Electricity --> Atomic Theory, due in seven turns at 70%.
We arent attacked.
1798 (5): We take Edinburgh, defended by three inf and a rifleman. We lose an ET and a Hotchkiss (171-70).
We storm British Tlatelolcat
, held by an inf and two riflemen (174-70).
We demolish Sheffields two garrisons, held by a rifleman and a musketman (176-70).
We seize Sheffield, defended by an inf and two riflemen, for the loss of a Hotchkiss (179-71)
We capture Southampton, held by three riflemen and a lawyeran easy battle, since were able to use early tanks (183-71). We capture two workers.
We take Dover, again using ETs (held by three riflemen; 186-71).
We gain a Great Artist picking off a redlined Schneider outside Dover (187-71).
We storm Leeds, defended by an inf and a rifleman, losing a Hotchkiss (189-72).
We remove Coventrys garrison, which unusually isnt defended.
We seize Coventry, held by an inf, three riflemen, and a spearman. We lose an ET (194-73) and capture a settler = worker. From an uncovered worker near the town we gain another Great Artist.
We capture Manchester, held by four riflemen, at the cost of two Hotchkisses (198-75).
We culture-bomb Manchester.
We annihilate Londons garrison, held by a musketman (199-75).
Our extremely indirect approach has allowed us to assault London with early tanks attacking across open ground, rather than Hotchkisses attacking across a river. So having made every possible preparation, we send our tanks in
and were rewarded when we take the city at minimal loss, despite its defending force of five inf, three riflemen, and a marine inf (one ET lost; 208-76). We capture five workers.
