[b]Spain dont think you building ships in England is missed for a second. Better spend you money somewhere where it can be used.
I didn't expect them to be missed "for a second". Their purpose is purely for the diversion of a significant part of the Northern Navy to the Celtic Sea to contain my fleet. It opens up some more possibilities.[/b]
Can you let BBill know there is incoming this turn.

France is getting verrrrrrrrry small. Spain is looking like a nice vacation spot for Nordics in the near future.

Originally posted by dylA gallant holding action inflicts heavy losses while armies are mustered in reserve. Another major French city and 3 provinces fall to the Alliance. The fleets of most of our enemies flee deeper into the Med while the newly built French squadron from Gascony meets its end in the Channel. Spain and Italy are both threatened with invasion and the advantage of the Alliance in production grows. The war is decided, only the timing of your ultimate defeat remains in question.

There wasn't much gallantry in your 'gallant holding action'. Half your troops disappeared into the basement (which we promptly set fire to), and your high command was found issuing orders from under a table in the servants quarters (we set fire to that too). The Neapolitans lost five grenadiers in the battle, of which four were unfortunate victims of food poisoning.
There's still some good fighting to be had.

Originally posted by dylI knew you'd simply retreat and sooner or later you have to come to me. While you dithered, the French fleet was destroyed. The mighty Alliance fleet dominates the main area of decision while your fleets do nothing. The defeats your motley collection has suffered so far are nothing compared to what is coming on land and sea.
