[USEC_OFFICER]

TURN 4

Spoiler: International News (click to show/hide)

The second International World's Fair was held in Brunde's capital...

Spoiler: Witkovian News (click to show/hide)

[1] Robert Bogdanović's words fall on deaf ears in Kramsk. The people are mostly farmers and respond poorly to ROR's ideals.

[2] Attempts to overthrow the Rostovians in Janowo are thwarted by the police and guards in the province. The people storming the garrisons are met with rifle fire from fortified positions, and soon turn and flee.

[3] The Traders and Workers free Union, using funds from Lowkow's personal fortune, founds several factories and mines in the province of Wolbrom. +1 RtU in Wolbrom(13).

[8] In contrast with the ROR, the communists gain large support in Kramsk with their promises to enact sweeping land reform and break up the private farms of the churches and nobility. It does not take long before people begin to proudly wear their red caps. +1 Control in Kramsk(11).

[2] Lucius Gol doesn't find Recz much more friendly than Liuban. With the recent victories against the Rostovians, support for the Phantom Brigade is at an all time high. Attempts to subvert what little government remains is met with distrust and outright hostility.

[6] Henner Campfeld's revolutionary fervour quickly earns the Peacekeepers a lot of support in Jastkow. In one, masterfully executed stroke the Rostovians are forced from the province. -1 Control in Jastkow(24).

[1] Attempts to educate the people of Glogow are stymied by the flood Rostovian troops arriving into the city. Despite being bloodied and tired, they still manage to terrorize the city into submission.

Gregory Pop quickly crosses the border into Brunde, and from there makes his way to Adiyaman by coach and boat.

[3] [2] The Liga Demokratyczna Witkowii sends Stefan into Bystra and after a tense midnight chase from the police and their thugs, starts to establish resistance against the Rostovians. -1 Control in Bystra (14).

200 Peacekeepers march into Glogow(3) in an attempt to support Witkovian Liberation Front in the city. (200*1 vs. 2,300*1.33) Outnumbered ten to one, they quickly surrender.

ROR troops march into Drawno in an attempt to harass the Rostovians in the province. (498 * 1.33 vs. 3,400 * 1) Despite help from the locals, the Rostovian army easily routes the partisans.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Spoiler: Lód (click to show/hide)

Name: Lód
Colour: Light Blue
Stance: (-2,3)
Money: $5,800

Clair Glass - Fuming in Bystra.
Trait: Diplomat

Spoiler: New Monarchist Guard (click to show/hide)

Name: New Monarchist Guard (Blue Guards)
Colour: Dark Blue
Stance: (+2, -1)
Money: $3,500
History: The New Monarchist Guard is a split-off from the now-defunct Monarchist Guard, which supported a return to the old line of Witkovian rulers. The New Guard, however, have made the decision to support rival claimants from the Atessan imperial dynasty to the throne based on ancient royal marriages. They support a strong, conservative monarchy but reject outright autocracy, envisioning a king with an advisory body of wealthy landowning men, a reformed Weic, to ensure the interests of the upper classes are heard. The Guard appeals to tradition, reaching out to both the peasants and rural population, and aristocrats.

Konstantyn Wojewodzki-Araya - Can't catch a break in Janowo.
Trait: Oppressive
Description: The de facto leader of the Guard is Konstantyn Wojewodzki-Araya, the son of a prestigious Witkovian noble line living in exile in Atessa. His relentless drive for power has led him this far, and there are few in the movement who would cross him. Konstantyn's ruthlessness and explosive temper have not earned him many friends, but to him it is certainly better to be feared than loved.

Spoiler: Witkovian Free People's Party (click to show/hide)

Name: Witkovian Free People's Party (WFPP)
Colour: Red
Stance: (-3, 0)
Money: $5,125
History: The ideas of communism are still fairly new to Witkovia, but oppression breeds reactionary responses, and interest in the party's ideology has been growing steadily over the last 10 to 20 years. Once seen as a fringe element composed of questionable individuals is more and more being taken seriously as a group who are willing to help the lower class cast off their shackles from the Rostov masters.
Political Position: Staunchly on the left side of the political spectrum, Knavikov and the FPP look to create an equal Witkovia for all the people. Popular with the lower classes for their stances on land reform and worker's rights. Many middle and upper class citizens dismiss their ideology as nothing but 'populist daydreams'. The FPP see themselves as a vanguard that will help educate and free the masses of Witkovia through a revolution.

Rurik Knavikov - Furthering the communist cause in Kramsk.
Trait: Revolutionary
Description: Knavikov is an idealist and a fiery orator. Growing up to a poor-rural family, he worked diligently to afford to be schooled abroad in. Avallon. He returned home and began touring the countryside speaking on the importance of a government created collectively by the people.

History: The initial roots of the LDW was found approximately two years after the defeat of the coalition against the republic of Avallon. Several expatriates living within the nation during the revolution, and after it. Cobbling up whatever support they could scrounge up, the founding members of the LDW started to draft up several documents chartering the organization's goals and views, a full intent on a free Witkovia with an elected government.

Political Position: The Liga Demokratyczna Witkowii is a primarily moderate organization, though more urban and liberal leanings are displayed by the organization's members. Their primary goal is the establishment of a republic not unlike Avallon's current government.

Spoiler: The Phantom Brigade (click to show/hide)

Name: The Phantom Brigade (PB)
Colour: Pink
Stance: (0, +1)
Money: $1,350
History: The Phantom Brigade has been characterized by Rostavian authorities as a Criminal organization. Racketeering, Weapon smuggling, Prostitution, and High-class assassinations have been their public showings of fund raising.

The group was changed to a "Radical" organization when 1-year ago when they called for a new Witkovia.

Bio: The lord phantom is known to have many disguises, be very paranoid, and has asked for support from any government willing to give him support. Some say that he was a Rostavian Colonel who was discharged for "Suspicions of Loyalty". He has denied this and called it a propaganda attempt by the occupation to discredit him. He responded once "if it was me then what was the name of that colonel and his record of service or have they lost that to?".

Spoiler:  Robust Roberts' Organization of Rebels (click to show/hide)

Name:  Robust Roberts' Organization of Rebels (ROR)
Colour: #dbba39
Stance: (-2, +3)
Money: $2,800
History: ROR is the recent successor to the Witkovian Business League, which in turn was a group of various industrialists - mostly the sons and daughters of the old Witkovian nobility; who well realize that the reforms which were meant to save it from the Rostovians came too late and were not remotely widespread enough. Proto-technocrats in disguise, they've chosen one of their members to bear the name of the rebellion as his own, claiming to be socialists to further their goals.

Robert Bogdanović - Damning communism in Kramsk.

Money: $1,146

Henner Campfeld - Earning support in Jastkow.
Trait: Revolutionary

Another thing that I obviously didn't make clear: Units under 1/5th combat strength of their opponents are ignored for the purposes of casualties/occupation. Otherwise you could wear down entire armies to nothing by continually sending one badass man against them.

Anyways, let me know about any mistakes I might have made and I'll fix them soon. I had a bunch of work to do, hence why it took so long for the turn to come up. Sorry about that!

[LordSlowpoke]

Hum.

Buy all troops possible in Recz. Troops from Recz move to Gidle. Invest in Wolbrom.

[Digital Hellhound]

I am getting so much enjoyment out of my turns. Truly.

Figuring out not everybody died from the first attempt, attempt Overthrow in Janowo again. Keep doing so unless Konstantyn tires of it all and offs himself for being a failure in life. Those who do not charge the garrisons voluntarily will be made to do so with bayonets. Then, blood on the streets, bureaucrat hangings, etc.

If somehow magically successful, form the Royal Army with 1000, take Command and begin my reign of terror (ie, those lovely Oppressive bonuses).

[Rolepgeek]

What? What is this? Where were the Frontiersmen? Why does it say I only have 298 troops in the Province Stats? Why do I not have 2 Control over Rypin? Why does it still think Glogow has 3 Control?
Why does it think the Wiktkovian Liberation Front recruited troops in Recz?

It thinks everyone only recruited in Recz! What?

[USEC_OFFICER]

What? What is this? Where were the Frontiersmen? Why does it say I only have 298 troops in the Province Stats? Why do I not have 2 Control over Rypin? Why does it still think Glogow has 3 Control?
Why does it think the Wiktkovian Liberation Front recruited troops in Recz?

It thinks everyone only recruited in Recz! What?

Whoops. Yeah, Glogow is supposed to have only 1 Control, and for some reason I put WLF's troops and the Peacekeepers in Recz. That has been fixed, they should now be in Rypin.

Oh, and you don't have 2 Control in Rypin because you didn't have 1000 soldiers start their turn in the province.

I'm have no idea what you mean by Frontiersmen though.

[Rolepgeek]

Wiktkovian Liberation Front. Frontiersmen. Where was my support from them?!?

Edit: also, since I said they were going there under Leopoldo's Command, if he wasn't commanding, would they reall have gone there? Hmmm?

[swordsmith04]

Typo in my organization status. You have me written down as only having $150, when it should be $1500.

Recruit up to 750 partisans in Rypin.
All available WLF troops in Rypin attack the city of Glogow (3).
Leopold Kaminsky meets them at the edge of the city and Commands them in the assault.

Sorry about that, rolepgeek. I called off my attack when the GM said only troops recruited in previous turns had movement, but it was a bit vague.

[Taricus]

Stefan continues to persuade in Bystra (14). If successful, and if someone else also sucessfully persuades in the province, raise 1200 troops in the province.

((Right, guys, I have a plan. I need someone else to persuade in Bystra so I can take control of the province))

[Rolepgeek]

...I think I wanna wait to do my turn until I see how the Rostovian's lumbering engine of war will respond.

[Ghazkull]

3000 Soldiers from Pila(1) to Drawno(7)
6.000 Soldiers from Pryzycze(16) to Drawno (7)
4.000 New Recruits into Liuban
4.000 Soldiers move from Liuban(5) to Pryzycze(16)
1.000 Soldiers from Debno(33) to (23)

[Urist Mc Dwarf]

Get recruits from wherever possible. Overthrow where requested.

[Rolepgeek]

1000 Troops move to Plazow(25)
Persuade in Jastkow(24)

[TopHat]

2,000 troops move to WOLBROM (13)
Heinral Lowkow will INVEST in WOLBROM (13)
