulrich Line, thus why it will also be fortifying itself as its a good point of defence in the northern sector, but that part is of course reserved for the northern army. The Minsk attack will be supported by 80 tanks with additional 20 being part of the southern part of the force that is heading for the town of Hrodna and continuing down south.
Army Group Centre will be heavily supported by the Mechanised Army as the Centre and Mechanised will go from the northern border of Belarus as well as along the entire Latvian border pushing forward for maximum spearhead potential, 30% of this force will go in southern sectors capturing Smolensk and then joining with the main force moving towards Moscow from South.
20% of all forces will join up with the northern groups and begin assault from North, while also pushing behind Moscow encircling the city and cutting it off from land routes of supply and forces. The 50% also known as the rest will push forward right for Moscow and be spearheading the overall assault on the city. Overall numbers are 105K Militia, 55K regulars. With the 5K militia and 5K regulars remaining being used as reinforcements behind the line, near Moscow once its reached but they will act upon what the Red Army does and according to casualties. 1000 Vehicles will help out the Centre. With small help from the 21st Tank Army, which will provide 515 tanks.
21st Tank Army will provide with its remaining 800 tanks support near Smolensk and will continue its own push south est towards the allied forces, providing heavy support for them, then it will split into two and the first half will continue with the allied force towards Moscow to support the southern attack while the rest will make their way towards north east this time helping the Siberian Army, however if resistance is too much it will return to Smolensk and be used as reinforcements for all the other parts of the army with armored support.
70% of all AA and Artillery will be part of the Centre, rest will be split equally for both the other Groups North and South.[/spoiler]
Russkov Soviet the entire plan is here, i will add a bit more with the future reinforcements but this is how it will look from the start.
Russkov Soviet, Percyton
Hello all! Percy here! I came by to say 'hello', but also to address something that's been in the news lately. As you may have heard, there's been a lot of controversy regarding the NRA in America putting a white hood (which my driver told me is associated with a racist organization called the Ku Klux Klan) over a picture of me and my friends.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/12/us/nra-tv-thomas-tank-engine.html
https://www.mediamatters.org/video/2018/09/10/nratv-puts-kkk-hood-thomas-tank-engine-attempt-make-point-about-diversity/221262
https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/nra-kkk-hoods-723567/
Needless to say we find these images disgusting and horrible in every way, and Mattel (the parent company of our TV series) has said the same thing. We do not approve of racism and hatred, nor do we approve of people using our show and likeness for racist purposes. And as a sidenote, I've been told NRA stands for 'National Rife Association', so I'm not sure what our TV series has to do with rifles or any other type of gun.
As for how we've been taking it personally, everyone is disgusted by it, but some are taking it better than others. Gordon is absolutely outraged, although not just for the pictures (Gordon: "All these articles say we're 'trains', and we're not! We're engines! 'Train' refers to an engine and whatever they're pulling or pushing! Simple research could have told you that!" "Why do so many of these news articles talk about how the Reverend Awdry created this franchise in 1945 based off of tales he told his son Christopher while Christopher was sick with measles? While that is all true, the current series is quite far from Awdry's vision; the Reverend would be spinning in his grave if he saw what the show had become!").
Ironically, perhaps the one taking this the best is Nia, the tank engine from Kenya whose appearance is what made the NRA so upset in the first place. Nia has sadly heard this kind of abuse before, and she's learned to ignore it and focus on being Really Useful.
Nia: Indeed, Percy. What good is it to get upset over every insult and harsh comment? I would much rather work and spend time with friends than dwell on all the criticism that's been thrown my way.
Percy: That's a good attitude, Nia!
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Aleksi: Oh dear... I'm sorry to hear that Percy. I didn't expect this, but then again...
Luna: People are absolutely crazy.
Aleksander: I'm with Gordon on that.. Having visited enough times, I can understand the anger.
Aleksi: KKK engines? What's next I wonder?
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Hello, Percy! I've heard about that story. The pictures and the NRA fanning the flames of outrage is despicable, although like Gordon, I've also been annoyed at the lack of knowledge about the franchise and basic railway terminology shown by the news outlets covering this story.
On that note, the revamped series that is causing this controversy has started airing in the UK. What do you think of it so far, Percy?

Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Eh... I don't want to say too much out of fear of Mattel listening, but I will say that while there's stuff and episodes I don't like about the new season, it's not all bad, and there have been things I really liked too. Some of the episodes are still strong, they did a great job introducing Rebecca into the series, and while a lot of the international episodes are weak, most of the episodes on Sodor are pretty good. And if you're wondering how true these episodes are, most of the Sodor episodes are true (excluding 'Forever and Ever' and anything about Edward and Henry moving out of Tidmouth Sheds or Nia and Rebecca moving in), and while a few of the things from the international episodes are based on things that have happened to Thomas on various international trips throughout the years, most of the international episodes were either made up by the writers or only loosely based on real events.

Hello Comrade Percy, long time since we last spoke right? Anyway its good to see ya once again, how are our trains/engines doing in your land? Same for you and your other engines? Have everything been alright? We can always send some people from the technical and engineering departments, also i wanted to ask, did we by accident hit some railway or civilian area? During our attack on the Unionist base in your land some have reported some potential damage done to the wrong targets (we did bomb the base for an hour so some missed shots may have occurred) If it did i want to apologise for all of the spanelskan air forces. We can always send some money or workers to repair the damage.

Hello, Span! We've been good here on Sodor. We have our own people to do technical stuff, but we appreciate the offer. And my Minister of Defense Neville told me some bombs hit Kirk Ronan (the settlement closest to the Russkov Soviet base). We got really lucky, though: most hit in the countryside just outside the city, and the ones that did hit Kirk Ronan itself landed on a community center that was destroyed but unoccupied at the time, so nobody was hurt. We're working to fix the damage now, but some money to help us with that would be appreciated!
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
My apologies Percy... I should have seen to the increase in air and sea units around the area, but I didn't want to seem like I was abusing your hospitality. The good news is that we have managed to get the airspace locked down, but some subs and small ships may slip through our patrol screen. I've dispatched the 19th Guards Army, totaling around 5,000 soldiers with more on the way, to further garrison the area. As much as it pains me to say this, until the conflict is over, I fear for the safety of Sodor and the Mainland.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Bah, more useless issues I had to dismiss!
Russkov Soviet, Nuremgard, Mercunova
In that case we will send around 500M for repairs, they will arrive near south of your island in a small ship, unless they are bombed from the air by the Unionists, our guarantee of your independence is still active so we will not further pressure the commie base in your land, unless they bother us again, which was the main reason for the strike in the first place.

Comrade Russkov Soviet i know that's a bit late to ask, but i remember us agreeing that we will fight with what we both have, as i was considering how the war goes i expected you to use your own RP numbers as i did, but now i see you wasting half of that force for no reason, so let me guess, i was mistaken and you are actually using the millions of soldiers you have?
Not that i would plan to back down, i mean we are winning currently somewhat so why would i give up in our moment of victory?
Random stuff i found out about one of my favourite issues:
[spoiler]
I didn't know that as socialist economy we get a different text for both the option and its result, i always only seen the capitalist/mixed
Bonjour! interjects Victor Reno, a dignified-looking gent who you thought was just a cleaner, as he places a handgun on your desk with its barrel pointing towards you. OneClickDeath Industries sends its greetings. We would like you to legalise and nationalise our little project, so we can move from the dark web and into the light of state-sanctioned slaughter, Marxism-motivated murder and anti-capitalist decapitations. We would gladly operate from a centrally-administered target list, in return for favoured positions within the Peoples Communist Party. Just think on it. He departs, leaving the handgun on the table.

Greetings friends and foes :D
Percyton
how are you peng?
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I had to dismiss an issue about expats because the only solution that would help employment would class citizens who left the country as traitors.
Penguania And Antarctica, Mercunova, Spanelsko
I'm alright. Bit tired from work. Hbu?
Percyton, Spanelsko
Hmm? I must have miscounted.
Spanelsko
Hmmm? 500k? That shouldn't be... -checks post- Oh.. Well, my notes say 5k. So why did I... -double checks notes- Oh.. Well, that's embarrassing. I switched the numbers. Its supposed to be 500k on the front line and 5k to Sodor. Whoops... I knew I would misread my data eventually.
Spanelsko
quite alright, not much happened today
don't worry it happens to the best of us, maybe i shouldn't have mentioned this, it would have made slaughtering half of the entire red army soooo easy....
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
-laughs- It would have indeed. I'm almost done calculating some of the opening battles, but I do have the fate of Leningrad finished. I'll post that later, as I need to check it to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Percyton, Spanelsko
k, i was still wandering about the sea battles and if the plan actually worked, anyway its good to know that your army will be able to fight properly, i am ´´fair player´´ when it comes to war, while it makes no sense to help my own enemy, fighting on equal terms is important for a true show of power.
[spoiler]
*meanwhile in base somewhere near Zaragoza*
High Marshall Lord Inquisitor Emperor: How goes the project Apocalypse comrades? Scientist: Great my Emperor, with the world focused on our war with the Red Bear of the East we have managed some breakthroughs in our goal, we think that in 2 years maybe a bit sooner our dream of nuclear weapons will no longer be a dream, yesterday we finished a fully functional prototype of a new rocket that can strike most of the planet, with biological or chemical for now, as nukes will take far longer. Might i suggest to steal and recruit any enemy scientist we can capture? I am sure that they could be quite helpful, in our other projects in 7 months we will finish the new models of guns, but by that time the war likely be finished unfortunately.
HMLIE: Good, keep me updated upon any new findings, death seekers? I have a mission for you. 2 of your members will go to Kiev, as you are our elite assassins i expect you to kill as many Red officers as you can find, and mainly target any governors or other people with political or administrative power, i want to test how good are the special forces of the Unionists. [/spoiler]
Russkov Soviet
The Speech of the Leader.
[spoiler]
High Marshall Lord Inquisitor Emperor:
My people, my comrades, my soldiers, sisters and brothers of our eternal cause, be you in the damned navy, the cursed air force, or the blood army, today we stand before our greatest challenge, the red army has proven to be incompetent just as me and our commanders as well as high Marshalls have said many times, we have bested them in Baltics, we burned their legendary city of Leningrad into ground, we crushed their spirit, and we will break whatever they have left, their once proud nation struggles against us as it did before, before our time, but we will push far deeper than the 2 tyrants who failed to defeat the Russian menace. Our comrades in Baltics, and our new brothers and sisters from the Baltic nations hear me, for i declare the Final Offensive! We will avenge all the fallen, our families who were killed by the reds! Today we will begin our final crusade to eradicate the failed ideology that is
soviet communism! Nationalists, Fascists, oppressed democrats, defeated spiritualists. Hear me! We are your liberators! And soon we will march through the gates of Moscow! May the Union burn with the fire of war! DEATH IS ON OUR SIDE! FOR UNITED CHAOS!
*end of the speech broadcasted to all forces and people in Iberia and Baltics as well as other occupied regions*
[/spoiler]
´´Research´´ [spoiler]
*again near Zaragoza, Special Research Division Gamma*
Emperor: I want the MPs to begin rounding up civilians from villages and towns in Russia and Belarus, but in case of Belarus only if we get stuck for too long in there, i want them transported to here, and mainly to the 7 bases near Madrid, you already know what we are going to use them for right? We need around 30K civilians at least, also as we going to do this we will take a bit more, around 10K more to build up the camps as slaves, after the war we will of course release them, but only the 10K not the 30K as they might not survive the test, as for POWs what are we going to do about them you ask? Nothing much really, we transported them already here and put them to the safe camps, they are treated quite well, better than most would expect, some of them even called it something like a ´´vacation hotels´´ quite funny in my opinion, anyway i will leave you to do what you do... i am sure that you would be greatly satisfied with the new test subjects. [/spoiler]
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Nice speech, but one thing is wrong. Leningrad. I have yet to confirm the fate of the city, but will do so once I get home from work in... three hours. And I wouldn't say we're incompetent, but rather rattled. Our military is well trained and the officers are very capable. The only reason we struggle is due to our guard being let down, so you caught us by surprise. Just telling the truth. Now... If your leader is saying that to rally the troops? Then by all means! Propaganda is key. XD
(Results will be posted as follows:)
Leningrad - Tonight
The English Channel - Tonight
Final Offensive - Friday or Saturday
You are still 'winning' the war, but resistance has stiffened. This "Final" Offensive may or may not be the last one, depending on what the simulator and data calculates.
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton, Spanelsko
OOC
It is completely propaganda only :p we know that we have the advantage mainly due to the surprise attack, but we have to keep a strong leader/leadership reputation and having a great morale is always useful :)
Also the Final Offensive has that name to further boost the morale, just as the final victory, boosting spirits for maximum advantage. We are prepared already for a defence in case things go wrong, since we are making the Ulrich line, which also covers partially (not much was set up as of yet) the Belarusian border as well, in case this went horribly wrong.
ALSO just so you know the camps i mentioned aren't death camps, your people will may die but it isn't its purpose.
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica
Alright. I'll put the Ulrich Line in my notes, just in case the numbers favor us. And you should hear some of our propaganda, but I am too busy doing the data xD
*Disclaimer* I run each battle 100 times to ensure that the end result is fair. I base my simulations off of Deadliest Warrior, but instead of a squad of five, its thousands.
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
i am sure its full of patriotism and other stuff right? :p
I would like to see some in the future but i am fine imagining what it must be like :p
Russkov Soviet
If I can, I'll put a speech made by one of the officers commanding the 3rd Corps outside of Minsk. (Edited previous post w/ a disclaimer)
Spanelsko
i hope that he will be alive by the time he gives his speech, since he doesn't have much time left before a possible attack XD
Also 100 times? No wonder it takes so long, now i feel a bit bad :p
Russkov Soviet
He should be, given the fact that his unit is in the rear.
And its alright. It only takes me about 4-5 hours to get 250 simulations done.
Spanelsko
ok, good to know, also one thing i forgot to explain, the Leningrad part was meant as you said that the city is destroyed for the most part we called it the ´´burning of Leningrad´´ although we did plan in case we would capture it to burn it (except for the Winter Palace) so this is the small explanation.
I should also mention one thing, in case we manage to win this or settle on a peace deal due to stalemate/too much losses i have no clue what we would want to demand XD
Russkov Soviet
Ahh... Right. And don't fret over the demands....yet.
Spanelsko
yeah no need to think about something like that until we have no other options right?
Also good night, i hope that everything goes as planned *tomorrow: Sir, we have lost 80% of all our forces and we are surrounded*
Russkov Soviet
i forgot this game existed hi
Russkov Soviet, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
Alrighty Spanelsko,
As promised, I would have the "winner" of Leningrad and the current state of the English Channel. The simulations took me a little longer than anticipated, due to the internet disconnecting mid-trial, so I had to re-run the last 25%. It is very late as of this post, so I apologize for the super simplified results.
"The Red Army takes Leningrad! Daring assault pays off!"
Yep, I ran a few scenarios including a massive, all out assault with one of our best divisions. None other than the 7th Guards Army, dating back to 1938. The success rate was 65/100, which is surprising given the fact that the first 30 attempts failed on the sim. We managed to push deep into the city, take back the Winter Palace (and capture Commander Ulvariovich.), and inflict heavy casualties on your troops. You didn't lose 80% (like your last post suggests xD) but rather only 45%. Rather than face the possibility of being surrounded, thanks to a push by the 91st Division, your forces pulled back a bit. Not to the Ulrich Line, but rather 15 miles away from the city.
The English Channel hasn't shown anything interesting. All I'm noticing is that daytime transport is a no-go. You'd be better off running at night or with subs. I'm still looking into it.
(I haven't implemented these yet, for the time line is a few days slow. xD)

[spoiler]The High Treason Order 77
High Marshall: It has been declared that the commander in charge of the army that was supposed to take over Leningrad is a traitor., after the capture of our supreme commander Juan Miguel was sentenced to public execution, all TVs and radios of the Iberian Nation have broadcasted the execution together with the international ones, the form of execution was being thrown to the dogs, he was then torn apart by horses... well at least what remained of him, this has now also become one of the 3 execution types possible for treason on the eastern front my Emperor, the other are public cannibalism (being eaten alive) and burning (being burned alive) with this unexpected failure and treason, we have decided to leave the Leningrad matter to you great Inquisitor, what are your orders?
Emperor: ..... THAT **** I WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM PERSONALLY IF I WAS THERE! SKINNED HIM ALIVE WITH MY BARE HANDS! HOW THE F*CK DOES ANYONE DARE TO DEFY MY ORDERS?! NO RETREAT IN LENINGRAD MEANS FIGHT TO THE LAST MAN!
*20 minutes later* I am fine again.... for this we will repay the reds very dearly..... we abandon restrictions.... artillery, air force, navy, everyone is allowed to fire on civilian targets, we no longer follow any laws of war.... we will PURGE MOSCOW! THAT IS MY ORDER! 80% of our air force will help with the push for Moscow, but the rest will fully focus on fire bombing Leningrad.... and mainly civilian areas in that city..... same for Winter Palace... hopefully no one else will try to defy my orders again..... order the army near Leningrad to surround it in the south of the city, it will be impossible to regain it back from the bolsheviks. Order the army to bring overall 200K civilians, we will increase the number of tests and slaves.... we will remake Madrid fully.... [/spoiler] OOC the reason the leader is angry, is mainly because of 2 things, 1: No Retreat 2: Defeat however we do allow retreat if its the better option of course, but Leningrad was supposed to be held until death.... all defences and tunnels wasted due to a traitor!
ALSO in case that its hard to understand what i meant: The supreme commander was captured by you so the other guy who was just a commander had to take over the leadership, which resulted in retreat from the city... which is why he was executed. I have worded it quite poorly as i am looking at it again.

Hey everyone! Just got back to Iraq from Vacation was short but gotta start making that money again! Hope the Confederacy has been doing well since i last saw last month

I understood what happened, despite 'poor' wording. I assure you, we are taking good care of Commander Ulvariovich. One of our Lieutenants read some of his seized memoirs, and we are going to honor his wish to be home by Christmas. And beware calling for unrestricted warfare, for your coastline is anything but safe. xD. I'll have the final pieces of the data tonight, so I'll be able to figure out where the battle lines stand at this point.
Spanelsko
Don't worry comrade, i am sure that even if you managed to invade our land you would suffer much more then us, we fortified our land so much that its basically a fortress in many places, be it the coastlines or the cities, tunnels and trenches are a common thing here, just as hidden supplies and camps for militia and others who would prefer to die for our cause rather then to serve a foreigner. Not to mention we have still a large force back home, so i really doubt that you could pose any threat to us back home. I am a bit surprised that you treat him well, i expected him to be tortured and stuff (common practice here) as for unrestricted warfare, its mainly due to the massive fail of the traitor, and due to my pride suffering with the lost battle. Also its still better then if we went all out, i mean really... we could be far more deadly.
Russkov Soviet
Well.... It's not every day that the National Guard decides to roll through with a few Abrams... and eat at our place. Wish I coulda snapped a pic, considering my jeep was only two spaces away from one of 'em.
Penguania And Antarctica, Spanelsko
We appreciate your honesty. I'll be honest, a few in my government are worried, and upset that you might get us hurt in a conflict we have no part in. But if you think you can protect Sodor during the war, I'm willing to give you another chance.
We would appreciate that, Span. I've been told your ship will arrive at Brendam Docks later today, and we'll have all the preparations and security ready for when your ship arrives.
Russkov Soviet, Spanelsko
Welcome to the region, Pyles Tis Kolasis! I'm Percy, King of Percyton and the #6 green engine on the Island of Sodor. I hope you like it in the CoFN!
Sodor and the Mainland will not be further affected by this conflict. As you can see, both of our forces sent troops to assist in the cleanup and repair of the areas hit by the raids. I will also be pulling the 19th Guards Army and the garrison force at F.O.B. Pegasus out of the area until the conflict is over. I have managed to secure the English Channel, thus I will open negotiations with the opposing party to render the Channel and the Isles a neutral zone. If there is anything else we can do for you, say the word... and it will be brought up in talks.
