So will G-man and Offa leave me anything? I'm betting no. 
You probably get the chance to finish the game, it all depends on how clever the guys are with their shipping duties. 
I'm pondering a another 5CC game...on SID!
Standard pangea, 7 rivals and no barbs. Is it possible? It might turn out to be AW with only 5 cities or with clever trading, cheeky moves and careful planning...erh...something. I don't know if anyone tried this template yet.
Babs would be the CIV. (how many times have I lost with them already?)
Anyone here interested? We will have to restart a couple of times I reckon. I played 5CC a few times myself on SID and of course lost, but there are possibilities with strategies I didn't think of. We would absolutely need a cow and a river!
The good thing with 5 cities only, it will be pretty past paced.

sorry, only got to the beginning of 1695AD tonight before it got too late. Will finish tomorrow. Only the Hittites are left right now.

Preflight check: Open a 1700AD save, but get a 1675AD date. Check theRats log and confirm that 1675AD is right 
Check F4, were at war with Sumeria and Byz, peace with Hittites and Spanish.
Whip a transport in Xinjian, then airlift Marines to the Airport on the same Island. Move up tank armys to make sure everthing else is gone next turn except for the 1 tile island city.
DoW on Spain. Take Jaen, Logrono (raze), Valladolid (autorazed)
T1: 1680AD Take Madrid (Keep w/ Shakes); Take Pamplona (keep, 1 tile island)
and the Spanish are dead.
Take Naissus, but lose three bombers, and the Byz are dead.
Sumerians:
Take the harbor town of Izumo but it autorazes. Take Zabalam and I keep it as a port city.
T2: 1685AD bombing and moving
T3: 1690AD Sumeria: Take Asturias, raze Bristol and Nagasaki, destroying the Sumerians.
Start setting up to take out the Hittites
(beginagain)
T4: 1695AD DoW on the Hittites
Steal war plans, stop looking for Waldo, instead look for their rubber but cannot find any, just oil which is within striking range.
Bomb the oil (2 bombers)
Bomb Aleppo on their main island
Bomb Neodakheat on their main island
Use 4 Marines and raze Aleppo
Load up 3 workers and head back S.
Bomb Birmingham
Bombard Karhuyuk with Arty, finish off with bombers and take with a vTank
Bomb Macao and raze it
IBT: Watch all those wonderful AI movements
T5: 1700AD Sink a sub near Isin with a destroyer (4/4)
Kill a stack of units outside Seattle, then bomb it
Kill a bunch of stuff in Anyang, then raid it with 6 Marines (3 live) killing 3 infantry and we raze the city.
Kill some units threatening Leeds and Chicago
Bomb Emar and land an Army and a tank next to it.
Bomb Neodakheat again, but it seems that the Hittites have stacked a ton of units in that town. Need to move more bombers down here now that most of the Northern island towns are razed.
Good luck and have fun (warning, it's a bit of a snoozer at this point
)!
I have transports in the N, hopefully in range to pick up some tank armies and bring them south. There's also a tactical nuke near the capitol in case we wanna get mean (I guess, I didn't cue it up, but it just finished last turn).
And now, the real 1700AD save

1. Let's not use the nuke. we don't need to.
2. Will Offa be able to finish it off in his turns, or will there be a town or two left for me? Enquiring minds want to know!

lurker's comment: Go go go! Beat up them Hitties!
1700ad
Hmm, the Hittites have quite a force left: 42 rifles, 95 infantry, 58cav, 75guerillas, 2 settlers, 16 destroyers, 2 battleships and various transports etc. They still infest seven islands and have quite a large land area. It looks like more than 5 turns to me.
Investigate Iconium, the Hittites 2 tile size 1 city, a potential problem. It has 3 inf, 2 rifle, 2 cav all vets.
1705
Reposition some bombers to attack Iconim next turn.
First attack v Hittites outside Chicago gives a leader.
Neodakheat has loads of defence so will attack Kummani instead. This is bombed and unfortunately autorazes, (no culture).
Malatya destroyed, which cleanses the Sumerian continent.
Attack Emar with an army without any bombing first and capture it (3 vet inf killed).
I think a lot of key units (transports etc) are asleep. I try to wake them all up.
Ibt
The Hittite unit movements fly by (animations off for some reason), but they appear to have destroyed a large landing party on their mainland. A transport with an army and escort are gone presumed sunk.
1710
Capture Birmingham.
Lose a transport to thin air outside Shanghai: presumably a nuc sub and this explains what happened on the ibt to my transport. Kill it with a battleship.
Ibt
Gain a leader in defence outside Iconium
1715
Capture Iconium.
Capture Adana.
Ibt
Lose a damaged cav army in a counterattack by a cav.
Lose a tank in an attack by infantry.
1720
Destroy Nara on northern island.
Capture Hubishna, and the Hittites are finally down to their own island, although they still have one settler to kill on a 3 tile island. I bomb his defenders and capture him.
Neodakhat is bombed to emptiness then captured with a marine. We finally have a base on the Hittite mainland. I need to send a big force over based on how my initial landing force was wiped out.
A second town is built (New Gewanga) 2 further tiles in from the Hittite Beach-head.
An airfield is made on the oil north of this, and an invasion can really start.
Ibt
The Hittite counterattack was ferocious. I had foolishly rebased 16 bombers on the Hittite airfield, defending them with a load of mech infantry and tanks, but they all died, along with a defensive GL. At least the Hittite forces are depleted too. The ibt carnage took ages to watch and it wasn't pleasant seeing infantry and cav steadily chipping away at my mech infantry defence and then the soft tank underbelly. Watching 16 bombers snap in half wasn't great either.
1725
Retake the square north of my beach-head city. Land some armies on the northern Hittite continent.
The Hittite force is now 19 rifles, 9 cav, 36 infantry, 3 art, 3 destroyers, 8 fighters , 2 bombers, 30guerillas and one flak. That is quite a bit less than half the force they had 5 turns ago. They may still be capable of some counter attack, but not as ferocious as the two responses to landings I have just had. We should be able to overwhelm them fairly quickly now.
They invasion is being slowed by the variant requiring 2 defenders per town. I dont really like abandoning towns just to free up troops, but this would speed things up.
I admit I havent paid any attention at all to city management. I have just transported some workers back to the home continent to help with pollution which is getting bad.
This hasn't been quite the pushover I imagined. The Hittites have wiped out two invading stacks on their main island, albeit at some cost to themselves.
Their outlying islands have all been captured, and we do have a beach-head on their main island so things should be smoother now. It has been a very time consuming 5 turns.

Next turnset will do it.
Losing 16 bombers like that? How sloppy, Offa.
Seriously, it's about 100 units left. Abandon towns as Offa suggests, to free up troops, if it's necessary. No holding back now.

Start freeing up some units. Abandon New Gayagaahe. We have several units with movement available on the Hittite mainland. Use them to attack Samuha. Use up the tanks and Mech Inf, bring some marines to bear via an amphib attack and…
Abandon Gandasetaigon, freeing up two more units. Abandon Leeds and Exeter, loading those units on a transport. Find one or two unmoved free units and give them orders. And so ends the pre-flight. Eight Hittite cities left. 17 rifles, 9 cavs, 10 infantry, 27 guerillas. Those are the ones I need to worry about.

Abandon New York, Chondote, New Goigouen and Asturias. Use Kadesh to load some troops then abandon that as well. Start setting up for the second turn. Unload some troops next to Tarsus. Airlift a goodly number of troops into Ugarit. We should be able to repeat our Amphibious tactics at Hattusha. Ankuwa will remain the tough nut. Perhaps with fewer cities, the Hittites will have some support issues. The present Hittite order of battle is: 13 rifles, 6 cavalry, 22 infantry, 20 guerillas, 4 fighters and 2 artillery. The Hittite navy has ceased to exist.

Abandon New Akwesasne, Reading and fly their troops to the front.
At Hattusha, we have a bloodless capture, well until I razed it.
At Ankuwa, we make short work of the defenders.
The circled troops were the previous defenders.
