Sounds good, keep our cities well defended, we have long supply lines for renforements as well so if we do face resitance it could be troubling. keep your eyes peeled for SOD headed to Gandhi, if you see an oppertunity might well be worth nipping in and spanking Charles whilst he's distracted.

If we go for industrialism we can add a few tanks to the mix, that will really help the advance.

remconius · Jan 23, 2009

Good stuff, Cripp!

Cavalry had taken the Indian city and were healing/defending until defensive units would arrive.

A backstab was the plan for Charly, as he was moving on to Gandhi.

delete....

KingMorgan · Jan 23, 2009

Harsh, hope you manage to sort it all out.

cripp7 · Jan 23, 2009

Uhh

I was plagued by 2 CTD's, first one after turn 2 and then turn 7. I told AlanH everything that happened and made the same exact moves, nothing different. Don't hate me, didn't blindside Charlie. Hindsight, should've done thing a lot differently. But we got Industrialism, a GG and a GP but couldn't hold Arga.

We do need more destroyers, sub pillaged clam by Lots of Marble. Was upgrading galleons to transports (+1 troop, +1 movement. Those +6xp transport can be upgraded to Flank I>Nav I for real fast transports) I'm learning what TO do and what NOT to do, I'll put this as a NOT. Still winnable, Ghandi is down to 2 cities, one we can shrine. Definitaly need to get peace with Charlie at least for 10 turns

KingMorgan · Jan 23, 2009

Spanked!!

Unlucky cripp, Tanks are the order of the day me thinks, we have many Arty but few units. Shame, would be good to hit Agra and wipe his stack out. Have a feeling theres another stack in Vari, will check it out with an Airship.

I'll post a PPP tomorrow night or maybe Sunday. Unless Pigswill can/wants to pick it up?

KingMorgan · Jan 24, 2009

We are in trouble.

Charles has 14 cav, 14 SAM Inf, 5 Greds and an olliephant sat outside Bombay. I've suicided 3 Artys (Barrage 2) into it and scratched it a bit. There are 8 Sam Inf in Nuremberg and some random units, looks like hes producing about 2 cavs and Artys per tunr as re-enforcements.

Charle steals Medicne

I could suicide all our artys into the stack, but we are so short of infantry/cavs it would be impossible to mop up. I think if we did beat the stack by the time we get some more troops over he'd have a bigger stack.

Turn 298
I decide to try to hold Bombay, a few re-eforcements are sent to garrison. i pick off a few units with infantry, lose 2 fortify the rest. 10 infa, 5 MG's 10+ arties. Airships bombard us, minimal damage.

Celtic revolt in kremlin city. 3 Atries sent to garrison.

Turn 299

Charlie re-enforces his stack only a few units + arties. He takes the city, we have lost Bombay. Charles has Ass Line. :rolleyes:

We are going to lose Dehli and Kremlin city, probaly will not get re-enforments in time.

i've saved so we can have a chat about our action plan. Charlie will take peace for Delhi and Industrialism.

The save is mid turn. hit the pause button on your keyboard then have a look around.

Pause doesn't work, but do we load up marines,tanks to take it back? I think once his stack is knocked down should be good. too bad we don't have nukes

KingMorgan · Jan 25, 2009

Are yopu using pause/break on your keyboard? Not that it matters it was just to prevent units being moved accidently. More of an issue for me i think!!

Tanks and marines will be the way forward, sadly a long lead time on them. I'm just worried we can't defend the remaing indian cities.

Nukes would be very handy.

remconius · Jan 25, 2009

Yeah, hold wha you can and rebuild the force. I guess we were a little too greedy

KingMorgan · Jan 25, 2009

Okey dokey. I shall see what can be done. I'm not too hopfully though.

*Update*

My pessimism seems to have been misplaced, things went better than expected.

As expected we couldn't hold kremlin city, Charlie paid a heavy price as he did with bombay. renforcements arrived and died.

Delhi was held, i managed to defeat 2 stacks of mainly SAMs and Cavs, the last 3 turns started to see our tanks in action. Our barrage 2 arties piled into stacks attacking first from the north then to the south. The first chalie stack was not totally destroyed, about 4 units limped off, the 2nd larger stack was wiped clean out, annoyingly we lost a tank at 95% odds, damn you RNG!

the Gprophet was shipped back to ulundi, just in case. there is a General in Samrtian, i suggest a medic or an mil adc in Samritian. there is a monster tank n infranty stack enroute to Delhi. please build another stack of the same size before going on the attack. There is a galleon with 3 infantry near Trash house, unload it and then head to the island city sandwiched between the 2 celtic citys to pick 4 more infraty, you may want to upgrade to transport.

i think charlie is nearly broken, i doubt we will see any more large stacks, there is a semi large stack hanging around but i don;t think it poses a threat.

August has been wonder happy, i've not had a chance to build any of the radio ones, been warring

I suggest we need a 10 turn peace with charles, our tech rate is dropping off. Perhaps a sprint to Internet is in order if we gain a temp peace.

Lame, but this was before charile got spanked.

not the best trade, but what the hell, why not!!!

Told gandhi where to stick his silly request. Maybe we will take him as a vassal, but at a time of our choosing.

in summary, i think we are back on track.

Edit 2

Adding a save is always good!!

cripp7 · Jan 26, 2009

Good job King! :goodjob:

at least Charlie's stacks are gone. I think we'll be good tech wise once Internet is in, is that a wonder or a project?

KingMorgan · Jan 27, 2009

It is a project. I think we need it if we want to continue our military conquests, either that or beeline fission and nuke the AI into the stone age.

cripp7 · Jan 29, 2009

Who's up next?

remconius · Jan 29, 2009

Pigswill, but he has not been around for a while.

If he is gone, i'll pick up tonight or tomorrow night.

KingMorgan · Jan 31, 2009

Any update then remi?

remconius · Jan 31, 2009

I was really tired last night. Didnt get off the couch :-)

I'll play now...

remconius · Jan 31, 2009

Charly is on his knees!

HIGHLIGHTS
Recaptured Kremlin and Bombay! :lol:

(some bad luck of the RNG :sad:

)

We got plastics, on the way to satellites.
Tried to build a wonder (Eiffel) but was beaten to it. Got some cash though

We can build the Red Cross somewhere.

Units will be healed in a few turns and should finish off Charly.
Pericles is no longer vassal of Charly and I made peace with him (for free).
Great General in Sarmarssan can move to front to have a new Level 3 Medic.

Given the time it is taking to take over the world, we should focus on getting as many wonders as possible.

THE SAVE

KingMorgan · Jan 31, 2009

Good work Remi, i'll have a peak at the save in the morning.

nicely done remi, charles is on the ropes and we'll soon knock him out for the count!!

cripp7 · Feb 1, 2009

Charlie's hurt now, he won't be a problem. Beeline Internet to get us back to tech parity.

Red Cross- Ulindi maybe
We have 2 GPs waiting, The Dai Miao(Taoism shrine) has been built in Vienna. Yes make a Medic III GG with that GG we have just hanging around.
