Step 2 of the plan is almost complete. My island is almost one giant barricade and I cannot see Beam capturing even one core city in the same turn he invades:
the south as an example:
155.42KB
Further, my inland cities are mostly on "wealth" now to boost research possibilities. My army is simply too big to require any more units:
25.7KB
19.11KB
22.28KB
11.76KB
the coastal cities are all on nuclear Submarine construction, I have mobilized so it's going quite fast.
Techs:
48.7KB
Beam is in the IA and lacks flight and Sanitation there. He may have Amphibious war. As can be seen Space flight and thus Tactical Nukes are in 6 turns now. That coincides wuth:
11.27KB
Most cities will go for Nuke prebuilds soon, I expect to finish a dozen or so in 7 turns. Nuclear subs are ready to deliver them to beam, one or two turns later. Depending on the targets. Isn't that nice for a christmas spirit?
