Today is the last day, I think. Iw anted to play now but the GOTM server and CFC forums server seems to be down.
Maybe later.

start hurrying through it now.

1864 AD - 186 turns left

start playing and setting everything on governor

1865 - Declare on Germany.

1866 - Raze Cologne.
1867- Raze Stuttgart
1868 - huayna capac declares war on us.
1869 - Capture Frankfurt, raze München and kill all landed units from HC.

1872 - HC takes (and razes) Frankfurt with all the units in it. He had open borders with Bismarck.

I lost interest in playing this atm so I stop here.
We'd have to rebuild our attack forces which would probably take to long to stop someone from going to space.

I'm just reading this now (and considering the number of replies after my turnset, I'm not the only one...), sorry that I didn't play. Anyway, if HC killed our invasion force it's only fair to assume that we genuinely lost. Great that you still managed to play some turns though!

If no one posts otherwise, I send a message to Alan stating that we retire.

sounds ok to me.
