Crumbling Reich: A Weimar Republic Game (Signup Thread)

[KaiserDave]

Alright my internet is still horrible, but I think we can resume the excitement!

I will post an edition of THE REICH talking about the general strike within 24 hours.

[KaiserDave]

Another check in on people's thoughts

Obviously things have slowed down recently after the election, but no good game moves too fast.

Are there any concerns about the game I can address?

I know Willy is waiting for his restoration lol

[KaiserDave]

And as a further note, if Wilhelm II is ever included in the game, images of Christopher Plummer's brilliant performance WILL be utilized.

[KaiserDave]

This may be true

[KaiserDave]

So a lot has been going on behind the scenes and it seems the inevitable consequence is new elections.

I have messaged Dereich with a variety of things pending his approval, and his response to these new pronouncements. I have not yet received a response and hope we can all commune here.

[KaiserDave]

I've been away from the forum for the last two days and haven't responded to any PMs in that time. Sorry about that.

No problem at all

The von Papen VoNC will be put in the thread Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Around that time.

Intrigue to your hearts content until then.

A lot is about to go down so I’d appreciate if people could message me the numbers of forces they have mobilized, I will work to compile and verify them all so this can be done right.

[KaiserDave]

So it’s pretty clear things are about to get funky, here are some reminders and updates

1. Sending private orders to me or another player are in messages
2. Public actions, which I anticipate to occur soon should be posted. Remember, never declare the outcomes of your actions, only state what your actions are with beautiful details and so on
3. I will post the outcomes of people’s orders and actions once they are all in through a new post format. It’s somewhat of a turn system, looser. Results are determined off of post quality, numerical strength, organizational precision, some randomness, and a wide variety of in game factors

yes, I aplogise for being lax on the first point. I've been having a bout with insomnia for the last few weeks.

No problem

The January Coup, the March on Berlin, the Second Hitlerite Putsch will take place in game on January 5th 1933 right after Germany enjoys a eerily quiet New Year's and Christmas Holiday. Events will take place over the course of the next few RL days, with RL pauses if necessary for our sanity.

[KaiserDave]

If the government could send me any remaining orders and the NSDAP as well I will post the March on Berlin tonight.

Maybe when it concludes I’ll make a wikibox

Rome?

I'm marching on Berlin.

Though Mussolini is my Hitler's inspiration, he is not Mussolini.

Oof typo

[KaiserDave]

Alright this may take me a while, but I want it to be awesome. Here's my checklist for today.

-Overall descriptions of events from both sides
-Anecdotes from the ground

(and when it ends, today or some other day)

-Some conclusion statement of the coup's events
-Wikibox

[KaiserDave]

Part I of build up is posted. Part II will go into depth on the fighting.

[KaiserDave]

Hope ya'll like it. I have mostly worked from a combat map I drew up, but it is really a vague marker of events rather than a useful pinpoint for use.

I welcome questions in messages.

[KaiserDave]

RIP

RIP indeed.

I convinced KaiserDave to let Hitler die of his wounds, as I don't believe Hitler would have survived unless the putsch was successful. Another militia or the Reichswehr would have finished him off.

I'll put it in the thread (in game his fate is still unclear however), Hitler is going to die at the Nazi Berlin headquarters of his wounds. Heydrich, Strasser, Röhm, Goebbels, and Himmler are still messing however.

Well this took a turn into uncharted territory.

Indeed it has

Thank you @NYE for his dedicated gameplay as the most evil man, thwarted before his schemes could come to fruition.

If you desire to take another character you are welcome, thank you for playing.

Given the likely British and French (and possibly Soviet) reaction to the violation in the Treaty of Versailles in putting down Hitler's putsch, if I were to play as someone else, it would probably Ramsey MacDonald (currently the British Prime Minister) or Josef Stalin (no friend of the German right, and probably not a friend of Von Papen, even if he did put down Hitler.)

That's an interesting idea, but I will probably keep foreign characters in my hand.

[KaiserDave]

There's been a lot of legislative proposals, so for when the Reichstag resumes seating please list them here to avoid confusion for me

Thanks

[KaiserDave]

So with coup over now comes the crackdown. The government will decide what to do with the Nazis still left, and also they will decide when the Reichstag returns, and when they do they have much to vote on.
