We're fascists; these pompous men, if you can even call them that, would do our Normaundian brethren no good in securing a victory for the homeland.

(Also, this is really fun so far. What's going to happen once the war ends?)

Duration of the Civil War: 150 days
Casualties of the Civil War: 292.000

=== Other News ===
The Communists' grand crusade continues, this time, they attack Ouest-au-Vent and engage in the second largest battle of the civil war. 80.000 Communist Average Regulars fight against 60.000 Republicans. After a deadly battle street to street, 16.000 communists die and 24.000 Republicans perish as well.

70.000 Socialists soldiers are on their way south, the cadre of officers is sure that they're headed for Fidurat. Meanwhile, it seems that they've, somewhat succesfully, established their own brand of a 'syndicalist republic' in Forche.

The Republicans struggle to keep control of ungarrisoned cities, and apart from the troop movement to attack Laurvequiere and defend Ouest-au-Vent, do nothing in these 15 days. Though the report of the 10.000 heros of Laurvequiere is sending waves of morale to the troops everywhere.

The Folkists recruit another 10.000 men for their fledgling army. Their incapacitated economy allows them to do little else.

>What's going to happen once the war ends?
It depends. I've been thinking of various options: another short quest in an entirely different setting with the same, albeit modified system; an interlude dealing with a very specific issue in post-war Normaundia; and simply going full sequel and have various timeskips as we set up the Fascist State of Normaundia proper and start dealing with the outside world (which will also imply a system modification, as this one isn't quite thought up for such large scale politics).

The first two would be in a much smaller scale than the hundreds of thousands here, probably going into an individual or squad level scale as to promote more player interaction and more fluffed out characters which the players will hopefully enjoy more. The last one would mean accepting the QM curse fully into my life, who knows what will come of that.

Last update for tonight as well. Will hopefully continue tomorrow night (in GMT+1)

Are we suppose to decide to met or ignore the Folkists, or will that be a automatic event?

Are we gonna choose which one to pacify or can we do both?

Do this then?

>>3071257

OP could you give a figure on our total troopstrenght, and perhaps - if possible - indicate this on the map?

nobody is adressing the fact that we got 40k republicans marching towards us.

I say commence ASSAULT on the other besieged city (with riots) as -4 luck due to disgruntled population and artillery shelling should make a victory easy.

THEN amass everything we have on our leftern flank to face the invading republicans - or scare them off.

the troops amassed can then annex the south-western stretches of land.

///////////////////
to the Hzier cultists on our imminent meeting:

we expect them to take the city just outside their territory. we are fighing hard against the tyranny of the republic and they must do their part by depriving the Republic territory and income.

to the foreign backers:

lets continue negotiations with the monarchists.

Hey. In this turn you only take the decisions on which domestic and military Issues you'll go for.

Ongoing Issues, Events, and the chosen Issues for the turn are dealt with after that.

I won't be able to update today, hopefully tomorrow will be a better day.

>>3071679
Some other things: I do agree that I should indicate stuff in the map, maybe through NATO counters.

If you give me some good medals as an example, we could. Otherwise I could make some up on the fly.

===Pacify Cities.===
The Fascist government in the House of Administrators of Nour has decided that it is high time to bring the people of Laurvequiere and Renais into the fold. Various plans have been proposed for its handling. Both cities have an old Republican tradition and were some of the first to join Diamaund in the rise against absolutism two centuries ago, they fear its return now.

>Impose martial law and begin a strict propaganda campaign. Cities will be pacified in 15 days, riots may happen.
>Bring in officials and Greyshirts to spread the word of Fascism as an ideology to the people. Make them understand that we are no monarchists. Cities will be pacified in 30 days.

===Prepare for another wave of recruitment===
We must ride the wave of expansion that we have created. The enemy is more and more crippled by our rise to power, and by the other factions' rise to power as well. The military cadre has put forth a plan for further recruitment.

>Recruit 2 Average Regulars to use in continued expansion. -10 Treasury (Including soldier + officer training)
>Raise 3 Recruit Militias for use as garrison in our next expansion. -8 Treasury (Including soldier + officer training)

===Siege of Arlodt (1TR and 3AR VS 2AR) (Fortification level this turn: 0) (Moderate Riots: -4 to defender's luck roll)===
Anton Kolfen is leading the siege, worried by the thought of the approaching Republicans in Laurvequiere. The battle of Arlodt should be an easy win, though Kolfen understands that this does not mean that he can rest on his laurels. There is also the possibility of letting part of the divisions abandon the siege and make them head for Laurvequiere to support them.
>Commence the attack, we will wipe these republicans.
>Send Laurvequiere 1TR and 1AR to ensure victory, continue the siege.
>Let go of this attack, we must all move to Laurvequiere's defence.

===Seeking of foreign allies.===
(Since some people forgot to vote for our continuing of negotiations with the Holmerdi, I'll bring it up here. Votes which were made before will be accounted in this decision.).
The council and Consul Alaster debate whether or not to continue negotiations with the Holmerdi fools, now that their moods have calmed.
>The Holmerdi savages can only think of their 'higher status'. Abandon them and seek other allies.
>Maybe they can still be made to see reason. Negotiate again with them in the next weeks.

===Preparing in Laurvequiere===
Laurvequiere will soon be under attack by Republican forces, 40.000 of them. We have 30.000 Trained Regulars and 10.000 Average Regulars there stationed, shall we request troops from elsewhere?
>Bring in 3AR from Nour.
>We're fine as is.


=Gameplay notes.=
I goofed on the training of the Average Militias, they're supposed to cost 3 Treasury instead of 2, which makes them not worth it since their Combat Score is 2. I won't raise their cost since they're already being recruited. I'll see how I fix the actual mechanics.

===Folkist diplomatic envoys===
The Folkists envoys were invited to enter the House of Administrators of Nour, where Consul Alaster awaited them patiently. They congratulated us on how well the war was going and wished us continued luck during it. After the good wishes, they sat and discussed the poor situation of their economy. They said that certain organizations seeking to 'ensure Folkist interests' have raised funds for them, but Marto Trolc, wishing to ensure continued friendship with the Patriotic Front, decided to consult with Alaster first.

Rushing this will totally fuck us, especially with them so close to the front.

>===Prepare for another wave of recruitment===
>Recruit 2 Average Regulars to use in continued expansion. -10 Treasury (Including soldier + officer training)
We've got our militia reserve already; we can replace the losses we took now to our striking force.

>===Siege of Arlodt===
>Commence the attack, we will wipe these republicans.
-4's a good enough penalty to the enemy imo, finishing this off'll let us keep moving west quicker.

We've only lost one phase to bickering. Long term investment, people!

We have to bring the boys to the front at some point after all. Also, we'll be able to free up our capital because...

>===Folkist diplomatic envoys===
>Tell them to accept their investment and promise them Fascist investment in Hzier soon.
The better we bind ourselves to the Folkists early on the better things will be long term; we hardly need to brew resentful rivals like the Communists managed to do with the Socialists. If we piss off the Folkists we're seriously fucked. I'd rather have us promise our own investment, though, because if we're the ones fixing their problems rather than them dealing with on their own, then they'll become more dependent on us which is a better relation to have.

Concerning the return of Lorke to us, we should have Folkists living there pay a monthly permit to live there and upon stabilizing the Folkists, and the return of Lorke to us, they would receive all the money paid from the monthly permits to be given back to the Folkists when they return home and give us back the city.

we need them to take lorke to keep a military contact point. It also greatly improves their income relatively.

the investment makes me think maybe some financial cabal group gains influence over the Hzier Folkists which may turn them against us in the future.

No foreign investment for them.
