Emperor
At last word had reached her of the demise of Saladin, who had proved a far worthier opponent than she had expected, despite his ridiculous Beard.
So with the war on her North Western front the time had come to pay the ridiculous Russian a visit and start down the road of completing domination of the known world.
Her Army looked sufficient to take down the impudent Russian, particularly as some of his forces were occupied with dealing with the threat of her Greek Paramour, what a useful cats paw he had proven to be. As to what Alexs final fate would be she remained undecided. Anyway the first priority was to get ready for her own little Barbarossa
Turn 1-3 : coffee: and assembling forces on the Russian front. Plan was simple hold onto Kolhapur and Madras and push forward from Bombay and Delhi to take Novgorod and St Petersburg
Turn 4 Launch the war with 2 stacks of Redcoats and Cannons up towards Novgorod. As scientific method comes in start research on Assembly line, though of course upgrading Redcoats to Infantry is quite
as it costs money and only makes them marginally more effective versus Gunpowder Units couldnt find anything better to Research!!
Turn 5 Novgorod falls, 8 Redcoats and a stack of Cannons tends to do that to a city.
Turn 6 sweep up pillaging Cossacks who can be a threat versus Redcoats. Peter looks like he is going to attack Kolhapur with a stack of Cossacks and Cannons but for some reason chickens out!!
Turn 7-8 Stack heals and moves onto siege St Petersburg
Turn 9-10 St Petersburg falls and move some forces onto siege Rostov.
EOT
We are in cleaning up mode here, move forces onto Rostov then advance North to Moscow , rinse and repeat as required.
One thing to notice is Peter has a stack of Cannons and Cossack sitting outside Kolhapur doing absolutely nothing, really cant work out what he is playing at as he isnt even bombarding down the defences yet. As soon as some reinforcements arrive there we can deal with it. In our distant cities I have been building up a bit of a navy as we are exposed to sneak sea attacks, luckily the AI is crap at that sort of tactic.
Left some troops on goto orders to get to the Russian Front , cancel the Goto if you wish and have also left some workers automatically building a rail network.
