WAR WITH MAYA'S
Byzantines and Romans dragged into conflict
As Bright Iroquois Scientists finished their final work on Motorised Transportation the Foreign Ministry and The Ministry of Peace made a bold decision to end Mayan existence! Attacks were launched all over the world to bring horror and sorrow to already surpressed Mayan homes. "We feel no mercy" an Iroquois General was quoted; "whatever the mayan people will meet in the afterlife, will be a significant improvement over Banzai's torturing rule."
As a responce to our rightfull crusade the Mayans last desperate act of diplomacy was to ally the evil Byzantines to their cause. It undoubtly cost them a tech or two to undertake this very much expected move. Iroquois borderguards can't wait to show Theodora the mistake she made.
As for diplomatic actions by our own glorious empire; the Romans begged for some action too. We granted their request and threw in the knowledge of Tanks so that Ceasar has more to do in this game as well.
The war. Banzai lucked out in several occasions as Marines had some very bad RNG's.
However, we also did some damage.

The city of Eastern Harbor with 5 units defending was Bombed to pieces and taken by Marines. The Northern town of Quiriga (size 10) suffered the same fate as did the former Mongol town of Choybalsan. Warweariness for Banzai. Bombers also took some risky sorties over his core resulting in some hits and even a factory being destroyed. Banzai's frantic AAA took down 5 Bombers thusfar.
On the seas the battles were also vicious but nonetheless Iroquois naval forces simply outnumber mayan. I did lose one carrier to an over-zealous Submarine but that was acceptable. My coastal cities at size 16-23 with a lot of Policemen and Mobilizaion are cranking out all sorts of warships at a speed banzai cannot possibly follow.
As Bombing continued the Iroquois Landforces decided to concentrate on Byazntium. Mayans are trading with them and very likely recieving money as well. I must destroy them asap. Good thing is that Salamanca has been building Armies for some time now and these are now filled with Tanks. Tanks, that some times generate a leader as well:

The Byzantines do have Infantry but at a typical AI-way they send their Cav and knights forward unprotected. The Inf is redlined and killed by large stacks of arty while the knights and cav are taken care of by Tanks. Attacking twice in one turn will autopromote them so elite tanks are more more rule then exception now!
That our forces remain sharp is shown here:
I placed a rather large stack of ships within wange of Mayan arty and Banzai Bombed my fleet to redlined ships. The ships will go back to heal in port:

However, the arties are protected by a single infantry that was killed by bombing of the ships (before returning home to be fixed) and a bomber finishing the job. A marine:

I caprured 20 arty and 2 workers.
Sadly no transports nearby to bring'em home but disbanding them is still a big plus! This will hurt banzai a lot.
Stay tuned!
