How close are we to domination?
Also, what victory condition have we decided to go for?

The first one that we can reach?
Preferably one that is less ugly and doesn't see the game reaching me again?

i told you i was tired 
actually, ie crashed to desktop while typing that report, so i had to do it 2x, and forgot to attach the 2nd time. here it is...Pre-turn: okay, game is back here..
Didn't have nerves to play full turn-set last time.
Hope to do better this time around.
Ok... let's see, lux slider has to go up 10% to prevent massive riots.
Ottomans have ICBM and i wonder what they are going to nuke next turn.
Iznik and Uzkudar have more than 60% chances to flip. I moved only one MI to Uskudar. Ottoman army has only 1 tank, i don't need many units in the city.
Moved some Mech.Inf. around... watch computer screen for about 5 minutes.
Ok -> next turn.
IBT. Well, they nuked allright, Tiny town of Kaiser was the target. Nuclear blast killed all defenders... 2 Turk MIs rolled into pop1 city capturing it.
Oh! i forgot to beef up Iznik defence... We only had 2hp MI there. Our MI killed first turkish MI, but second osman's MI burned our heroic defender and captured city.
T1. 1530AD Actually losing Iznik was for good. Osmans pop-rushed TOW in Iznik and it is now only pop 3. Recapture Iznik. Raze ottoman city of Birka. Uskudar has 70% flip chance. So single MI there and i will abandon city later. Connected Delhi again - it looks ugly after nuclear blast. Sold Sattelites to Persia for 2 luxes some gold and 44gpt.
IBT. Few ottoman and french TOWs/marines try to inflitrate into our land...
T2. 1535AD. Exterminated all invaders, almost disconnected our own coal by ordering artillery to bombard stack of 1hp enemy units; generated a leader and built another tank army. Actually, i wanted to rush ICBM and nuke Ottoman's uranium source, but pushed wrong button and created an army instead. Put rails to Iznik. Siege of Istanbul is scheduled for the next turn.
IBT. More Turk and French TOW trying to penetrate
T3. 1540 Ignore those slow moving units and concentrate all attention in Istanbul. Raze Istanbul but for the price of one tank army.
Steal Nuclear Power from Osman.
T4. 1545AD. Had zillions elite wins but no luck. Moved settler to the position next to the new osman capital - Bursa. Will settle next turn and siege Bursa
IBT. Rheims deposed to France... Inconvinient....
T5. 1550AD. Bursa razed with no casualties on our side. Moving few units to recapture Rheims. Moving couple of settlers into ottomans land for a little push over. With a little french help single tank razed Bordoux. We own 36% of land. Osmans are second with 22%. Just noticed something - Persia still has 12 archers in their military.. Must be X-mans personal body guards.
Uskudar still has around 70% to flip and i guess i am lucky it never did. If it doesn't flip next turn i will abandon city and re-settle.
This is the situation for the mid-turns:

This is the situation for the mid-turns:
(to be continued...)
IBT. Have some ottoman/french insurgency.. Perfect for leader farming.
T6. 1555AD. Every single kill this turn is elite kill but no luck in leader farming. moving settlers deeper into ottomans land. Will have some action next turn. New bombay is founded.
IBT. we were nuked again...
City of Hareid was to be exact.. There were 2 armies and few other units... Only one army survived.. My fault.. 
Should not have kept more than one army in town to heal. Enjoying lovely scene of french and ottomans killing each other.
T7. 1560AD. Razed city of Ellipi. Lost two tanks but destroyed 10 Ottoman Jet Fighters. New Madras and New Bangalore are founded. Uskudar is finally abandoned. New Calcutta founded. I am getting really close to Ottoman's last source of Uranium and it should be disconnected next turn.
At the end of the turn i ended up with some extra tanks so i gave them some use.. Sinop is razed but at the cost of 4 lost tanks.
I've been building settlers in all "small" towns just to fill the gaps...
IBT. Some insurgency from both side, nothing to worry about at the moment.
T8. 1565AD. Disconnected Otto's uranium. Captured Antalya and we reached western seashore. Razed Edrine.
New Calhapur/Jaipur/Hyderabad/Bengal/Punjab/Chittagong founded. We are at 45% dom limit. If we only could build temples and some culture to fill those tiny gaps around our cities.
T9. 1570AD. Izmit razed. New Indus/Ganges/Pune founded. More elite wins and yet no leaders yield. He-He... our Mil.Adv. tells me we are strong compared to the rest of the world.
T10. 1575AD Aarhus razed and Osman's capital jumped east to Accad. Finally got myself another leader and built tank army. Founded more cities.
Post-turn:
We are at 50% of domination limit. I have units all over the place but I think i woke up all the tanks that have moves left.
Ottomans are down to 15TOWs and 14Mis.
France 14MIs, 29TOWs, 11 Marines. Both have lots of Jets. I was largely ignoring France during my turns. But it is almost the point where we can attack both Ottomans and France simultaneously.
Otto have Superconductors we can steal, but i was saving money for Modern Armor steal if it ever comes.
I believe i played these 10 turns for around 6 hours... Next player should check if some house cleaning is required before hitting next turn.

Thanks d-man. I thought I was just being a dope. I have it. I'll try to give as much as a play by play as possible.
If I have to hand it off to Bede I will have failed. And failure is not an option.

Since this little trick worked so well for Sirian => 
We hereby invoke the power of the pink dot.
Pre-flight 1575 AD Were at 50% of land area, 44% of pop. Since were mobilized, we cant build any cultural building so well have to settle the remaining 66%. Neither Osman or Joan have any uranium. And since they dont have any nukes, the nuclear war is over. I refuse to use nukes.
We have tons of cash, but no one has Synth Fibers to steal. Stealing superconductor just doesnt make since for us. I move a small stack on Konya (Otto) in the west and on Tours (Fr) in the east.
Were finally ready to go.
IBT The Ottomans and the French finally sign a peace treaty. There are several French bombing runs, and we kill a marine, but nothing else.
1. 1580 AD First we consolidate the front. That means capturing all these Ottoman cities scattered across the country side. First Konya artillery shows four mechs and a marine.
We take that without loss.
I think I will keep the cities, because, if the Ottomans dont exist anymore, it will be difficult to flip back.
Next we go up north
Riz has two regular redlined mechs defending.
We lose a tank, but kill the two mechs revealing a marine. Riza joins the Peoples Republic of India (PRI.) A little more
cant hurt.
Found Bede Bay on the coast, and Grahamiam Flats on the plains of the former France.

1. 1580 AD (cont) Bombardment reveals two TOW defending at Stavanger.
Stavanger is captured with the loss of 2 hp.
The far northern city will require a second turn to capture, so I turn to the eastern Ottoman cities. Bolu first.
Bombardment reveals two mechs and a TOW defending.
We lose a mech and a tank, but the city is ours.
Found Dmananko River, capture a French settler pair, found Gozpel City
At Akkad, there are four TOW defending. There ends up being two additional conscript TOW, a redlined mech and a marine. They all die. I lost the picture, but trust me we captured it.
Up at Strasbourg, we use a fresh army to take out the mech and the TOW defending and most of Osmans air force is destroyed when we capture the city.
Over at Tours, we lose a tank, but autoraze the city. We are now at 55% of land, 50% of pop.
I use a mech army to take out Nippur.

While I'm here, it occurs to me that I ought to reveal one of my secrets.
Here's a shot of my warehouse of baling wire.
Supplies were running low on my last turn as I tried to hold our empire together. Good thing I had such a stockpile on hand.
