Ultraviolet Catastrophe
I hate my life. Played 1 more turn and no combat so far, but things are getting pretty ugly around Drona. Up north I retreated Axe1 onto the wheat. The barb axe advanced SE across the river but the archer disappeared. I think we should continue with the planned retreat and wait for the axe to attack us. By Drona...
I am afraid. I think we need to protect Drona's gold. We can attack the main (4-unit) stack, which only has 1 axe, but not wipe it out. We might (30%?) lose an axe on the first attack (I'm thinking we use the 5XPs for C1 and +25% melee) but the others should be fine. Should we post a warrior on the gold to prevent/hurt Toku's 4th unit from taking it? Maybe the 2nd warrior if our other axes survive in decent shape to defend Drona? We need to whip an axe in Delhi and prep another in Drona. In Bolly it will be fastest (and allow time to revolt to Theoc) to 2-whip the library and then build an axe. Or we could go straight to axes and pump them out without whipping every 2 turns (3 turns for the first). Save has been uploaded. We need to talk.

- The stack of axe (C1), 2 spears (C2), and archer (Drill1) crossed the river and are south of Drona, next to the gold.
- A new Jap axe (C2) is now SE of the city on the hill, another axe (C1, cover) is SE of that, and another axe (C1) has joined the 2 archers in Osaka.
- Countering them in Drona we have: axe(5XP), axe(3XP), axe(C1), and 2 warriors.
