Woot! Excellent job folks!
Jaffa, that last turn for the foes was great, lots of puny little
fighting with hopelessly outdated units. I particularly like seeing the two English Frigates sunk, and the immortal in battle.
Cy, I fully agree with your assessment, but you forgot one slam dunk...
Your "fingering" the Persians with Indus, Ganges and Dacca.
Looking at the replay reminded me how much that helped. It checked their advance, took a TON of pressure off Bombay and Bangalore, and... allowed the blitz. Having those 'fingers' SO deep into enemy territory allowed us to take them out before they knew what hit them. (Ok, so they didn't apply the 'cultural pressure' we intended ;p)
The 'replay' was really neat to watch, and a few things stuck out. Our early expansion really was VERY different from other countries, and yes, it meant big trouble for France and a good setup for us. The aggressiveness of the Persians was also something to watch, as was the speed we rolled through them and the Zulus in our monster campaigns.
