T 0 change a few builds to wealth and christian temples. Move units to border for a three pronged attack hoping to confuse Liz into turtling.
One attack by sea from the west, one from the north with a mini stack, and our SoD from the north with a beeline to London for some buddhist burning.
T1 Declare. I take Birgmingham . Bomber base.
T 2 Leave 6 infantry in birmingham and move the rest of the stack through the jungle to London. Other stack go for their marks including naval bombardment of York in the west.
T3 york falls, stack moves on London, mini stack penetrating also in the north. Spys are sabotaging food and coal. gunships pillaging coal.
T4 Liz hits back at York with a marine or two. this is good, diverting from the main stack.
T5 stack moves on London and we see the defence, small. In the west we take Leeds, bombers form orenburg and two CR3 tanks. A GG is born in Pisae, no way to transport him anywhere.
T6 Stack arrives at London, bombers have reduced culture defence to zero. I crank culture to 100%
We prevail
T 7 London burns . One of our spys is actually caught and detained while destroying a vineyard. Little Exter on the west coast self razes, only one population. Fred is pleased , not friendly after the declaration on Liz. I gift hom 200 gold and some free fur.
I see Hatty has a city in the North. If she has another religion in there and with closed borders,we may need to declare on her and Fred. Seems a bit unneccesary, but I will find out the religion if possible.
T 8 Canterbury in the west is the next target. I combination of sea bombardment, then air, then fighter strike ,then tanks Blitz ability means it goes in 1 turn against quite good defence. We're on 62 %
T 9 Take Newcastle on the east coast. check the variant rules; "1. All our cities to have Christianity at earliest opportunity (100% of everyone's cities by end game)."
Our spy getsup to the north city. i should have sent her there earlier.
T 10 Dont play because of dilemma.
Hatty has one city with no religion. we cant convert it because of closed borders. we could raze it and achieve the variant, or see it as a non religion city, therefore OK. We are really close to domination. I have culture at zero but it will be touch and go to raze it before we tip over.
Oh dear, I just noticed that the annoying island Hatty has is Buddhist. we will have to raze it too. I don't know if we can do it before domination.
This is really tricky. I thinK we will need a good force to take that island including bombers going south for the job, and tanks on transports if Hatty has mech inf. It will take 4 or 5 turns to do. Then raze both in one fell swoop. If we want our dom limit to go down, declaring will do it. Fred could take a couple of our cities for us.
On my second turn, war weariness dissapated as the memories of the Russian war faded among our population. I cranked culture back down to 0%.
