If public opinion is disregarded, Iran is getting bombed.

The modern world has too many restrictions. International laws, laws of war, treaties between a lot of countries that prevent them from either joining conflicts, or realistically fighting one another (like with NATO). A lot of the fun in these roleplays comes from going to war with other players. It'd be really hard to do that in a modern world (at least realistically).

The only way I see it working is if it's done with an alternate history where all these restricting treaties and laws don't exist, or do but not to the extent of RL.

Good point. Also, Maxwell seems to be doing a fine job as the Ottomans.

I'd also like to point out to the Chairman that I have earlier pointed out WiR: Ice and Fire for an ASoIaF game Don't steal me idea

Are you surrendering? Sounds good to me. ;)

It depends on how far the blockade extends. The Union's blockade of the South, if it happened in this RP, might be bigger.

Pretty sure your side by far received the worst of this. We are two weeks march from Vienna.

I love how the Greeks turned on the Coalition, only to launch a futile landing onto Italy. It will really suck if the Allies end up losing even after they switched sides.

And yet from the British I would state these words,

"I have not yet begun to fight!"

I like how my officers don't understand how to proper use trains, but they manage to stem off two invasions of Italy along with push into Austria. Italian officers are best officers.

You did good...with all your damn numbers. I'm curious to know how you knew we were going to invade though. Either way, it was just a preliminary shove. Wasn't expecting much. Why I only sent that many troops.

Their effectiveness in battle comes in no small part due to their extensive use of sign language, which the allies have not yet decoded.

I've had that army positioned down there since the start of the war in anticipation of such an assault, then once Greece shifted sides it was fairly obvious that they might attempt the same thing since we're only a narrow passage apart.

Indeed. We have found a way to work spaghetti into our sign language as to further confuse the 'allies'.

So far, the Italians are undefeated. Kudos.

"What are they saying? What is that 'stuff-something-in-the-mouth' gesture?"

"Sir.. I - I think they're telling us to eat shit."
