1914 HY1 Expansion results.

[Kaiser Kirk]

This is the expansion results.
Sorry it's not in a prettier format.

Conflicts :
Aztec + Japan vs. Maya @ San Diego : Amphibious assault with overwhelming force.
This was diced out last week using my rough sketch of a quick land combat system trying to unify our system with classic wargaming odds and concepts.
Ultimately, the Mayas lost two old small cruisers, and a land + deployment point.  The attackers lost 1.25 land units and .25 deployment units.
They have already started telling that tale - enjoy !

Japan/Decca @ Palau : Deccans find Japanese present, retreat. Cancels Marianas leg of expedition.
Byzantine / Deccan @ Sorong, West Papau New Guinea : Deccans arrive first, are 1/3 unloaded when Byzantines arrive.  Byzantine choice of action.
Wilno/Maya @ St. Augustine : Simultaneous land invasions. Meeting engagements. NPCs will defend when first present, but not initiate, Mayans scowl and retreat. Wilno sends cheery note.

Player Nations

Aztec
   Land
   Angola – Expands out from current holdings
   Baja – Expand North 1.
   Mexico Baja Coast – Expand North 1 along border, 2 provinces. *
   Hidalgo – Expand 1 North into Texas Panhandle. **

        *Not sure I interpreted this correctly, but as it's somewhere no one else can get to, we can correct it later.

   **Note : Along the Rio Grande, expansion is now 4 provinces deep, making a full region.
   Further expansion "away" from the Homeland will not be possible until that region has at least 1 IC.


   Amphibious :
   Joint Aztec-Japan invasion of Mayan San Diego.
   Please see Story thread for outcome.

Thanks once again for doing this, Kirk.

I will increase references to alcohol in my future news items.

Some interesting moves. Looks like I have some talking to do.

I will not do everything, I limit myself to 3 conquests per HY and then, I await an answer ... On this answer will depend my choices.
The 5th Battle Division accompanied by cruisers and destroyers, based in Port Darwin, is in charge of the conquests.

[Kaiser Kirk]

Ok,
would you like me to revise the map to show just
1) Somalia - > North
2) Mozambique, Maputo - > North
3) Mozambique, Maputo - > Northwest
As mapped ?

For Deccan, it's complicated and I arrive too late, I give up.

[Kaiser Kirk]

Jeftge has pointed out a mistake I made.

He did complete his Port Darwin IC.

Therefore the Byzantine task force departed from there, and reached West Papua New Guinea first.

The Deccans retire when they arrive.

Battleship Mehmed II from the 5th Battle Division, 9th and 10th Divisions of cruisers, along with transports, are engaged in the operation.

Thank you for your work, your time and your patience. 

;)   ;)   ;)

[Desertfox]

Back in town, I see my gamble didn't work out. Australia is getting crowded fast, and I belive the only open ports left are in Alaska and Midway?

Is there a conflict in Mozambique between Rajasthan and Byzantium?

[Kaiser Kirk]

Is there a conflict in Mozambique between Rajasthan and Byzantium?

Nope, all land expansion is simulataneous, and have meeting engagements.
NPCs will defend when they arrive first but will not contest in meeting engagements or when the PC has arrived first.

[Desertfox]

That means... all the conflicts have been sorted out already!

[The Rock Doctor]

Brilliant.  Well done, people.
