France:

Nothern Force Move to accept the transported Arti from the Northern Isle. We will prolly loose our transports but we need them here to get rid of this town.

It does not seem as if Joan is builing the UN. I can see via the f7 screen that she is building the internet but no UN. Which is not actually to supprising because she is at war with over 1/2 of the world. France has however finished 2 of the 10 spaceship parts. I think that the ship gets destroyed when the captial is taken right? so we should'nt have issues there.

Turn 10 (1820AD)
It took 2 dead tanks and 1 redlined and and injured Cossack but I wipe the French MI and Inf our island (The transport next to Dalandzadgad is empty so no need to worry)
I'm going to leave the rest of the units un touched as I found this helpful when Alan gave me the game. I think it help to get acclimated before hitting enter and having all hell break loose.
Pass down notes:
We are still average to the French but we've put a good dent in them
2 workers/3rifle/24cavs (this seems to be what they are building now that Alan razed their Rubber)/1 Inf/ 71 MI/ 7 Arti / 1 caravel / 7 ironclad / 6 destroyers (these are bothersom as they keep killing our transports)/ 12 bombers / 1 leader still unused.
We got dragged into a war with the Aztec by the Japanese IBT. We are kinda thin down there so you will have to arrange what we have to work with. My suggestion is to get the English involved by selling the rocketry to go to war against them. I'd also gift them Warwick as will probably flip to them anyway and it has a tank sitting outside of it right now and it's empty of our units.
All of our Arti are in one stack outside of Marseilles. I've found that if the units in the city are yellow and the city is not over 14 or 15 in size that we can take 'em with "acceptable" losses. Although I just now realize that Marseilles is on a hill
The group to the north I would head down to take Makkah and the Kawauka. From there I'd back up and take down Bagdad as small as possible and then try to keep the city as a place to heal and drop troops into.
I have a galleon outside of Dallas and my plan was to upgrade it to transport and gload it with our few Marines to go hit some islands like Tolosa (keltoi to the north of our homeland)
Last thing is to watch out for Keltic Ironclads that are Hanging around our northern Island.
What we are up against:
Good luck!
