Turn down science spending to match learning Miniturization and the build at NY more closely.

Rush a courthouse and university here and there. Rush a barracks in Basra as I mistrust Xerxes intentions as he has six ironclads, a galleon and a transport in Arabian waters. Start bomber and tanks in couple of cities. Move a couple of bombers into Mecca Dispatch a tank army to Basra and move a transport out of Mecca to Cleveland
X-man owes us a lot of money with nothing offsetting it on our side. I smell a hit
Joan's research on AmphibWar doesn't look so stupid as she has a nice jumping off point in former Roman territory from where ahe can hit Egypt in one.
T3 1550
Shift wealth to military, upgrade some obsoletes, move tanks to the front between Mongolia and Egypt. Fly recon missions to keep an eye on Xerxes who is in the strait between Cleveland and Arabia.
T4 1555
Dyes deal expires. No discontent. Hire a couple of clowns at NY just in case. Found Falmouth between Hyannis and Brownsville.
Bismarck will talk but has nothing to say
Ship Isabella a gift of rubber to stiffen her resistance. Sell some oil to Cleo to get her some tanks against X-man and Joan. Cancel a couple of lux deals with the ladies hoping war weariness will bring them to the peace table. and let the coal deal with X-man die.

Diplomatic cable
The Queens are at peace with each other!!
Cleo gets a gift of silks to celebrate her good judgement. The only thing we have to offer Joan is either money or rockets...Isabella also gets a gift of silks and I hope she'll trade the business suit for a more becoming frock, and maybe get a better hairdo.
Joan leaves our coast and heads for Arabia. Xerxes is trailing his coat past Nome,
T9 1580
Lose track of the growth rates and cities riot all over the place. Hire a bunch of taxmen. I have been spending down the treasury getting our troops upgraded and then reinforcing Chapel Hill as our Northern Defense Force and the units in the west. I just have a really rotten feeling about the Punk Queen (a refugee from Paris in 1968 I think).
We may want to take a breather in the space race to build some happy infrastructure.
Decide to see if I can pull some luxes but can only do it with France. She will trade Dyes and Ivory, 83g+100gpt for Ecology. I don't like the deal because if she pulls the trigger on us she gets the tech. I rebate 40gpt just so she has something to lose should she decides to double cross us. She goes from annoyed to polite.
Rebase some aircraft so we have air support for the troops in the west.
T10 1585
German invasion force drops off a single dragoon in Arabia. Looks like a good opportunity for some tanker promotions. Hit the unit with a bomber, then send in the tank. One dead dragoon, but the tanker failed his boards.
There is another lone German infantryman just waiting for a taste of American bombs. Hit him with three bombiung runs and send in the tankers, One dead grunt, one slightly wounded tank.
We can get peace with Germany and a bunch of slaves or we could send in the tnaks and take Hamburg just to teach Otto a real lesson.
There are pre-builds in place for the first SS parts in New York (Manhattan Project due in 5), and Washington (palace due in 12). Other cities are building solar plants due in 3, 4 or 5 turns and can be shifted to SS part production.SynFib are due in 3 treasury is at +328gpt, science at 80%. It seems that running 100% science for one turn , then down to 80% is the best use of the the infrastructure. (The one turn at 100% spends less gold for that one turn than is replaced in the 80% turns).
There are a few automated pollution clean up workers running around. That seems to be the quickest way to find the hot spots to concentrate the rest as needed.
(but it wouldn't happen, we got it locked.)
Alright, blast off it is!
Modern Age GA!!
