Ummm...Hey wait a minute!  Why are the Americans third from the last!?!

We should be first in serving our British overlords!

British empire hated the ever loving crap out of the filthy rabble that had revolted against the United Kingdom and Queen, I expect nothing less than them to be driven to the very bottom of the society as a vengeance.

Not really true by 1899,  and anyway bottom of the heap was ALWAYS the Irish

The British are really taking the lead. They've got a bunch of expliotable planets and minerals that they can get to, and look at how big of a difference there is between the Martian and British research labs. While the Martians aren't out yet, if it keeps going this way, I think they'll have to pull something crazy off to keep the lead.

And this will be where their use of Chinese names will bite them in the ass....

(A.K.A. - never bet on the chinese in one of Steve's games....  ;D )

He probably has real life or something, this is by no means his largest break.

Steve said a little while back that his day job was taking up additional hours for the near future and that his Aurora time was pretty much nil.

Still alive :)

Last few weekends we have either had visitors or been away (and again next weekend), while I am working until 7pm or later weekdays at the moment, so just not had time for Aurora.

Yes, I know :)

I'm away for the next few days to play some Poker (busman's holiday) so I won't be doing anything this weekend either. I've been playing around with a single race campaigns over the last few days - 4 NPRs, 200% difficulty, random stars - so I might post something on that when I get back.

Please give me more of this campaign.  I love the way Steve writing

Just a question, why Chinese so love of Laser Weapon? Because in Real World, it is the US that discover that weapon first.

I've noticed that the trend seems to be that the Chinese themed powers always go for lasers (which never seems to work out that well for them). I guess it's Steve's way trying to showcase the different tech and tactics :) I thought this was a good campaign, but I miss the awesome Soviet battlecruisers from the NATO vs Soviet Union AAR.

Does this mean the 1899 campaign is over?
