3.(cont) 1916 AD Select Espionage and set up single scientist.
IBT - Our lines hold. We become a monarchy.
4. 1918 AD MM our cities. Leave lux at 10%, but have to hire a bunch of clown. The Arab bombers have devastated our terrain improvements, and it is costing us. Red line most Arabs within one tile of our lines. Everyone is at least 2hp. Kill about 10 redlined units. Lose one cav.
IBT Our lines hold, barely. We kill about three tanks and two cavs. We lose an inf. There is a monster SOD to the west now.
5. 1920 AD A SOD of 17 units to the east, and a SOD of 43 units to the west. I think Abu is moving his units to the weakest point on the line. Of our 29 arty, I only miss three times. Both SODs are very healthy. This could get ugly. I think I will play one more turn and then pass it on. This is taking a long time.
IBT Abu wants peace straight up. In what may be the worlds dumbest move, I say No thanks We are breached to the west and Abu pours about 12 units onto the mountain. We can no longer make Infantrymen, so we start on a rifle. Lugdunum is now wiped clean of improvements.
6. 1920 AD 7 units are in the breach. It is a bloody battle and we lose about seven units we couldnt afford to lose, but we regain control of the breach. We are stretched pretty thin.

Never thought we'd see the 20th century. Way to hang in there.
Mulls the options....If we take peace and rebuild the terrain, then in 20 turns or so then Abu comes back at us with even more force. If we fight on then we will soon be a 2CC....
Build a settler and escape to the east, but Abu's over there too.... Build a boat and a settler then go look for a one tile island.... become the Flying Dutchman.....The Ghost Ship.....Disappear into the Bermuda Triangle.....
again.
Wait a minute, I think Abu's got Marines, so it better be three ships with three settlers, then we will be a 3oseasea at sea.

This is really getting ugly, seems. But we won't give up unless we are killed. We shall fight to the last man.

The part that is killing us is the constant bombing. Abu isn't bombing our troops very much. He is wrecking our tile improvements. During the IBT you could just watch our budget get worse and worse and tile after tile was bombed.
Believe it or not, we may be able to do some pointy stick research. Abu is already willing to give us peace straight up. That is if we survive.

This is in JB's sig.
Sounds like he's not interested.

Try and grow your fingernails before you play, it will help with the hanging on part. If you get a breach you can't close, you may want to go for peace tech or no tech. Live to fight another day.

Interested, just unsure of myself. Glad to take a turn. If it's a fiasco I'll tell you I couldn't get to it due to hopps poisoning..
Sir Bugsy
Civ.D.
I've had hopps poisoning too many times in my life. Like I said earlier. You need to take the approach that we are already dead and fight like a mad dog. Normally I wouldn't attack an infantryman standing on a mountain, but it was necessary to close the breach. Uncommon times call for uncommon valor and uncommon actions. Be brave! Heed your country's call to defend her.

FWIW, I've been avidly lurking in this one. You guys are putting up a heck of a fight. Keep up the good work. 
BTW - That Sirian Epic was an interesting read to be sure. Nice to know even the great players can get screwed over sometimes.

The Last Battle
1922-1928
Hold off stacks of tanks and infantry in the west and stacks of cavalry and infantry in the east. Bombers wreck the road network and tanks destroy the army. Infantry breach the wall in the SW and cavalry in the East but all are vulnerable to counterattack. And then....
History will remember us as Brennus the Foolish.
