T300, 1860AD



The Khmer are 5-10 turns from overtaking our score



We'll use our last 3 turns of GA to grab Flight



And prepare for D-Day.

LZ Alpha is virtually undefended. With a squad of marine and infantry, softened by airship and destroyer bombardment, we should be able to establish a foothold in Killer's old capital. Bonus: we deny the only source of healthy sheep for celts to shag.

Make no mistake: the #1 priority of this war is to bring glory back to Sumerian lands. Hence: LZ Alpha.



LZ Bravo holds the cache of camo gear. Though there are too many patches for us to deny them to PP, a swift takeover of this resource will help immensely with morale at home.

Once captured, the Bravo team will create a diversion by sending its roaming tanks and sea-borne marines along the east coast.



The main battle lines will be drawn on the West coast, where PP expects it.

Hopefully, not HOW he expects it.




Oirschot and Bergeijk are well defended, but LZ Omega is set above those juicier targets. There we can gain a foothold from which to deploy tanks, alongside the remnants of our cavalry.


With that objective in the bag, and a number of fast units running amok inside the enemy lines, we hope to disorient and fragment the response. A larger contingent of conventional warfare units will land outside Oirschot to meet the enemy with canons and trenches.



Assuming victories at A, B and O, destroyers will deploy blockades at strategic locations. Airships will encroach from Sumerian lands to the East and an airstrip settled in the West Islands. Spies and/or fighter planes will bust their only manufactures of incense and gold (smoke and glitter) to hit enemy morale. Ferries will reinforce B and O every turn.



Take heart, this is almost over.

Creating a diversion, how clever! You seem to address the attack meticulously efficient.

PP hasn't played in nearly a week though, so it'll feel a lot less clever executing it by myself.

T305,



HQ has been restored and turned into a forward airbase @ LZ Alpha



LZ Bravo offered no resistance and tanks rolled right through to the next target while a boatful of marines are aimed at the next city up the East coast





As expected, LZ Omega was best prepared



But a few promotions turned the final LZ @ Boxtel



Into a staging ground for a quick blitzkrieg upon Shijndel



Paving the way for a more serious army on a more serious target.



Spy games to remove the Police State civic were unsuccessful again (4 failures at 67-85%),



But our blockades have proven extremely effective at denying seafood resources as well as oversea trade.



We expect 1 turn of counterattack, if that, followed by a swift victory.

T306 progress

Fighter planes rebase forward, resistance negligible on the Alpha front



Tanks blitz through Achelse Kluis while Marheeze had 1 defender too many for a same-turn amphibious capture. At 2 defenders only, Leende might fall next turn.



A cavalry charge took care of Shijndel, fighter planes paved the way for a flawless victory at Oirschot, and Eindhoven will be in serious jeopardy next turn.



Ynnek was hoping for a space race but for that to happen, he would have needed to conquer Greece. The future is thus uncertain on that front, and he might take his chances attacking as his outlook for victory is dire. Now, we had no business winning this one at all, to be blunt. We couldn't have won alone. was less opportunistic and bungled his economy by not specializing cities enough. So that gave us a chance to win, but we couldn't have done it without a dependable ally. So I'm tempted to end it with a twist.

Wow, he just gave all his cities to socralynnek! ProPain dropped from 2126 to 1457 points by that flip and socralynnek rose from 3651 to 4103.

You said "I'm tempted to end it with a twist", but I think that's now redundant.

Yeah I had half a mind to conquer PP and then vassal to Ynnek. I guess Ynnek will takes his chances with artillery.

Meanwhile:

T310, 1880 AD

With 's half of 's lands, but mine still resisting:



The Celts have left their last mark on the scoreboard



Domination isn't a viable option



The Khmer are ill-prepared for war, grasping at bombers and submarines



By the time they have them, every city will have a fighter patrol and Manhattan might see some play
