We lose a spy who attempted to cut Monty's grasp of iron at his capital.
Another spy is being built, second spy moving towards Monty's oil.
I boost research to 60%, culture to 10%
Maybe, just maybe, we can still get Anjar with culture pressure, and I want
to delay war weariness as long as possible.
Our army has closed in on Monty's capital.
Minor engagements follow, anything I can hit with a sure victory, I will.
Reinforcements make an appearance at the front.
Modern Armor defeats (11.20/40): Aztec Marine
Tank defeats (13.72/28): Aztec Infantry

We have an army outside of Monty's capital, healing. (Darn it! Didn't want that!)
They are getting reinforced, and monty's capital is getting bombed pretty hard.
However, monty has fighters and SAM infantry working overtime to keep us
at arms reach. It isn't working, but we are losing the occasional jet fighter
and stealth bomber to Monty's fighter's and SAM's. (Annoying)
The UN had a vote, I voted no.
Just out of spite, really. Something about
religion or something. Monty proposed it, so I said "No way, you weasel."
Cyrus is driving towards Monty's capital too, so this isn't looking good
for monty.
Hatty has been reduced to her capital, everything else has been captured.
IBT: Monty attacks our stack outside his capital with more artillery, and
he knocked out a modern tank with a gunship. Grrr.
Tank defeats (10.08/28): Aztec Artillery
Modern Armor loses to: Aztec Gunship (19.92/24)
Tank defeats (5.32/28): Aztec Infantry

The UN resolution was passed, free religion for everyone. Even Cyrus
voted for it! lol. Oh well, I hope I made Monty crazy angry now.

There is much unhappiness in our lands. Too bad, really, but we are fighting
this war anyway, folks.
It's looking like Monty has been sending troops from the war with Hatty back
into his mainland to defend himself. Too little, too late, but it does
mean this may take a bit longer.
Now I start rolling the dice. I see Monty bringing up troops, and I want
that capital of his before he can properly defend it.
His capital has been reduced to 0% defense, and I've used a few airstrikes
as well, just to soften him up a bit. Still, most of our attacking tanks
will be injured, only a few of our tanks are unhurt. This may get ugly, but
I decide to go for it. In for a penny, in for a pound!
Battle of Tenochtitlan!
(healthy) Modern Armor attacks Monty's Capital!
Oooh nice! We totally squished that defending infantry. woo hoo
Modern Armor defeats (40.00/40): Aztec Infantry
(Injured) Modern Armor attacks!
Monty's infantry goes down swinging. Our Modern Armor even manages to
further cause collateral damage to 3 of Monty's units.
Modern Armor defeats (15.20/40): Aztec Infantry
(Injured) Tank attacks Monty's last Infantry defender!
Victory! Yeah baby!
Tank defeats (9.24/28): Aztec Infantry
That's the way we do it back home on the muffin ranch.
There is only two more SAM infantry defenders, and misc units (bombers and such)
(injured) Tank attacks Monty's SAM (city defense II.)
Tank loses to: Aztec SAM Infantry (8.64/18)
Ack, he died! Who told him he could die? Grrr, I am now morally outraged.
(healthy) Mec Inf attacks Monty's SAM!
Victory!
Mechanized Infantry defeats (2.24/32): Aztec SAM Infantry
We are one attack shy of taking the Budhist Holy City! Yes!!!
(injured) Tank attacks Monty's last SAM!
Tank defeats (19.32/28): Aztec SAM Infantry
We have taken Tenochtitlan! The peasants rejoice!
(Not really, lots of rioting, but that is "freedom rioting", not "oppressive
rioting". We totally liberated that city from it's dictator!)
Yay for the Lurkers!
Tenochtitlan begins: Theatre
I move our wounded invasion army into the city for healing.
I have been trying to slide some of our medic's on the nappy border towards
fighting with monty. I got a weird MedicII gunship now, waiting to be set
free to set up a MASH at the new Lurker style Budhist holy city.
Heh heh. Monty, you are so totally going to get it!
I drop research down to 0%, culture still at 10%.
I intend to use the extra cash for occasional purchasing.
(Upgrades or jail rushes)
Monty was getting too close to one of our new cities, so I used a Marine
to take out his gunship. Good marine, well done!
Marine promoted: Combat I
Marine promoted: Combat II
Marine defeats (14.40/24): Aztec Gunship
That was the best turn ever, even if I take a nap now it won't matter.
Monty will never recover from that kind of body blow.
And he still has Cyrus's invasion to worry about too! lol
Anjar is getting crushed by culture. Heh heh.
I have to do some MM'ing. Lots of citizens outraged by our successful war.
Most of this will be solved with Jails being produced, I hope.
IBT: Monty Attacks!
We lose a modern armor outside of Tenochtitlan to a gunship.
Modern Armor loses to: Aztec Gunship (16.32/24)
Another gunship destroys a mech infantry outside of Tenochtitlan as well.
Mechanized Infantry loses to: Aztec Gunship (14.40/24)
Monty used an infanty unit to engage and destroy one of our tanks in the
city, but we will be getting stronger now each turn.
Tank loses to: Aztec Infantry (15.20/20)
4. 1937 AD
Timbuktu begins: Modern Armor
Kumbi Saleh begins: Marine
Walata begins: SAM Infantry
Hinduism spread to Calixtlahuaca. That may help matters in that city.
I spot a nice target, Monty has emptied troops from Xochicalco!
Only one infantry/artillery unit remain. I hope Cyrus takes it.
If not, I'll see if I can't send something there to take it next
turn.
I use a couple of airstrikes on Monty's gunship/artillery outside his
old capital.
I move in a healthy modern armor to remove his threatening
gunship from outside the city.
Our healthy modern armor is untouched, and is victorious!
Modern Armor defeats (27.60/40): Aztec Artillery
Modern Armor defeats (40.00/40): Aztec Gunship
Tank defeats (28.00/28): Aztec Artillery
Ack, now I see a stack of Monty's troops heading towards his old Capital.
I will have to send additional forces, and try to lure him away in order
to give our units in the city time to heal. This will be sad, all those
gunships are going to hurt.
Good thing I was checking around.
Monty has two tanks near Shaggy! I will have to deal with this now.
We have tons of unhappy citizens. Production is grinding to a halt, so I
switch civics.
We are now in a police state!
Take that! Now let's win this war! Oooh yeah!
Now we are much better able to win this war without production grinding
to a halt. Sorry citizens, you brought this on yourself.
I find a sleeping stealth bomber at Kumbi, which I use to pound Monty's
stack outside his old capital! Yes! I also throw all our injured fighters
(that are over 50% health) to further injure his stack. Our fighters were
interecepted by his SAM's, but didn't die! Further damage done to his stack.
I hope to make them so injured that if they do attack our units, they
will fall apart at contact. I hope this works.
IBT: Monty attacks and destroys one of our modern tanks!
Tank loses to: Aztec Gunship (14.64/24)
Cyrus helped by using a stealth bomber on Monty's stack it looks like.
Nice going Cyrus!
Hatty asks us for aid, sattelites? Okay Hatty, hope you are feeling better.

Monty has the audacity to bring an injured tank into our borders near Shaggy!
The nerve! I bomb him with our newly completed Stealth bomber.
I follow up with an attack by our waiting tank sitting in Shaggy.
Tank defeats (28.00/28): Aztec Tank
Easy victory. Our tank needs 1 more XP before I would promote him to
modern armor. Don't want to loose that valuable XP he has earned.
I bomb the heck out of our next target, but lose a spy who attempted to
sabotage Monty's Hydro Plant production in that city. Rats.
We now have our medic gunship in Monty's old capital. Healing will occur
much more rapidly. I hope to leave defenders soon, and take another city
before I hand the war into Scowlers capable hands.
