KotR Out of character thread VI

[Kagemusha]

Kagemusha: Are you saying you want to abandon the siege of Thessalonica and leave it in Venetian hands?!

Yes.And i have Ituralde´s blessing for that.

[FactionHeir]

Ok
Guess you guys will get quite a few battles near Ragusa in that case then. I should also note that there is a large Hungarian army near Zagreb. If you got any specific orders for that let me know.

Looking at the election, unless someone pms econ to change their votes, please send me a PM if you want your own specific avatar to do something during the next term, like go on strike or something like that. Otherwise you'll be freely moved around. Also, if you got any specific story planned that needs you to be somewhere at a certain point, let me know.

I think I'll have to print all those queues and orders out tomorrow so I don't lose track

[TinCow]

Yeah, I found it very useful to print out the Build Queues, Household Army orders, and all the passed Edicts. It's a pain to have to pull up the Org to check something when you're in-game.

[Stuperman]

Gerhard, Lothar and the BHA can take care of the Hungarians if need be....

I'll post build ques, and orders, and offer the BHA's services to Austira IC when I get home, although I'm on dial up out there so it might be slow going.

edit: someone else might need to Knight lothar, as with more command stars than his father he'll automatically be in command, although that was the case for Conrad Sailler too.....

[OverKnight]

A possible solution is to have Lothar come in as a reinforcement. Detach him from the army before you move to attack, move main army into enemy ZOC, move Lothar into ZOC, and then have Gerhard attack. Gerhard commands, Lothar participates (retainers are cav so he can still get in the mix from the border) and everyone's happy.

[Stuperman]

that's a good Idea OK.

Also as I look over the save, does Fritz Von Kastilien(sp) have command of the BHA, and if so why?

not that it's a big deal, just something I noticed.

[TevashSzat]

Just to let you guys know, I haven't been that active recently and won't be more for another two weeks due to a hectic end of the school year. Expect me to be more active after June 15th

[gibsonsg91921]

who do i tell where i want my general character? cuz i want Ehrhart von Mahren in Ragusa to join the avatar party

[Stuperman]

faction Hier looks like the next chancellor so pm him.

[gibsonsg91921]

cool thx

[StoneCold]

Xdeathfire, I don't think your orders for the SHA is legal. The house army can only take one province by the house order. So unless the Chancellor wants to conquer France or there is a Diet edit, that order is illegal.

[gibsonsg91921]

yo dudes

i just realized that we say "kaiser" henry, "prinz" jobst, but we say "king" otto and stuff. king in german is "konig"

[FactionHeir]

gibson: True, but that's for everyone to choose themselves. I for one just use the English ones as typing the German titles compels me to type the entire story in German too.
Btw, here you got a present of 2 . to make it König :D

StoneCold: Hmm looks you are right. But then only Paris is really mentioned, so the SHA could roam French territory for targets of opportunity (and lay siege to stuff as long as it does not get captured, or intentionally captured?)


Change in plans: Please get all orders/builds in within 3 hours of this post. Meeting was cancelled

[StoneCold]

FH, think you really only need to capture Paris to fulfilled your part of the bargain, the house army are meant more as a defensive army from what I understand. This means that while it is roaming in France the entire western front is exposed and you need a secondary force to secure it. But maybe capturing Paris will force the french to try and recapture it.

btw, Ituralde, you Austrian house post is not making sense. Two capable commanders against our allies? :P

[Stuperman]

so, I take it that the Austrians have accepted Gerhards offer?

I'll update the BHA orders if I can get this confirmed.

Using arnold and lothar as re-enforcements/get them knighted...should be a good one.

[Ituralde]

It will be up to AussieGiant to confirm this to you.
He'll probably accept.

@StoneCold

Tanks mate.. probably a Freudian mistype there, hehe!

[OverKnight]

@TC, interesting story, very illuminating.

[FactionHeir]

I have just finished the first part of the 1220 chancellor report.
I have yet to find a good style, so I'm open to suggestions. Also, if there is anything else you would have liked to see let me know (i.e. the other spy pictures)

Right now I'm waiting for Xdeathfire to download the save and fight the battle. Then I'll likely end turn unless something crops up.

[Stuperman]

@FH

why does a non Bavarian have command of the BHA?

[Stig]

@FH

why does a non Bavarian have command of the BHA?

Because even my little brother is better than the best Bavarian general?

[Stuperman]

Because even my little brother is better than the best Bavarian general?

Otto?

[FactionHeir]

Because there is no Bavarian avatar save yourself in Europe who is allowed to lead an army and the only orders you gave for the BHA is to have it stationed in Milan.
Fritz is not leading the army per se. He only leads thee garrison of Florence at the moment where the BHA is resting.

[OverKnight]

Gerhard is fully capable of leading the BHA, in extremis command could be given to Lothar, father ill and such.

Stuperman, do you want to stay in Rome and get healed or do you want to lead the BHA?

I'm not sure why a Kastilien is in the same stack as the BHA, probably because he spawned in Rome.

[Stuperman]

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear on my orders, when I said Garrisoned in milan I had assumed that Gerhard would be comming along. There's an abby in Milan and figured it was a relitively central place for Gerhard to heal. BUT don't worry about it at all, any military expiditions won't be for a few years at least, the whole region has paved roads so catching up won't be a problem, and then only if Austria wants/needs it.

[TinCow]

Lothar will be extremely pleased with whoever can get him knighted fastest.

[StoneCold]

FH, are you trying to get Henry to be a dread Kaiser? That's a lot of spying action you are doing there. :P

[GeneralHankerchief]

I'm having a hard time seeing these young whippersnappers in 40 years when they're the elder statesmen of the Diet.

[FactionHeir]

TC, if you want I can sent you towards Zagreb as well so Jonas can pick you up with the rest of the crew.

StoneCold: Spying is essential, for infiltration at least. And of course for armies that are close to our borders so we know what we are up against. Not like I go around spying on rebel captains :p

Stuperman: Reason I thought you wanted to stay in Rome was because there is a cathedral there and you were there since a turn or two already, speeding up your recovery as opposed to going to Milan which would start it all over. Your choice where you want to be stationed though.

[edit]
Nice story econ :)

[StoneCold]

GH, same here. But I think TC is probably going to come out with a story about his first battle and kill, and with it turns sober, or at least more mature.... :P

[FactionHeir]

That is, if he survives. <insert evil grin here>
