in the combat calc there... that's all of the military that we have within striking distance. So currently we only have 9 GS that can reach the stack.

we really need more trebs over there so that we can knock some hps off. Once we build spite I'd expect that they would come straight for it next turn. Then we can heal in the barracks (that should be rushed while pinging them with the treb. too bad we only have 1 over there

@G-man: If it wasn't for the Immortals I might take a shot at 'em this turn... but what I don't want to do is strand a bunch of wounded Gallics next to a stack of healthy Immortals.

My current thinking: When their units stepped out of the fog, they saw one pike on the hill, and a handful of Gallic Swordsmen. They can't see the other pike behind the hill, and they probably won't anticipate me rushing another pike in Spite as soon as it's founded.

I'm hoping they come right at Spite, and attack the town with the immortals... this will give me a little more leeway to go after their stack.

We all have issues... but you have Igor.

In other news, I just played. Dispatches in a moment.

I think let them come is a better way of a frontal attack, and what will we rush in Spite? walls?barracks?

the problem of a frontal attack will be the Imortals counter strike i guess.

Sir Bugsy · Apr 28, 2006

Scout is right. Let their stack get right next to Spite, then we can have some fun. :devil:

Whomp · May 1, 2006

In case you didn't see this in the Donut thread. Very interesting read.

Robi conversation

Sir Bugsy · May 1, 2006

That is great intel Whomper. Robi's experience dovetails with ours. We need to do some brainstorming on an attack plan.

scoutsout · May 2, 2006

That is some awesome intel!

I'm going to be thinking about this game all day...

Several have suggested an amphibious assault on their iron city. I'd like to make that assault force 6-8 longbows and 2 Pikes... landed one turn after a thrust to their center (which I hope will draw any reserve away from their iron city). Robi's suggestions on an eastern maneuver are well worth considering. I'm glad I've got another boat in the queue.

Sir Bugsy · May 2, 2006

I like that combination of units for a landing force.

I have to say that I have some reservations following someone else's campaign strategy. It isn't that I don't trust that person's military mind. I don't like putting the safety of our troops into the honorableness of another team. I realize that Donuts leaking our plan to TNT is highly unlikely, but there is that wee small voice of doubt and mistrust. I would hate to place our troops into a trap.

I need to map out Robi's campaign strategy.

Between his skirmishing tactics v. TNT and his intricate logistical ideas... some on our team might find it a bit disconcerting to know who this guy reminds me of...

But it doesn't matter. I'm not going to split our forces more than once. And I'm not going to split them at all until we have Ivory in our posession.

Splitting the force 3x is highly risky. Also, I think our initial thought to land near Carpetbomb in the N is just fine, without the excursion to the Jungle. In fact, we should get Donuts to handle the jungle work if they're interested (gets them more luxes too, so they should be).

@Bugs: when you draw out Donut's plan, also draw out ours. I do believe that the single landing will be a safer bet. One thing we could do, is make TNT believe that we are, in fact, going to try a frontal assault 1 or 2T before the landing. If we sell it hard enough, that landing force should be in pretty good shape. If we're lucky, that frontal assault may even accomplish something

Tubby Rower · May 3, 2006

I agree... only land up north. Us going to the south would duplicate any efforts that they would be doing. It sounds like D'nut is going to build up for 20 turns and then attack with us.

So just Carpetbomb + Iron town would be sufficient IMO

I'd attack indeed it if I were them... in the end it's 'their' continent after all.

Tubby Rower · May 3, 2006

I asked BCLG100 if he had seen the MIA galleys coming up their west coast... he didn't respond. I hope he took it seriously.

I saw this post this morning and wanted to come back to it.

I couldn't agree more.

I like this, and will draw up a plan based on this concept... Only I'd rather design that frontal assault to accomplish something. Like put Dancing Banana to the torch.

I'll probably post a scheme of maneuver in the "military headquarters" thread.

Daghdha · May 4, 2006

Fully garee on focusing on the northern part. We take whatever we can get up there until Nutters are ready to jump in (20?). Then we make peace and let them get some of the jungle. They get luxes, we get specialist farms + ivory. TNT gets busted :hammer:

Here's an excerpt from a chat between Whomp, AK, and Simon from TNT. Hopefully I didn't leave anything in that'll get me banned. :crazyeye:

Spoiler :

Sir Bugsy · May 7, 2006

That's interesting two SODs. Sounds like TNT is in complete turmoil. The second amphibious landing should send them into major panic. They will probably shift some defenders east to fill the void left by their loses.

Scout - how far are we away from the second landing? We need to give them at least two turns to bring more victims east.
