Game two

You could well be right, anyone who wants a piece of the Dutch better join in now!

Cue the Spanish Inquisition.....

We shall see what happens. I would imagine that the Dutch should start to locate some white fabric of some sort.

The Dons are about to show up?

Way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if Monaco declared war against the Dutch!

Some for justice... Some for a piece of the pie.

Justice is a poor choice of words... How about Honour!

News just in....

Dutch troops seen pracisting with new rifles, they can drop these on the floor at a moments notice and raise both arms in the air at least 3 times a minute!

Also troops seen waving new flag about in barracks, design looks simple white on a white background...

more later......

Did they get this new flag and manual of arms from the French!

well not from the Spanish thats a fact

I am sure it is not the Spanish... I believe they are ready to go toe to toe! I believe it could be go time for both of us?

I wonder ifthe Stadtholder might back down rather than risk such a global war

he would lose too much honour, however he may compromise. I do not think his rhetoric is too popular amongst the other deputies, so he may get replaced?

Hmm, I suspect you're right. Well, he's insulted me and I have no problems with him suffering as a result...it will be interesting to see western warships and war junks fighting each other...it will be too complicated for land battles between us...

Gonna be fun to watch him deal with the eastern and western threats at the same time.

I wonder if Prussia will step in and assist him?

I doubt it, Prussia likes its trade with India and the Eternal Empire too much...plus his outpost at Bencoolen would be vunerable to a visit from my fleets

I suspect he will try and sit it out rather than get involved on either side.

rather I suspect he will try and act as a mediator to settle the mess the Dutch hae made.

The Kaiser is a dear friend and became involved when the Dutch were involved in Flanders.

Sure was hoping to get my turn for Game II today. Guess Monday will be the day!

guess tuesday at the earliest probably thursday

Richard off on Monday! Haven't spoken to him through email in about a week.

I am the Game 2 Stadtholder! It seems that people have blown the original cause out of all perportion and are now exploting it for their own agenda (I may have already stated this in the newspaper!). Am I wrong!

err the dutch (if you have been playing this for a while) have annoyed a few people (Europe, Far East, India) to name some It seems your diplomatic style is causing offence to some nations......

Say it isn't so... Game II is certainly and insteresting place on the diplomatic field.
