Got it - played it 20 turns to 1920
Preturn emptied all Spanish cities of units
Gandhi bombed Keflovik with force every turn, also pillaging on that island, otherwise only move was to take Trondheim which I let him keep since it has uranium in it.
Nothing else to report - no move to take Madrid to obtain aluminium so he can build Apollo, investigation of Delhi shows he is building bombers

Note to next player

We need Gandhi to obtain aluminium

Best chance is in XSpain (Madrid) - also req harbour (or connecting airport)

I have emptied XSpain and would suggest letting Gandhi take whatever he wants there

We have no concerns re domination ( I think we are in the low 40%s and Gandhi in the high 20%s)

We remain far far stronger than Gandhi, and even if we were weaker we could quickly rectify the situation, so have just hunkered down in XCeltia except Trondheim where Gandhi defeated our SAM with TOW. It has uranium so let him keep it. Dont know if having uranium will influence his building Appollo, whilst it is required for SS parts it is not a prerequisite for Appollo

Who's gunna grab this next?

 

[markh]

I' gonna take it for tonight, so I got it.

 

[markh]

I played 20 until 1955. Nothing much happened. India is equal to us in territory now. He razed a city in XSpain.

 

[juballs2001]

k i will take it right now... post in a bit

 

[juballs2001]

k its 1961... and a huge breakthrough...

Ghandi took sp!Barcelona.

this city is one culture expansion away from gaining aluminum.

so we can build a smaller city north and hope ghandi takes that as well, closing the cultural borders around the aluminum..

well good luck to whomever is next, i will be unavailable this weekend.

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

I think I'm up. Can have it in about 20 hours, if someone wants it go on.

 

[Andronicus]

It's yours Khan

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Thanks, Andronicus. Sorry, havent played. Tomorrow, promised. I'll send the equivalent of alluminium needed for Apollo in beer cans to Ghandi.

 

[Andronicus]

Hey, I'll help recycle a few too

SGOTM9
(0) 1961 AD
Do what the previous player had suggested, load the two settlers and direct them towards Barcelona.
(IBT) Ghandi sends 4 sweet bombers on our army. Scared.
(1) 1962 AD
Unload the settlers next to Alluminium, pick a barb camp and set the army on the settlers for this turn. The Indians have two TOW on the airports next to Karachi, now they must go.
(2) 1963 AD
Bodo founded next to aluminium, suddenly it’s a liked place, it’s pop goes up to 3 for 60000 inhabitants. Move an AEGIS to find the Indian carrier, those bombers are irritating. – six of them around already.
(5) 1966 AD
Bomb Karachi, kill 3 enemy bombers and redline 3 others. They’ll not come out soon. Nice in hit priority, aerial and sea units go down first .
(6) 1967 AD
3 more bombers down, 1 redlined left. Take out a destroyer too, he was out for coastal bombing. No Indian land movement. Investigate Barcelona, building TOW in 101 at 0 cpt. Moron. India is a Fascism, what a moron. Again.
(7) 1968 AD
G is wasting his time in Bombers. I’ll let him bomb so that he stops producing them.
(8) 1969 AD
The moron loses all his bombers (3) on the SAMs in New Aarhus.
(9) 1970 AD
One more dies the same way.
(10) 1971 AD
A barb pillages Bodo, losing the shields on the bomber there! I almost thought he was grey…
(11) 1972 AD
Automatize workers on our continent. Pollution is nasty.
(12) 1973 AD
G is only building bombers. I would cut his oil.
(13) 1974 AD
3 more bombers down. That makes it about 20 since the beginning of my turns. I pull out the armies so that they die les easily against the SAMs.
(14) 1975 AD
A galleon and a destroyer leave Barcelona. With all those empty cities in Spain, that IS intelligent.
(15) 1976 AD
Kill 2 TOW, our continent is not for sale.
(16) 1977 AD
G tries to plant a spy.
(19) 1980 AD
BtD – Bored to Death.
(20) 1981 AD
Barcelona tries to defect, rebuff the rebels.
(24) 1985 AD
I’ll stop here. It’s extremely boring and I would like to know if some other team is more lucky than us. I guess the aluminium blew all our chances away.
PS: I hadn't enough beer cans, obviously. Maybe I shouldn't have sent it with the beer in it, now all the Indian army is drunk and stays home... G on head...

 

[markh]

So, Abegweit is up.

 

[Abegweit]

OK done.

We are now in the year 2005. This marks the first time I have ever played into the 20th century, let alone the 21st.

Highlight of the set: Bodo was pillaged three times.

 

[Abegweit]

I see that Klarius has won a Historiographic victory.

 

[Andronicus]

I'll take a turn later today

The end is nigh ... now if Gandhi would just launch his tin-can SS.

 

[Andronicus]

I see that Klarius has won a Historiographic victory.

and Bede suffered a 20k cultural loss, and Peanut had histographic victory in PTW

will anyone get Dumbo in space?

In retrospect I think our biggest error was not identifying Gandhi's need for overseas resources and not letting him keep Madrid when he first took it.
I for one was too wrapped up on encouraging him to concentrate on the starting continent.

 

[Andronicus]

Question to team

For a bit of fun is anyone interested in launching a SS in 2050AD?
If Gandhi isnt going to do it perhaps we could at least show him how its done.
It would make achange from other teams finishing with histo victories

 

[Khan_Asparuh]

Go ahead, I doubt we can count on him.
I guess I will not see this game anymore. It was fun from a strategic point of vue, but the AI's hadn't obviously read the small letters in the contract.
We teach them to fight (I think we made it), but he goes in space after... Maybe we should nuke the earth so that he starts looking for another planet???...

 

[juballs2001]

haha.. sounds great Andro!!

i would be up for that.... launching Apollo... and then building the SS on our last turn.

however maybe we should consult with the powers that be first.
also... remember that the winner will be determined by the number of SS parts built by 2050. so if Ghandi can crack out a few at least... i think our chances are pretty good
