1788 AD (0)
Not much to do, I do swap some production to something besides Bombers. Swap all temple builds to settlers. Abandon some cities, as we were at 64% and too close to the edge. I then spend most of our cash rushing units all over. Load two infantry on a transport sitting at Gandasetaigon. They head for the two island cities of the Arabs.
(I) We have one Hussar who is attacked and retreats.
1789 AD (1)
Bomb and the infantry on the radar tower near Shiraz. This make the nearby arty more useful. Looks like there weren't enough bomber in range to take out the defneders but the barracks is gone. The bombing campaign then starts on the towers near Fustat. Bomb the the island cities, one of which I discover has no troops. I then land an infantry near it to raze it next turn. The other city has a mech in it so I will continue to bomb it. Bring most of the armies back to heal. Looks like not much progress but cleaning up this turn. Move some combat settlers up to get some cities positioned.
(I) They expose several units but we lose two hussars.
1790 AD (2)
The offending units are taken out. The cities are bombed again and we capture Shariz long enough to get a settler in place and you know the drill. Two healed arimies advane on Fustat. Some settler placement movement.
(I)Notihing
1791 AD (3)
The bombing campaign sontinues. Fustat is reduced to rubbled and razed, The armies are all healed, so the action should start next turn. We raze the empty city on the island and continue to bomb the other. It seems that we have to go through and destroy their navy before we can get at their mech.
(I)They lose 2 TOW inf to kill one hurt mech.
1792 AD (4)
The tower at Orenburg is pounded and destroyed. The city is then poiunded and razed. The same thing happens at Kufah. The tower at Najran is next. Najran is razed and we position ourselves to go after the last city on the landmass next turn. I just noticed that they have one more island city north of the big lnad mass. I rush a bunch of marines in France to load next turn.
(I) We watch the last of their fllet leave the island city covering a transport.
1793 AD (5)
The last mainland city is bombed and razed. We load up the marines and start off. The bombers not used our moved to the island city. The transports are on the way. Just for fun, I rush some carriers. I get the armies lined up to load into transports.
(I) The big naval manuaver drops one poor TOW inf off on our island.
1794 AD (6)
After I finish rebasing all the bombers, the TOW Inf is no more. We then bomb the city of Gewauga down till it is empty and capture it. I then switch and bomb the transport and escorts to the bottom of the sea, although it cost us two of our 78 bombers. The transports will pick up the armies next turn.
(I) Nothing at all.
1802 AD (7)
With the bombers in Gewauga able to just barely hit the city, we rebase all of them there. We load 7 armies into transports and fill them in with mech inf and marines. They won't get to the island for another turn though.
(I)
1804 AD (8)
Some how the date got off, oh well. Be bomb the last city till it is empty and one marine steps in to finish the game. I then fortify all remaining units and save the game.
We win of course! 5919 points.
