Fox-40: Island Immortality (OCC-AW)

r_rolo1 · Oct 15, 2008

I'm not MIA either, but I admit that I got a little lost with the swaps this time

( and was seriously overbooked last week too

)

I think it is better to resume whenever mr fox wants me

GreyFox · Oct 16, 2008

Hmm ... why is it that you guys turn up when I have got the save but am actually busy?

Anyhow, played this in two halves, last night and tonight. First off, is the stupid event again.

Also note the troubles at sea. Fortunately was able to fend them off, only losing a ship which was replaced quickly.

We razed the Sumerian city of Nibru,

sank a whole city of Justinian transports,

and eliminated the Chinese:

Then, we see Justin sporting tank killers -- gunships. Hmm, this might turn ugly. Fortunately, marines are handling gunships quite well, expecially if the marines are on a mountain ... (hmm, mountain marine :crazyeye:

).

This however caused me to delay our expedition into HRE as we need to reinforce the eastern stack with some SAMs.

Got the exact same event agin ... stupid!!!

The RNG is getting very unimaginative these days, always tossing the same random events.

Note also the bombing of our horses. Anyway, I played until I successfully reinforced the eastern stack.

Suggest they head back north to clear the Sumerian cities first, which would offer weaker resistance. Then, once the vessel get back, send the second stack south to take on HRE. Then, start building reinforcement for both stack. Once the eastern forces can be reinforced again, have it sweep down south again. Also, we would soon have a general. Suggest getting a supermedic and reinforce the southern stack.

Careful with the transport here, it can land in 3 undefended tiles of our immortal island in one movement.

Imhotep is UP, rolo1 on deck.

Also Mighty Mr. GreyFox has to be :whipped:

from time to time. Joke?

I'll be back next week, have to hand in my paper on Monday 20th...

berserks01 · Oct 16, 2008

I knew you guys (Immy and rolo) aren't really mia. I just wanted to give the thread some publicity and to get your attentions

Ozbenno · Oct 16, 2008

So who is up now, Immoy, rolo or berserks?

Should we send the eastern stack back north first? I'd have thought we're running short of time and the best action would be continuing on with the Byzantines.

berserks01 · Oct 16, 2008

According to Fox,

Immy is up, then rolo, and then me.

·Imhotep· · Oct 16, 2008

I'll play tomorrow

Spoiler The Joke" :

It was a set full of bloody action. :ar15:

The stats:

Battle Stats:
Units victorious while attacking: 44
Units victorious while defending: 35
Units withdrawing while attacking: 1
Units defeated while attacking: 2
Units defeated while defending: 13
Units escaping while attacking: 1

79:16, which is a ratio of roughly 5:1. Acceptable.

First we took a trip to the Sumerian countryside...

...but didn't stay for a belated cup of coffee...

...because we learned how to get things done by machines that won't do what we want to do...

We paid uncle Chuck a visit...

...and told him he would share the fate of Aunt Gilly...

We have new Woodie III Medic who needs only 3 XP for his Medic III promo. I've pulled our stack out of the mess which is the HRE - we killed almost his entire army, but the Turks are sending buttloads of troops (Gunships among them). No need to hurry things here.

Our Eastern stack is advancing towards Ur:

Should be easy.

Good luck.

Imhotep

Spoiler The Log :

GreyFox · Oct 17, 2008

Yeah, attacking the HRE is a wild card here. Although HRE is weak, not worthy of an Immortal, he is flanked closely by two of the most powerful (militarily) Civs -- Ottomans and Ethopia.

We have two choices here, I am not sure which is better.

(1) Coordinate our two stacks: first stack attack from north sweeping through Gilgamesh and Mongolia, second stack wait a while than go into HRE again. Then the two stacks start entering Zara at the same time, forcing him to spread his forces.

(2) Both stack go for Justinain attacking different cities.
Definitely need to beef up on our both stack.

In both cases we, have to continuously send reinforcement (might be worthwhile to upgrade those galleons with only 4 movements to transports). So, stacks should head back towards the coast when our vessel sails.

Rolo1 is UP, berserks01 on deck, Ozzy next-in-line.

r_rolo1 is way beyond the customary 24 hrs Got It. So, berserks is UP!

r_rolo1 · Oct 19, 2008

I could had sworn that I had posted a got it :confused:

.....

berserks01 · Oct 19, 2008

Are you playing rolo1? If you are, I will wait.

r_rolo1 · Oct 19, 2008

Be my guest... I can't play today anyway

berserks01 · Oct 19, 2008

Alright, got it then.

berserks01 · Oct 19, 2008

Since my jokes are short, I'll give y'all 2 of them

Joke 1:

Spoiler :

Joke 2:

Spoiler :

My set is riddled with good events, bad events, city razing, land improvement razing as well as sea-based improvement razing, and miscellaneous.

Good events:

Bad events (same one happened twice):

City razings:

Land and sea razing:

Well, no pics here but our farm, pigs, horses, silver mine, copper mine, crabs, and oil platform were razed left and right. Our workers were pretty busy getting them back up but are having a hard time keeping up.

I resorted to putting a SAM Infantry on each tile to help out, but it doesn't seem to help out much only slowed down a little. Luckily the oil is back online already.

Miscellaneous:

Our current sit-rep:

That was a GA that was settled. I set research to Satelites, feel free to change it. Because of razing happening on our home land, I've had very little chance of actually building re-inforcements though I did manage some.

You can also note my inexperience with modern naval warfare where I spent 5 minutes looking for a Battleship build in the queue never realizing that Missile Cruiser is it's counterpart after Robotics came in

berserks01 · Oct 19, 2008

On a side note, can someone tell me why my autosave started doing this?

Creating a beginning turn save and an ending turn save as January and July I mean.

r_rolo1 · Oct 19, 2008

BtS newbie in advanced ages aproaching......

Basically you have the autosave set for 1 turn and in BtS in normal speed, after 1940 (?) IIRC the turns are of 6 months, not anual

berserks01 · Oct 19, 2008

So does that mean I played 20 turns instead of 10?

jason77024 · Oct 19, 2008

Any possibility of an overall sit-rep for those who can't load the save?

Thanks!

Yep. Well, actually no, I think you played 22 turns, the previous save was January 1949 and yours was January 1960.

I have never played it but I think the turns become even shorter in some variations. During the end game in Marathon they are 1 month each :crazyeye:

. I do remember the discussions about it when BTS come out.

Can we take it you have not got the the late 1900's in BTS before?
