Our training was solid; our Bands were good to the core.

The scouts came in with Reports of Killing, raping and looting, and that this was continuing throughout the land of “La France”.

Word was quickly sent back to the “Blue” and the Council.

It was the French that need the most help, and fast. The rampaging Germans were decimating them. We had pledged our alliance to our friends many years before. We would be there to help them.

Dieppe; such a beautiful township on the bay of the great water.

“Blue” Holly took her Bands on their own journey into hell. The hills to the south would need to be taken to ensure the strategic ownership of Dieppe. Two Axe Bands were sent straight through the hills, like a hot blade through cold butter. The Horse Bands simultaneously charged the Township, with this leaving the third Axe Band in Reserve with the Field Bands.

The fighting was hard, very intense in places, yet the Horse and Axe vanquished the shocked Germans.

At the end of the Battle, “Blue” Holly found herself to be the Governor of a French Beachside resort town. At this time, the Axe and Field Bands gathered and assisted in garrisoning the town and getting the fields and mines operating again.

A Horse Band was set on a circular patrol, with the other two Horse Bands in Reserve, never too far apart. The scout bands were sent to secure the road into Dieppe for the Third column, which at this time was only a week away.

Back home, a full mobilization was under way. “Blue” had provided the council with evidence of French townships in Ruins, of people displaced and wandering the countryside, of Germanic units destroying roads and fields.

WAR was declared……………………..

Good addition, Paddy, but I think that you are starting to depart from your original style a bit. While in the previous installments, you told this as a story, I think towards the end of this one, it is starting to seem more like just a recall of what you did in the game, event by event. While there is really nothing wrong with that, I kind of liked the creativity of the previous chapters more.

Great stuff

Paddy · September 7, 2003, 23:40

Thanks for the feedback.

It helps in my learning, and enjoying this interesting craft.

Kaos XIII · September 8, 2003, 02:06

Hey now, I like your activeness.

I've no constructive criticism to give, just mere encouragement.

So keep posting and keep these guys happy!

P.S, It's "Le France."

Paddy · September 8, 2003, 02:13

Paddy · September 10, 2003, 03:31

Richelieu · September 18, 2003, 13:25

Very good read! I hope you continue!

NB: It is "La France" and not "Le France", as suggested in another post.

Paddy · September 23, 2003, 09:37

Thanks for that...

More to arrive soon...

vovan · September 29, 2003, 20:50

So, how 'bout those goods you promised, Paddy?

You've created a loyal audience with this here piece and it (the audience) wants goods.

Well... I do.

Listen to the man Paddy: he knows what he's talking about!

ChrisiusMaximus · September 30, 2003, 12:20

Im with those two Paddy, please come back and write some more of this lovely little story of yours

Paddy · September 30, 2003, 18:23

Thanks for your encouragement

Work has been crazy this past few weeks...

Should have more here in 24 hours...

Paddy · October 1, 2003, 01:38

The War drags on…

It is comfortable to sit here in “The Club” and watch another sunset, to enjoy my cold brew and a hot steak, to look out over the valley and enjoy the peace. Yet the comfort is short lived. We are not a people at peace; we are a people at War.

The Blue has mobilised our forces and we have engaged the dreaded Germans. Our papers are full of amazing statistics. 400,000 dead in the northeast. The city of Tours lay in ruins. Starvation throughout the western regions. The Northern French Army is in ruins.

Then there are the private reports coming in from the bands, the German Cavalry enjoy leaving the cities and countryside in ruins. They seem to have a policy of take no prisoners leave no rock unturned.

Ahh the Germanic evil grows even stronger… Who are these German peoples to destroy our trade with our friends, to raze their cities?

We have sent envoys; they have either been rejected and sent home or never heard from again. This makes for a very frustrating time for our people.

ChrisiusMaximus · October 1, 2003, 02:30

There is only one option wipe out those evil Germans before they come looking for the Valley, nice addittion though a little short. Hoping you can find tjhe time to update this more regulary.

vovan · October 1, 2003, 12:27

The dark side I sense in you....

Nice build-up there.

Can almost feel the frustration and growing anger towards the Germans... So, set your cold brew aside for a second, and go out to kick some ass!

Richelieu · October 14, 2003, 16:52

Come on Paddy!

vovan · October 15, 2003, 13:21

Indeed, it's been two weeks already. Don't forget that we are eagerky awaiting the next chapter here.

Update please.

Paddy · October 15, 2003, 16:24

Thanks for the encouragement....
I have almost finished the next section.

ChrisiusMaximus · October 15, 2003, 20:46

cant wait

Richelieu · October 16, 2003, 12:51

Richelieu · November 7, 2003, 09:02

You're not getting away with it that easily Paddy!
This had fallen to the second page.

vovan · November 7, 2003, 13:46

Your "almost finished" is much too similar to my "almost finished". You said that - what? - almost a month ago? And still there are no goods.

Here's hoping we'll see more from you soon.

Paddy · November 7, 2003, 16:53

thank you for your patience... how do I explain... I have written quite alot, it is just that I am far from happy with it.

Richelieu · November 7, 2003, 18:13

Well... As long as you know we'll be stalking your home and burning your crops until this is finished...

Paddy · November 7, 2003, 18:24

looks like I need to ring ol' uncle Steve about this here situation
