Pre-Turns: We HAVE the gold to build an embassy, IP. It's just not yet mined from our natural ressources that handily call themselves "greeks."
WST is not on regular factory schedule, it is late by 1 metric ton of food in the bin. It will produce an archer and become an idiot friendly 4- turn factory at sizes 5-6, with more gold income from more pop.
T 0. We get all gold, HBR, MM and both WM, Embassy, MA for a net cost of math + lit and a benefit of 35g.
The alliance against Mao costs us literature, however, we've gained some gold overall, though.
The military advisors picks up his scout channel talkie.
"Alpha 2, this is the Pentagon. You are all alone. Radio silence effective now."
"*silently acknowledges the radio silence, through radio silence*"
"All hands over main channel, Defcon 1 has been ringed. Killmaim and Alpha 5 will lead the assaults. Expect no help from the greeks, their philosophers are still trying to figure out an ashtray. And we thought we had idiots around."
"All units in position."
2 archers produced, more queued
IT: I missed something moving near that top chinese target city.
T 1.
"Killmaim reporting, we've dispersed survivors at Hangchow, they'll join the work force."
"Alpha 3 reporting, Alpha 5 and 6 died in the battle, chinese archers still stand. Our men are injured, but the 4th batallion will fight another day."
2 archers produced, more queued
T 2.
"Alpha 3 reporting, Alpha 4 secured the BG position. Chinese galley sunk. Hostiles coming onto Alpha 2."
1 archer produced, more queued
Jungle Wood Ustencils founded, working on barracks (won't finish and should be discussed - whether or not to turn jungle towns into worker pumps)
T 3.
"Hostiles in sight, radio silence broken. Alpha 2 descending onto the grass to pick a fight."
Meanwhile, workers get out of the academy. They are young, innocent, but mostly idiot.
"Looks like our men are taking a liking to this archery thing, general. Alpha 2 out with but a few wounded men."
T 4.
"Charlie leader reporting, we're hiking into the forest."
"Bravo leader reporting, confirming operation 'walk in the park' commenced here too. Hostiles seen and noted protecting workers."
1 cat 1 archer out, more queued.
Up research on construction, we've got some more spare lately.
Chicago cutlery changed to spearmen, as we could use some of those to clean counter-attacks.
Colored cutlery founded on a harbor.
T 5 & 6.
Operation walk in the park goes well, forces are focusing on Canton. The victory at canton must be simple, rapid and decisive.
IT: "Pentagon, this is Charlie 1 CO Jack McManus, Broken arrow, I repeat, our position is doomed, send no more men here."
T 7.
Move everyone to Canton, regroup scout forces. They have a recent road network in the jungle and Charlie 1 learned it the hard way.
T 8.
T 9.
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"All units respond, what was this."
"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
"This is general Wolfe, answer !"
"Admiral K. reporting from the road crew sir, we've found a talkie and an empty pack of cigs, probably left from Alpha 1 here onto the hill"
"Whatever, Admiral, just tell me what damn thing has happened in Canton !"
"We are many days' walk from there, but we can tell Slaves are being carried back into the jungle to start the northern part of the road, sir."
"Good news, Wolfe out."
"Delta 1 reporting sir, from far sight, it looks like 2 units were lost, 3 slave units brought back. Delta standing by for orders"
"Delta, fortify the horse breeders' area. Wolfe out."
T 10.
"Squad re-assignation: Team at HJ to be called Alpha and led by Killmaim. Hold until reinforcements arrive then go for the pyramids."
"Killmaim here, got it."
"Echo squad reinforce Alpha position, All other hands to be led by Delta 1 onto the W coast."
"Got it General."
"Don't blow it, we need those damned white things. Conscript some of those men to defend the place, Killmaim. Wolfe out."
Sorry for the MSN popup in the embassy screen; they have got it in 45 turns: a lot of turns.
For the record, Japs have TGW, so nothing to worry about today.
