Izzy... Izzy... whatcha doing? We wanted to keep you alive as a Ghandi trading partner.
This is not a terrible situation. I think Izzy is in trouble. She didn't get her stack to Bagacum soon enough. Our reinforcements will arrive before she can attack. If we survive the initial onslaught of arty suicides, she is going to struggle with our inf.
I agree 100% with markh's suggestions. Just be careful when you move the rifles/grens to Bagacum that you don't leave them next to the arty after turn 1. No reason to let her suicide it against the stack.
I was contemplating killing the two isolated arty with grens from Birka. Better to off them now then have them suicide against our city. However, as it might take three grens per arty, the price seems high. I think I'd wait until I had some inf available to take them out.
Strategic: We will need to be thinking about which Izzy cities to keep.
I would leave her alive in Visigoth (as a Ghandi trade partner), raze Barcelona (already under culture pressure as an Izzy city), keep the rest.
