BTW, what kind of army did Washington become?

 

[Tubby Rower]

Good idea on the Bomber idea. Although I'd try to get them in our northern coast. A heli can reach the tip of that island but Lizzy just plopped a city there. Bombers should be able to reach the target with less chance for flak

EDIT due to x-post: Washington became charge of the Light brigade filled with TOW's and is currently pillaging their way through Lizzy's territory. I guess we should raze the two cities that I captured before pressing enter. We'll need to rush a harbor or airport in The city I planted though. Back some troops up to the foothold city (I forgot the name), Lizzy took it a coupl of turns ago with 3 marines.

This might be a stupid question (yet again) but why not a tank army? We'll have more trouble in England and in Italy, so we could build armies of tanks in these places, so that they get to be the next best thing to MA's... what kind of good is a TOW infantry army anyways

 

[Tubby Rower]

The TOW infantry army is pillaging. No resources no army. No rails, no quick counter-attack.

Aawww crap, TOW's don't require resources. So Lizzy will keep building them.. Sorry guys. I didn't think about it and the tanks weren't there. I thought that I would need it for defense too. Oh well. We're likely to get another one. Or we could build the Mil. Acad. but armies can't be transported via heli or airdropped.

 

[eldar]

Yeah, but she won't attack a TOW army - she'll only bomb it, and with no oil... Without food, she'll starve; without mines, she won't have production.

 

[jb1964]

TOW army was a good move at that juncture. The city was newly founded in enemy territory and there were no assurances that our worker/airport would survive the two turns needed to load the army.

Pillage the daylights out her!

My one request is that the last English city be taken with a tank.

 

[Tubby Rower]

Anyone below can post a 'got it' and play. Let's try to finish this thing.

SW has noted some PC problems in another SG thread so anyone should feel free to grab and play.

I have family in town through Wednesday morning so I'm off Civ until then.

I'm still compiling notes for the final spoiler and will post what I have when I finally get through all the freaking SPAM!

 

[Tubby Rower]

I'm gonna play a few more during lunch

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

Will have more time tomorrow, should give it a go then

 

[Tubby Rower]

I played a few more turns... I managed to get two more leaders!! Lee is commanding a tank army in Lizzy's bombarded homeland. Sherman is in a helicopter ready to be deployed to whatever island the next player thinks is necessary. Remember only leaders can be transported not armies.<<SAVE>>

Here is a shot of Lizzy's core for your enjoyment

I've also bombarded the roads up by her Oil city. No tanks for her until a harbor is built up there. Also while planting a spy into Scandavia, they caught him and declared. We do have one in England though.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I think we can handle the vikes even with our full force being in england - atm we'll probably need reinforcements on the spices island but that's it. GJ.

 

[jb1964]

If the vies declared then we need to be sure to keep a TOW in our most important, and any vulreable, cities to protect against Zerks.

BTW Tubby, nice "few more turns". The GL's will seal the deal even more quickly.

Great job pillaging. I also see, or should I say don't see... London.

Chicago Cutley needs to be MM'ed. I see that we lost a population there and are now two sheilds shy of building a tank and will produce 32 the next turn. I would turn it into a TOW.

Actually, I see that we've had a nice run of WW and that the entire core is in a bit of flux. The next leader will have some issues.

Time for a government change?

 

[Tubby Rower]

I was thinking a government change BUt which fascism or commie? I don't plan on taking too many cities so xenophobia wouldn't bother me.

Lizzy just revolted as well, so this thing will be drawn out. I guess with Commie we could build the SPHQ and get corruption lower. I did go nuts with the entertainers. I got tired of going through every other turn and MMing. So I made sure that we wouldn't have to worry with it. I guess that 50% WW should have been a sign that we need to revolt. Oh well. I did get 2 leaders .

 

[eldar]

Okay: NO to commie. Definitely NO to Fascism! Let the AIs fester in it.

 

[jb1964]

Government change - I'm still voting for Monarchy if it's going to be constant war from here on out. I just like cash rushing better than snapping off a few citizens here and there. Also, I think we'll have better production in the core cities w/ Monarchy over Commie. True?

Sacking London, cutting off the English oil and generating two GL's is more than enough penance for not MM’ing for a few turns. Right now it’s more important to finish. We’re not going to win on the high or low end and I seriously doubt we can lose.

 

[Beorn-eL-Feared]

I'd be inclined for a SPHQ. Why not eldar? Too many sci farms?

 

[eldar]

No change of government, period. 9 turns of anarchy? Why? We'll be stopping research soon, the Lux slider will be all we need.

i concur (another big word by the jive talker)

 

[Tubby Rower]

Lizzy has an airport in london so any other city with an airport still connects them. We need to sack London soon .

Synthetic Fibers is being researched now and then it'll be MA vs TOWs
