July 12th 1922

After years of work a new World hockey league is about to come to fuitation. The WHL as it is to be called will incorporate teams from all over the world and a limited amount of games will be played internationally in regular season and a post season tournament.
It will revolve primarily around four leagues, a North American league, Western European league, Eastern European league and a Far East League. Teams in each sub league will play most of their games against teams in their league with the occational rival league games.
At the end of the season the top teams in each league will battle it out for a WHL championship tournament.

July 28th 1922

In keeping with its commitments to its south American summit agreement Atlantis has dispatched 3 rifle Brigades 2 tank platoons (20 tanks) and 4 armored car platoons to Venezuela where upon arrival will be sent to various points in southern Venezuela, Guyana and Suriname to help those country's patrol their borders and prevent the spread of further hostilities in the region. The Current Nordmark/Argentina conflict has increased tention in the region in addition to the suplementary treaty signed by Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia and Paraguay. As a result of this treaty and post treaty remarks by said country's Atlantis, France, Iberia and Russia cunducted their own treaty talks after the request of several nations in the region to stabilize the situation. No additional information could be obtained on which units where sent to the region and it is not known what units have been sent by France, Russia and Iberia.

August 5th 1922

The Atlantian navy has declaired that a new series of cruisers is about to be laid down to take advantage of the Cleito Treatys limits set on future cruiser designs.
In addition it has also announced that the old armored cruisers Cape Verde and Venezuela are currently being prepared for convertion to training ships and a new Escort cruiser will also be laid down.

August 28th 1922

The ANS Caracus was completed today and will begin trials in the next few days. The Caracus is the first of four new light cruisers based on the eridanus class with minor improvements to be launched. The Valencia, Ascanius and Maracaibo are expected to complete by the end of the year.

Does anybody know when we can hope for some closure on the whole South Atlantic war? It's been over five months of real-time, and a year and a half of sim-time, since anything was posted on the subject.

With all due respect to Peng, I'd kinda like to take that part of the world out of limbo.

As for the World Hockey League, you'll need to tell us where the teams are to be based, Wes. Otherwise, how can the Raj buy tickets?

With the south Atlantic war, i cannot see an extended war. A few short skimishes and a fairly quick win for Nordmark. The South American powers bowing out in the face of world opinion.

As for hockey, you do meen normal hockey and not ice hockey don't you?

Well, depends on what Peng had in mind. The PABB combined forces were not weak, and Nordmark was/is operating at the end of a long, long logistical train - probably vulnerable to raiding or submarines if PABB has any. Things could drag on for a while if PABB isn't incompetent.

I mean ice hockey, which from my (Canadian) perspective is normal hockey. I assume Wes does as well.

I'm not suggesting there's a team in India - but if the Raj were in, say, Stockholm, he might take in such a curious event.

... but the same goes for me (despite being Dutch and our nation having a reasonably good field hockey team). When someone mentions hockey to me, I think 'Ice Hockey' as well. Likewise when someone mentions Football, I think American Football, not soccer.

... Perhaps the Emperor should folow the Raj's example and purchase a couple of tickets and watch a game together with the Empress.

I think we are fairly limited to places where we can play ice hockey. I've no idea wether we can have a cooled stadium and pitch in 1922. Probably not. I don't think there will be a huge following in Italy.

Not sure about that one either, but I do know that it can be very cold in the Russian Federation at times so there would be enough opportunities to play games there.

Well you can be sure there will be no shortage of teams in the North American league and the european leagues. Hell if the Jamaicans can have a bobsled team why can't italy have an Ice hockey team? They do in real life anyway even if it isn't very skilled. As to the meaning of hockey....WHAT ELSE WOULD A CANADIAN MEAN?!!! Of corse its ice hockey! lol
As to what country's are in the league all you have to do is raise your hand and your in!, from a players point of veiw that is. Atlantis will have 2 teams, one in the North American League and one in the Western European league. North America will no doubt have several American and Canadian teams while the european leagues and the far east league will be quite a mix. I also could see Russia having at least two teams as well, one in the Eastern European league and one in the Far East league.

On hockey: What about the South African League? What about Australia?

On the South Atlantic War: Don´t forget the family ties to the Royals of the SAE. Nordmark would not have been unsupported.

However, if Peng does not return we´ll never know the details.... Until then I take it as if there was a small conflict. Nordmark showed up in full strength and with the support of its allies and friends (and Britain because they sold the island). Seeing this Argentina agreed to retreat after some minor combats. This might not fit Pengs ideas but it allows to go on without changing history.

To be honest, I'm more interested in what happens with peace - are the PABB powers somehow limited by treaty, for instance.

I'd like to know if Peng is returning - if he isn't, I think we need to agree on an official outcome to that whole storyline.
