Builds:

Spoiler :

Switch The Igloo from UN to Battlefield Medicine.
Switch The Silo from the engine to the UN.
Switch The Gulag from ICBM to the engine (8 turns).

EWS:
Didn't record all the specifics. Moved most of the privateers around counter-clockwise and used our jets to recon the rest. We are threatened by only the two SABER transports that we already knew about. (NOTE: That isn't correct. We were not able to recon enough in the south. There are two tiles we cannot see that could contain transports that could make an amphibious assault on The Nursery though they would not be able to enter the city.)

Cleared, mined and railed the wheat tile between The Gulag and The Silo.
Moved a worker/slave pair to the grass south of The Gulag.
Joined a worker to The Gulag. Engine is back down to 7 turns (using the wheat tile).
Cleared a grass tile so The Silo would not starve.
The remaining workers begin railing the iron tile between The Gulag and The Treasury.

Move our artillery to the gem mountain and shell the SABER naval stack:
(Babe) artillery hits the elite battleship for 1 hp.
Radar artillery hits elite cruiser for 2 hps.
Radar artillery hits elite battleship for another 1 hp.

Radar artillery move to The Arboretum.
Moved our new mech inf and the garrison in Chamsuri's Cove to The New Yard.
SABER has 24 transports. We can see 2 and 18 were in the stack up by FREE. This leaves 4 unaccounted for which could possibly threaten The Nursery.
Put one mobile SAME in The Nursery, The New Yard, The Gulag and The Silo.
Garrison The Nursery and The New Yard with 42 units each (plus the mobile SAM).
The Silo and The Gulag have 7 unit garrisons (plus the mobile SAM).
Our remaining land units guard resource tiles.

Switched The Aerie over to mech inf for the mobilization bonus.
Rush the nuke sub in The New Yard for 380g.
Rush the nuke sub in The Nursery for 340g.

We have 2357g and are running a 76gpt deficit. Stealth in 38 turns with one scientist.

I'm amazed this game is still going :thumbsup:

donsig · Apr 20, 2010

Summary: We run our EWS and continue to improve tiles around The Gulag. Barring sabotage or renewed bombing we should be able to complete the engine in four turns.

SABER builds the UN and The Silo switches to an ICBM. (No shields lost.)
The Arboretum builds a worker.
The New Yard builds a nuclear sub.
The Nursery builds a nuclear sub.

EWS report:

Spoiler :

Mined the iron tile near The Gulag. Cleared, mined and railed a bg near The Gulag. This takes us up to 26spt. We need another 4spt to shave another turn off the engine time. Not sure if we can pull that off but we can try. Move a worker/slave pair onto a cratered bg in order to build a road next turn. Mined the irrigated plains tile and we're up to 28spt. We show the engine in 5 but in 4 turns we'll have 522+4*28=634 shields - just 6 shy of the 640 we need. We should be able to find those.

Nuke sub moved from The Nursery to The New Yard.

We should have three new workers next turn. Oh, and a couple new slaves if we take the BABE settler. Switched The Meeting Room to a settler which will be ready next turn. Switched The Nursery, The Dislodged and The Squeeze over to workers also, for three more workers next turn.

We have 2285g with a 74gpt deficit.
We are 37 turns from stealth with one scientist working away.

donsig · May 9, 2010

Summary:
Our citizens rejoice as BABE is eliminated, FREE luxuries roll in, our economy returns to normal, taxes are lowered and spending on luxuries is increased! Our war torn cities plan multiple celebrations as our gallant air force sinks two SABER destroyers, damages four more and returns to base safely. Our workers continue to clear rubble and rebuild our mines and railroads. We are officially 20 years away from launching our spaceship! Rumor has it that five years will soon be shaved from the official timetable as our government formulates plans to foil SABER sabotage.

BABE offers 38g. We accept.

Raise lux slider to 50% (from 40%). We now have one scientist, one engineer and two content citizens. All others are happy. Not sure what this will do to our production since we should get a WLTKD.
Switch The Silo from ICBM (2 turns) to the palace (7 turns). It has 476 shields in the bin and is making 20spt after waste.
The Igloo has 488 shields but is only making 3spt.
We'll have three new workers next turn.

We have 2251g and are now running a 138gpt deficit since we raised the lux slider a tad. Stealth in 36 turns with one scientists working away.

donsig · May 24, 2010

Summary: We continue along. Sank the SABER cruiser. Improved a couple tiles, cleared a couple more and build some roads. Tried exposing SABER's spy and failed. Succeeded in replanting a spy and tried the exposure again. It failed again but I was able to replant our spy once more. We are two turns from finishing the engine in The Gulag. The next save will be interesting.

The Aerie: settler
The New Yard: worker

Artillery (moves E to mountain and) shells 4/4 cruiser (SABER) for 1 hp damage.
Radar artillery (moves to same mountain and) shells same cruiser for 2 hp damage.

Worker moves:

Spoiler :

Joined the settler to The Silo. It now has 498 shields in the bin and is making 25spt (out of 28, 3 are wasted).
Moved the radar artillery back to The Arboretum.
Almost forgot to try to expose SABER's spy! It costs 216g to do this safely.

Well that isn't good. I'm not sure how spying works but I'll go ahead and try to replant the spy. It is only 88g.

Ok, at least that worked. Yikes, we can try to expose the spy again. I am way out of my league here with this espionage stuff but it seems foolish not to try to expose the spy again. So here goes another 216g. . We failed again and I spent another 88g to successfully plant another spy. We still have over 1550g but I'm not trying to expose the spy a third time since I'm too worried it may be an automatic failure.
The Gulag has 580 shields in the bin and is making 34spt (36spt with 2spt wasted). So the engine is due to complete in two turns with a slight over-run. There are fireworks in The Gulag even without a food surplus.
The Silo has 498 shields in the bin and is making 25spt (28spt with 3spt waste). No fireworks since there are two unhappy citizens. The engine would finish in six turns. Current pre-build is the palace (5 turns).
The Igloo has 491 shields in the bin but is only making 3spt (with no waste). Current pre-build is Battlefield Medicine (3 turns).
We have 1513g and are running a deficit of 136gpt. Stealth in 35 turns with one scientist plugging away at it. Raising the luxury rate to 60% (a 10% increase) makes everyone in The Silo happy and only increases our deficit to 169gpt so I do that.

Hasdrubal Barca · May 29, 2010

So we are going to win? 2 turns till final victory? is that it?

Ups, just finished reading the atom bomb on The Gulag by SABER, nasty

donsig · Jun 9, 2010

Summary: The Gulag was nuked, is down to 6 pop and we lost some units but we're still 3 turns from completing the engine there. We concentrated on improvements near The Silo and that city can complete the engine in 4 turns. We did not find any SABER transports but we are unable to run a full EWS. The New Yard, The Shallows, The Marina and The Squeeze could potentially be attacked by SABER though the odds seem low. We've left The New Yard open but have garrisoned the other three cities.

FREE sends us stealth and we accept.

Builds:
The Squeeze: worker

EWS moves:

Spoiler :

EWS report:
That nuclear strike also destroyed the two jets we had on the mountain NE of The Gulag. We also lost some privateers and so we were unable to do a complete EWS. There are a few tiles in the north that are still in the fog. We did not find any SABER ships but if there are SABER transports hidden in the fog then The Shallows, The Marina and The Squeeze are vulnerable. There are also a couple tiles in the south where transports could reach (but not enter) The New Yard. There are 43 units each in The New Yard and The Nursery. There are a few other units guarding resources. I think we lost some land units around The Gulag as well. I doubt there are any SABER transports in the fog near our coast but we need a garrison plan anyway.

Garrisons:

The New Yard is vulnerable to capture but transports could not enter the city and unload so I will leave that city undefended. If Saber does take the city we will hopefully get a chance at a leader next turn.
The Squeeze, The Marina and The Shallows could possibly be entered by transports so I will redistribute the 86 units in the The New Yard and The Nursery (plus the armor sitting between The Meeting Room and The Red Tape) among these three cities. Also move one artillery piece into each city. That will give them 30 units each.

Workers and prebuilds:

We have 20 workers and 14 slaves available.
Of these, there are 3 worker/slave pairs in position to build roads near The Silo.
Another worker/slave pair started a railroad W of The Igloo. (I thought they were there to build a road so I typed 'R' without thinking.)
So there are 16 workers and 10 slaves left. (42-12=30-22=8)
The Gulag has 596 shields in the bin and is making 16spt after waste. There is one plains tile that can be cleared, mined and railed this turn. That would add 2 or 3 spt after waste if we joined a worker to the city. That would put us at 614 or 615 shields next turn. Even clearing, mining and railing two bgs next turn wouldn't be enough to shave a turn. Looks like we're still three turns away here.
Switching The Silo over to Universal Suffrage. Don't want to risk building the palace there by mistake. The Silo has 524 shields in the bin and is making 26spt after waste. We only need an increase of 3spt to shave a turn off the engine here (bringing it down from 5 to 4). So, we will improve tiles around The Silo.
Mine and rail tobacco tile W-NW of The Silo.
Clear, mine and rail grass W of The Igloo (it's in The Silo's BFC).
Begin to clear plains S-SE of The Silo.
Switch The Igloo to the palace.

Miscellaneous:

Set our lone scientist to work on smart weapons.
Our trade route with FREE is open again! Send dyes and sanitation to them with accept. We should ask for those furs, spices and silks.Lowered lux rate to 40%.
SABER has a communist government. Is this old news?
We'll have a new jet and another worker next turn.

donsig · Jun 23, 2010

Summary: Rail connection to The Chamber restored as workers are positioned to build more roads around our capital. Our land forces are repositioned in an effort to minimize impact from SABER nukes. No espionage activity this turn. We have two cities that can complete the engine in three turns. We sit and wait now to see what SABER does and whether FREE sends those luxes.

FREE sends their world map and we accept.

If SABER is coming they will want to destroy our spaceship by capturing The Chamber. We need to make sure we have roads in the area.

Spoiler :

Note: Not rushing workers or settlers in our coastal cities just yet. Want to keep the pop up in case we want to draft. This also helps with our big deficit. Leaving lux at 40% in case CommandoBob sends those three luxes he has.

We have 1293g and are running a 75gpt deficit. Smart weapons in 49 turns with one scientist working on it.

donsig · Jul 11, 2010

Summary: Coastal cities draft and get set to build something next turn as they prepare for possible abandonment. Mostly settlers and workers who are anxious to board the spaceship but we will have a couple tactical nukes. No ICBMs though. Most interior cities work on jets though none will be ready for some turns. The Council prepares to move the capitol inland to The Gulag as the Last First Councilor makes an executive decision to have The Silo openly work on the engine. We tried and failed twice to expose SABER's spy though we were able to replant a new spy both times. The Council raises the luxury rate to 50% in hopes of orchestrating spontaneous 'We Love the Councilors Days' across the country. Now we sit tight and see what SABER does.

Time to try to expose SABER's spy. It costs 216g to do it safely. We failed again. Try to replant our spy for 88g. It worked. Spend another 216g to try to expose the spy again. Failed again. Replanted for 88g. That's 588g we spent. That's enough of that.
Drafted in Chamsuri's Cove, The Marina, The Squeeze, The Meeting Room, The Red Tape, The Dislodged, The Phoenix, The Nursery and The New Yard.

Build queues

Spoiler :

Gave the wheat tile to The Silo, putting it up to 32spt after waste. (It has 582 in the bin and the magic number is 640. Upped the lux rate to 50% (from 40%) for a WLTCD all over the place.
We have 1531g and are running a 155gpt deficit. One scientist is working on smart weapons.
Have I forgotten anything? You know, if SABER nukes our aluminum tile and FREE doesn't send us any then we cannot switch over to the engine until we get aluminum. I didn't station workers on the aluminum and even if I had, they would die in a nuke strike anyway. I think the risk of not being able to switch over to the engine next turn is greater than any benefit we'd get by trying to hide the switch another turn. So I'm switching The Silo over to the engine now. {Have to put The Igloo back on Battlefield Medicine (1 turn), then put The Silo on engine (2 turns) then The Igloo on Universal Suffrage (100 turns).} If SABER has a spy can't they figure out which of our cities has the most shields saved up by looking at the cost of sabotage? If so, then they probably already guessed The Silo has the best chance of building the engine. In any event, we're not gonna make it easy on them by giving them the chance to delay us merely by cutting our aluminum supply.

donsig · Jul 25, 2010

Summary:SABER nuked us good, putting us eleven turns away from completing the engine. We moved our capital city to The Gulag. Put workers into position to build roads next turn. Maybe we'll be able to improve a tile or two next time and shave some turns. No sabotage. No transports in sight.

FREE sends us horses and we will accept.
We lost furs, spices and silk.
The Gulag builds the palace.
We also build three workers, two tactical nukes, a privateer and three settlers.

EWS moves:

Spoiler :

I reported earlier that no rival ships were spotted. I should have said no rival transports were spotted. There were three FREE ships off our southwest coast.

4 roads built (including one on the iron hill).
Finished mining the gems S of The Igloo.
Workers (and slaves) moved to six tiles to build roads next turn.
Cleared the tile N-NW of The Silo.
Lowered lux rate to 20% and hired taxmen and clowns to avoid rioting.
Queued up more workers and settlers in coastal cities.
Left land units where they were.
Engine in eleven turns in The Silo.

1380g, -83gpt, smart weapons in 47 turns.

donsig · Aug 15, 2010

Summary: We disband three coastal cities, build some roads and clear one tile. Hired ten civil engineers in The Silo so we can make some progress on that engine!

FREE sends us horses, coal spices and Tujana. We accept.
The Silo riots.
We have four new workers and a SAM battery in Old Gong Isle.

EWS moves:

Spoiler :

So, we have a problem here. Since we lost that privateer we cannot do a complete EWS. The image below shows the area we are unable to see.

Worker S of The Gulag moved N into the city. (We did this in the pre-turn to check to see if we could trade workers with FREE.)
The Council has decided to play it safe and disband The Greenhouse, The Dislodged and The Phoenix. Draft a unit in The Phoenix then sell the harbor, courthouse and market in that city. Sell the harbor and courthouse in The Dislodged and the harbor in The Greenhouse. Disband the three cities.
The Silo is starving and no tiles are making two shields so I hire ten civil engineers. (I do hope this will end the riots.

Worker moves:

Spoiler :

Move a settler from The Nursery to The Arboretum, another from The New Yard to The Aerie and another from The Marina to the tile NW of The Silo.
Move a tactical nuke from The Red Tape to The Institute and another from The Meeting Room to The Arboretum.
Airlift a conscript mech infantry from Old Gong Isle to airfield N of Tujana.
Move garrison from The New Yard to The Arboretum.
Move newly conscripted unit to tile N-NW of The Silo.
Switch remaining coastal cities over to worker production, except for The Red Tape which begins a transport.
Send dyes to FREE with accept.

We have 1407g and are losing 163gpt. Smart weapons in 46 turns.

donsig · Aug 30, 2010

Summary: We improve a couple tiles near The Silo. We no longer mine, we irrigate and then use our excess food to hire civil engineers. We show the engine in 8 turns. FREE sent us form workers. We declared war on FREE and captured 29 workers. We began airlifting the new slaves back home. Our EWS has a blind spot and we had to abandon Chamsuri's Cove to be safe. Lost a jet in doing so. Our EWS did find a SABER transport off our southwest coast. It is escorted by a couple destroyers. We bombed them but only had two bombers in range. Units on that transport could capture either The Nursery or The New Yard but the ship cannot dock so we did not abandon those cities.

FREE sends workers, we accept.
We build two new workers.

EWS:

Spoiler :

Once again (even with FREE's help this time) we have a blind spot. This time it is Chamsuri's Cove in the blind spot. Will abandon it. :hmm:

We have a jet there that already moved. I wonder what will happen to it? Oh, we lose it.

Railed the tile N-NW of The Silo. Cleared, irrigated and railed the tile W-SW of The Silo. The city now has +6 food per turn but is still only making one shield per turn. Moved our three settlers in but they have no movement points left and so cannot join the city. Hire three engineers and we show the engine in 8 turns. (We have 589 shields in the bin.)
So, now would be the time to declare war on FREE and capture those settlers. We will lose spices and coal. Not sure this is a good idea since I doubt we can airlift workers anyway. Well, here goes nothin'. Order the mech inf to attack the stack of FREE settlers and eclare war on FREE. We have 29 workers (28 Freebie and one entertaining.) Well, that shows you what I know. We can airlift these slaves into The Institute and our airfields. Well, we can only airlift four per turn but it helps.
Send FREE a peace offer with accept.
Lowered lux rate to 10% to reduce our deficit. Hired specialists where necessary to avoid riots.
Move units out of The Gulag and The Arboretum (afraid of a nuke strikes there).
We have 1290g and are running a deficit of 117gpt. Smart weapons in 45 turns with one scientist.

donsig · Sep 13, 2010

FREE sends us their world map and 100g, which we accept.
The Silo riots. I noticed on the trade screen pic that FREE sent that we have no luxes and no resources. Not sure what is going on there but this must be why we have riots.
We have a new worker and a new settler.
We can still see SABER's military in the F3 screen so our spy is still there.
The Silo is down to 4 pop and is unconnected. 589 shields in the bin so no savotage, but then again, why would they ever need to sabotage our production?
Can see the SABER transport off our coast so we'll be able to bomb it. We can take care of the marine that razed The New Yard, too. Do not see those two SABER subs. Maybe FREE sunk them already?
We only have about ten workers/slaves left on our continent so SABER nuked a good many of them plus the settlers.

EWS:

Spoiler :

No new enemy ships sighted.

Think I will just go ahead and play the turn since there are no threats.

Bombers sink SABER transport off our southern coast.
Armor kills SABER marine.

Airlift 4 workers from Tujana area to our home continent.
Move settler next to The Silo.
Hire two civil engineers in The Silo.
Began clearing a tile near The Silo.
Switched some cities over to markets and lowered lux to zero.

We have 1271 gold and are running a 78gpt deficit. Smart weapons in 44 turns with
one scientist working on it.

donsig · Sep 23, 2010

Summary: We plod along. No coastal cities threatened. We quadruple our production in The Silo. Don't get excited, we went form one shield per turn to four and we still have to see if SABER nukes us again.

SABER offers peace without accept. Guess they forgot to clear the table.
FREE sends us a worker and their world map which we accept.
The Igloo and The Hideaway have riots.
We complete a new worker.
We have 590 shields in The Silo. It is population 2 and makes one shield per turn.
Our capital city is population 1 and is not connected by road.

No new ships sighted. No coastal cities threatened.

We have two jets left. I'd like to recon the SABER stack Free showed us but we can't reach it. I'll rebase them to The Silo and if they survive we'll put them on air superiority next round.
Airlifted four more FREE workers over to our home land.
Hired taxmen in The Hideaway and The Igloo. What a way to end a riot.
Moved a settler into The Silo.
Irrigated a tile near The Silo. We work it for another shield and hire an engineer. We show the engine in 13 turns.
Checked the builds. We'll have a couple new markets next turn. I'm going to let them complete. I'm guessing SABER would rather invade FREE than us since the don't want to risk us getting a leader.
We have 1193g and are running a deficit of 86gpt. Smart weapons in 43 turns.

donsig · Oct 4, 2010

Summary:Our EWS is incomplete and we do not know if The Nursery is threatened. The Last First Chairman decides to keep the city but breaks all rail and road connections to the city. We hire a civil engineer to work on the engine and four more to work on the pre-build in The Igloo. We position workers to rebuild roads. We almost sink a SABER battleship.

The SABER diplo screen pops up again. Since they did not accept the peace offer I'll clear the table.
FREE sends 200 gold and three workers which we accept.
We have two new markets and two new workers.
We can see a SABER naval task force of an elite battleship, 3 vet carriers and a vet destroyer 4SE-1S of The Chamber.

SABER's forces:

Spoiler :

Note they have an ICBM now as well as a tactical nuke.
We have only 4 jets and a privateer left for the EWS:

Spoiler :

With FREE's help we know most of our coastal cities are not threatened. We weren't able to check the coast around The Nursery. Do we risk it, abandon it or keep it and just pillage the roads around it? I think we should keep it since it is worth 9gpt so I'll pillage the roads.

Bombers in The Treasury attack the carrier group:

Spoiler :

Airlifted 4 more workers over from the Tujana area.
Moved a couple workers next to The Silo in hopes of entering the city next turn.
Positioned other workers to build roads next turn trying to keep them separated to minimize losses from the inevitable nuclear strikes.
Hired all engineers in The Silo (1) and The Igloo(4).
We show the engine completing in 16 turns in The Silo.
Sent our world map to FREE.
We have 1310g and are running a deficit of 94gpt. Smart weapons in 42 turns with a scientist working.

donsig · Oct 12, 2010

Summary: We eliminate SABER's landing force but there are no promotions. No coastal cities threatened. 15 turns till the engine is complete. Two settlers are should complete next turn.

FREE sends us four workers and 300g. We accept and send our world map back.
First priority is to eliminate the SABER landing forces:

Spoiler :

We succeed but get no promotions.
SABER's forces:

Time for the EWS:

Spoiler :

Our coastal cities are safe this round.

We have 595 shields in the bin in The Silo (3 spt) and 529 in The Igloo (9 spt).

Lots of food in Tujana and it's capped at size six. Hire engineers and switch to aqueduct.
Remaining worker moves:

Summary: We trudge along. Joined a couple workers to The Silo and now we have three engineers working there. Show the engine in six turns.

FREE sends world map, two workers and 125 gold. We accept.
We send FREE world map and economics. (SABER is already nuking us so why hold back the tech?)
We have two new settlers.
We still have a spy with SABER. Here are their forces:

Spoiler :

Looks like they nuked more of our armor. Here's what we have:

Spoiler :

We have 598 shields in the bin in The Silo and show 14 turns from completing the engine.
There is a small SABER naval task force off our south-east coast. 4/4 destroyer, 4/4 and 1/5 battleship and 4/4 transport. We have no bombers left. No other forces in sight.
Built two roads. The Silo is reconnected.
EWS:

Spoiler :

No coastal cities are threatened.
Ir we rail the tile W-NW of The Silo we can get our two settlers into the city and join them. We have three lakes to work, maybe that's enough food to join them. Then we can make them all engineers. Sounds like our best bet. Oh, no iron, can't build any rails. Sigh. Well, we have a couple workers we can move in and join. Let's do that. Nice. We show the engine in 6 turns. 7 food in the bin and a shortage of 4fpt so no starvation.
Moved 6 slaves onto the iron hill so they can start roading next turn.
Airlifted 4 more FREEdom workers over form the Tujana area.
Positioned workers to build more roads next turn.
Joined a worker to The Igloo and hired a couple engineers.
Move a couple more workers into The Silo but left the settlers in place. Don't want to lose them all if the nukes fall again.
Airlifted a mech inf back from The Old Gong Isle.
Not sure if I should move the land units or not. We have them in three stacks. Don't really see any point in moving them. Trying to keep them in places that will do minimal damage to our roads and workers if they are nuked.
We'll have one new worker next turn.
We have 1578g and are running a deficit of 31gpt. Smart weapons in 40 turns with one scientist working.

donsig · Nov 4, 2010

Summary: We abandon two more coastal cities but keep The Chamber and The Treasury despite the six SABER armor poised to strike them. We dispatch 16 armor (two-thirds of our armor force) to protect The Gulag and The Treasury. We move our lone tactical nuke into position to nuke The Chamber if necessary. The Republicans pick up 60 seats on the Council and eliminate the deficit. They then increase defense spending about by 1700 gold and rush a couple tactical nukes.

FREE sends their world map and 140g. We accept and send our world map in return.
The Shallows makes a worker.
Move two armor into The Chamber.
Moved some workers away from the SABER armor and used one to build a radar tower two tiles form both The Chamber and The Gulag.
Build a road on the iron and this allowed me to move the marine into The Gulag.
Jet in northern airfield recons 2W-2NW of The Whale Pond.
Privateer moves 4SW-1S.
Jet in western airfield rebases to The Gulag.
We cannot tell if there are any SABER ships in the northwest so we abandon The Marina and The Shallows. Made 80g selling improvements first.
Built a city in the south and named it The Bunker.
Joined our other settler to The Bunker.
Hired an engineer in The Silo. Show the engine in 14 turns.
Moved a mech inf and a marine next to The Treasury.
Airlifted two workers from the Tujana area to each of our home airfields. There a re two left.
Airlifted a mech inf from The Old Gong Isle to the western airfield.
Don't want to switch to mobilization just yet since we will finish a library in The Whale Pond next turn. The border pop will let us see SABER coming one tile sooner.
Thanks to SABER's nukes we are no longer running a deficit. We can also afford to rush two tactical nukes. No sense in waiting. Rush a tactical nuke in The Aerie for 768 gold and one in The Meeting Room for 936 gold.
Now we have to get some forces in position to defend the southeast. Can't send all of them in case SABER lands somewhere else and have to spread them out so they don't all get nuked. We have 24 armor left. Maybe we do have to send them all. Sigh. Ok, we'll make three groups of 8 armor each. I'll send 2 groups and keep one group near the western roads. Move one group to the tile 2W-1NW of The Gulag. It can reach either The Gulag or The Treasury next turn. We cannot reach The Chamber in two turns. I'm a bit worried that SABER could capture it and rush an airport right away. They could then airlift in more units than we could possibly counterattack. Moved the tactical nuke one tile. It is away from the coast now and within 6 tiles of The Chamber. Might as well chance it and leave The Chamber there. The second group goes to the tile SE of The Silo. It can reach The Gulag next turn. The rest stay near The Red Tape.

SABER's units:

Spoiler :

Visible units:

6 armor 2SW-1S of The Chamber.
Destroyer and transport south of that armor stack.
Carrier and destroyer 3 SW of the destroyer/transport.
Battleship, cruiser and transport 2SW-1S of the Carrier/destroyer.

We have 91g and have a surplus of 1gpt. Smart weapons in 39 turns.
