Gandhi war plan this turn
So I drafted 2 infantry and put them and a musket on the galleon on Gandhi west coast to take out Bangalore (next turn amphibiously)
I want to hit Gandi's Eastern city amphibiously as well (assuming the city revolt works ~98% odds)
Not sure what the best way to use the units would be if I do this
CI musket has a ~30 chance of winning vs. CGII longbow that has been reduced to 4.8 strength by the airships
CI CRIII macemen has a ~70 chance of winning vs. the same
Do I wound the longbow with the musket and then attack with the macemen or do I just go for the best odds?
The CI CRIII macemen upgraded to infantry is as good as a CI marine vs riflemen on amphibious attacks so it would be useful vs. Roosy if we upgraded it. So I'm thinking wound the LB first with the CI muskets that are more expendable.
I'll land units next to his Southern most city this turn, then revolt him next turn and (hit him with an airship for good measure) and crush him with cannons and other units including the knights if necessary which will move down from the north.
I'm thinking the ironclad goes with the units that lands units in the south even though I don't see and boats in the area. Backup if that city revolt fails I guess. Other option just move it north already.
=======
If I wait 1 turn for Gandhi war, I could upgrade macemen or muskets to infantry and basically guarantee success vs. Gandhi Western city. But even if we lose a few muskets it isn't the end of the world (I assume). We want peace with Gandhi in 2 turns so how many battle losses can we afford?

Oil hook up this turn??
So I doubt the oil hook would negatively affect us much (I can switch a specialist to ocean tile most likely)
I probably won't take full advantage of it this turn though.
Well I'll have some gold to play with with 0% slider and (assuming 30% cultural slider) so maybe I can start a few Modern Armor.
