"Of course I understand. This is not my first brush with combat, you must understand. I was forged in such battle, and even now, I maintain control over what I do. This is an uneasy alliance, and I shall be the first to admit I do not trust every act you will do. But I will take any naval movement I can get.

Lara returns Juniper's deadly stare, as if to say "Well, what did you expect when you sauntered up to my borders?"

"Obviously the same thing you expected when you went to expand your own empire. How many allies do you have here, Dolre? Or should I ask how many you believe yourself to have, as it's only a matter of time before someone turns on you. Enjoy your 'power' while it lasts."

I am considering sending in my ship from Ladyrnopol to take over Freedale Hook since it is closer to my parts. I shall set my naval unit towards it soon.

(This post was last modified: 08-20-2022, 04:47:48 AM by Florien.)
With Dolre as interim president (not yet officially president) [This report is an insult to my intelligence and information checking skills.] several rumors were made by opponents of the new government to circulate fear. That of a biological weapon attack in Arzutzk. That of a bombing campaign conducted by one of the world powers, whether that be the USA or another. Most worryingly, there was talk of Kalmar stepping in to fund one side or another on the condition that oil exports would stop, so that (Kalmar) would no longer have competition. [Please, Kalmar? Get involved? Kalmar? Fjords Kalmar? Population around twenty million total despite having a huge land area Kalmar? Glorified Puppet State of the United Kingdoms Kalmar? What incompetent idiot with no knowledge of any current events would believe that?]
These rumors obviously (came to nothing), [no shit] but at this time, the civil war was in great flux and could be swayed in any direction at any given (minuet.) [A Typo. I'm done for today, I can't take this.]
[Obligatory Newspaper. My Wrist Hurts, you'd think the agency would splurge and get me an annotator or at least a highlighter pen, but nope, manual notes, manual bracketing. If you're reading this in the future, please do not trust the government of (XXXXXXXXXXXXXX) [don't be like this particular analyst] to provide accurate reports, or don't trust the leaker. Either way, this information is a disaster.]
Get in those moves, preferably sooner rather than later. Next Negotiation Phase will be... let's say after the first day phase of whatever game starts next, not that negotiation phases normally take that long or that much focus.

The New Macedonian Empire's Modern Calvary Unit in the Innlands Excavation* charges forth towards The Gardens, with the help of the Organization for Special Interests of Obychinzk's Tank Brigade in Luzhi Forest! (Support -2), easily overwhelming the PMC of the Juniper Banks Obychinzk Company posted there.
The New Macedonian Empire's Modern Calvary in Grychak Industrial moves to Innlands Excavation* (Support -1)
The New Macedonian Empire's Modern Calvary in the Inner Farmlands moves to Grychak Industrial. (Support -1)
The NMES Nemesis moves to the Riverside Farmlands from the River. (Support -1)
The Organization for Special Interests of Obychinzk's Tank Brigade in the Tank Depot attacks the Steelworks* (Support -1) but is repelled by the Juniper Banks Obychinzk Company's PMC unit stationed there. Standoff: Neither Unit Moves.
The ONV Tangiers moves to the Western Southlander Sea from Ladrynopol. (Support -1)
The SS Zemmuray holds.
The Mechanicus Imperium moves a Mechanized Infantry unit from the Arzutzk Exurbs to the Rail to the Coast* (Support -1)
The Mechanicus Imperium moves a Mechanized Infantry unit from Outer Arzutzk to Autarkia. (Support -1)
The ONV Nyerere moves to the Capital Waters from the Strait of Arzutzk (Support -1)
Dolre Military Industries moves a Combined Arms unit from Arzutzk Military Base* to the Presidential Palace (Support -1) and makes INTERNATIONAL NEWS!
The SS Carlisle moves to the Coastal Quarry from the Arzutzk Test Range and begins an aggressive shelling campaign! (Support -1)
Dolre Military Industries moves a Combined Arms unit from The Prison Mines to the Arzutzk Test Range. (Support -1)
Dolre Military Industries's Combined Arms units in the Governmental District* and Northport hold.

The SS Liberty moves to the River from West Grychak Lake. (Support -1)
The Legion for the Light of Liberty's Liberation Teams in the Oasis* and The Peninsula hold.
The Alatanian-Backed Separatists Hold.
The Juniper Banks Obychinzk Company's PMC unit in The Gardens cannot retreat and is slaughtered!
Consolidation:
The Gardens are now held by the New Macedonian Empire!
Luzhi Forest is now held by The Organization for Special Interests of Obychinzk!
The Juniper Banks Obychinzk Company has lost all its home regions, and cannot gain new territory!
The Rail to the Coast* is now held by The Mechanicus Imperium!
The Coastal Quarry and Arzutzk Government District* are now held by Dolre Military Industries!
Delta City* is now held by the Legion for the Light of Liberty!
The Fall of a Nation:
The Juniper Banks Obychinzk Company no longer has appreciable military presence in Obychinzk. Heavy casualties have depleted the army's units, the headquarters has been bombed and shelled into oblivion, and the few surviving PMC units are now deserting due to unpaid wages while its home regions are occupied by Dolre Military Industries, The Organization for Special Interests of Obychinzk, and the New Macedonian Empire.
All remaining units of the JBOC disband. All involved leaders have been DM'd for a private discussion of what will happen.
The New Macedonian Empire can construct one new unit.
The Organization for Special Interests of Obychinzk can construct one new unit.
The Mechanicus Imperium can construct one new unit.
Dolre Military Industries can construct two new units.
The Legion for the Light of Liberty can construct one new unit.
DM me with your choices of what unit(s) and where in your home regions to build them, if you want to build them at all.

JUNIPER BANKS HAS BEEN SPARED BY ALL PARTIES INVOLVED IN HER DEFEAT, ON THE CONDITION OF EXILE:
She flees the country. Her few surviving forces do too. One contender for the ruler of Obychinzk has been eliminated from play.
The Spheres of Control at this juncture had been clearly established. These were the general estimated territories of each of the armies at the time (Grey, formerly a faction of its own, now represents territory that was not yet meaningfully under the control of anyone.)
The most efficient faction is Dolre Military Industries, which is using every supply center in its sphere of direct influence, and has a well-established setup.
The least controlling faction are the Alatanian-Backed Separatists, who only have a firm hold of eight territories.
The largest-by-area faction is the Legion for the Light of Liberty, who have the most regions easily accessible.
The strangest shaped faction are the Organization for Special Interests of Obychinzk, who would look less weird if they had more control over the Forester Majority areas which are not clearly controlled by anyone.
The most Country Shaped faction is The Mechanicus Imperium, who are a nice red blob with some decent inland reach, as well as an industrialized area and an under-industrialized area.
The most compact faction is The New Macedonian Empire, with the smallest controlled region in pixels, but with substantial efficiency within that territory.
The NMES Ares sets sail from Grychak!
A new Tank Brigade is recruited in Chylenbol!
A new Mechanized Infantry unit is assembled in Inner Autarkia!
New Combined Arms units are deployed in the Northern Prisons and the Prison Mines!
A Liberation Team arrives in Port Midland!
Negotiation phase ends when day 2 of MITM begins.

Juniper was really out of her league. I chose to spare her in part in how I pity her. Let her live with the knowledge of how insignificant she is. She can just rot away wherever she went off to.

And then Mali-Akania (invaded) [because of an insulting picture of a pancake sent to the president.] through the Mynedd Deserts in the east and easily toppled Alatania. (Nuclear bombs hit Arzutzk.) [fired by aliens] Kalmar invaded the UK and took England back as part of the (thousand-year scheme) [wow all the racist conspiracy theories were right, guess I should start being racist to the scandinavians now, or nice seeing as apparently they can keep a scheme to reconquer England secret for a thousand years.] leaving the government in Paris vulnerable to the invasion from the newly reformed Lothringia, which had reformed when Luxembourg suddenly reconquered all its neighbors two weeks earlier. The government of the UK were all killed in the nuking of Paris shortly thereafter. Then the (economy collapsed) [it was later fixed with Austrian School Economics], and everyone's limbs fell off because of scurvy.
[You're not even reading the report, much less my annotations, are you? You probably didn't even notice that I replaced the normal document with my own work and annotated the dumbest and most over-the top possible scenario I could come up with. I hate this job. Obligatory real documents below.]
Combat phase begins now! Next negotiation phase happens... I don't know, whenever the next night phase for a game comes around. Get those moves in.

Well, well. Quite unexpected. Something seems to have happened to Mr. Markham. I do welcome any alternate alliances and proposals that might be warranted. I will make sure my several couriers are at the ready for any letters to be exchanged. I do so appreciate a good old-fashioned handwritten note and wax seal.

No annotation today. Consider this my letter of resignation. I can't be bothered to show interest in this completely incoherent report, or give you actionable recommendations based on it. It's a disaster on every level. I'll give you the papers for the rest of the report, but I'm done commenting. You can get some fresh-faced young recruit analyst to look through this mess. I no longer care.
Combat Phase begins. It ends... whenever everyone gets their moves in and I've processed them and written the stuff, it's not like this game exactly holds up anything. Oh, yeah, get those moves in.
