Although I am SoW I worry that I'm not certain about what the war aims should be. Partly this is because I see the post of SoW to lead in managing any war and defence and all the units and logistics. I see my job is to tell everyone how I think it is and what I think will be and let the people decide to war or not. I think this is what our CoL was aiming for.
The problem as I see it is that we can't crush Germany, so if we continue the war a city is the obvious target. Hamburg is a bit of a nightmare to get to. Dortmund is fairly lightly defended, but is only worth razing. This would be quite feasible - epsecially with robboo's suggestion of a southward party. The rest of the cities apart from Berlin are too far south.
That leaves Berlin. It would be a nice capture. However, can we do it? I reckon 15-20 is the minimum we need before we can attack. If we go into full military mode by then to produce replacements for 5-8 turns we might pull it off. However, we will lose a *lot* of units, leaving us quite weak - and there are no guarantees we will capture it. It is a risky plan.
However, the citizens seem to be in favour, so that is what I've planned for. I would like to play another 10 turns, see how we look and then get citizen approval via a poll for an attack plan.
