====================================================================== PE-RA-Diplo [Winston Churchill]: Tzu's Defenses are crumbling Date:Tue, 14 Oct 2003 11:48:19 +0000 After Tzu's losses to the armies of the NBE last turn, he has few soldiers left to defend his own territories. 70 of his units are trapped inside former NBE lands and cannot retreat. There are another 16 units in Capetown. This leaves but 160 armies to guard his other borders. I still need aid. Tzu I can defeat on my own. But I cannot stop him and -xXx-. Tzu's recklessness has opened the way for others to do the right thing and to earn a profit easily. Do not let this opportunity pass you by, or soon Tzu and -xXx- will have completed their conquest of my nation and regained their strength. It will be too late and they will turn their attention on you. Winston Churchill ====================================================================== PE-RA-Diplo [Tzu Doh Nam]: Funny Date:Wed, 15 Oct 2003 14:23:09 +0000 Winston's message is almost funny in its cocky and ironic request for help. He tries to paint a picture that I am trapped and almost defeated as if that will inspire others to attack me. The "trapped" units he speaks of are currently occupying his home world and his sacked capital. He calls them trapped because he has taken one region between them and the rest of my nation. It is true that I sustained more losses last turn than he did, but his army is and always has been much larger than mine. I expect heavier losses until any production and position advantage I can hold onto catches up and makes our armies similar in size. That is the way it works when you fight a larger opponent. His announcement of my troop deployments could be mirrored here, but I think we all know that Tzu and Winston have the bulk of their troops fighting each other. I'll just add that anyone who can take Bungalore will get 5 production and remove a major and fairly isolated large production center from the Winston Empire. More discussion can be made by private message for anyone who is interested.
