I don't want to ruin the game for everyone who's playing. But this thing should end at some point right? RIGHT?

It should end when most of us tire of it. Also, what's up with 1849?

Ottomans 1849 (Military) A force of 1 ironclad, 1 submarine, 9 cruisers, 2 Saladins, and 2 newly-built recon balloons that are light enough to land on a ship's deck, are deployed against the Portuguese in the Congo. Thanks to air superiority (recon and bombers), tech superiority (Fully ironclad fleet, submarine), and numerical superiority (11 vs 10), we need a 5 to push them from the shores of the Congo, 8 to push their navy from West Africa, and 10 to blockade Angola.

Rolling for damage axUYxpr3Little damage, but the royal palace is in flames! Portugal signs away its colonies in West Africa, as well as East Timor. Now we've fought over the Congo area (in 2 parts) and Lisbon. 1 more attack to make! Operation WilliamMay 7th: Overnight, 8 Saladins based in New Constantinople bombard DC. 4 go for Capitol Hill and Pennsylvania Avenue, while 4 bombard nearby military bases. s2Q3iLFnThe Capitol is set in flames, but the White House is intact. We get a +1 dice roll bonus for military damage. May 8th: The Tripoli Manifesto is revealed, it is a joint Anglo-Ottoman Operation plan to invade DC. Meanwhile, a massive joint fleet appears in American Water. 200,000 Brits land in New York, and 200,000 Turks in DC. Each need a 6, thanks to being behind the lines (British) and bombardment (Turks). Ottoman Army: Royal Army: Both cities are taken. The US Government, already weakened by the resignation of Napoleon Bonaparte, surrenders. Brittania takes back New England, and the rest of America is provisionally governed by Ottoman-appointed, CSA-friendly High Commissioner Stephen Douglas, pending reunification with the CSA ( Quintus Fabius may accept control of the North anytime after May 20th). Baltimore is rendered an Ottoman Treaty Port (Hong Kong-type treaty port, not Veracruz) permanently. ·····

The CSA, the Gatling Company, and the Coca-Cola company greatly thanks Sultan Jean-Luc Picard of the Ottoman Empire and Queen Victoria of the UK. We offer 50 prototype Gatling guns Mk. II (slightly higher fire rate), and a couple of crates of Coca-Cola syrup in gratitude. The reincorporation of rightful CSA lands shall be reviewed later (tomorrow).
